BEN' HARDER '3 re-election as President of the Cham ber of Commerce, by acclamation, i a well deserved trib ute to the hijih quality of his services to that organization ami this community during the past year. For many years Medford has had one of the best chambers of commerce in the state, if not the efficient leadership of Bill Harder, Tiith capable executne work of secretary A. H. Ban well ; what used to be mainly a hot-air and hurrah-boys booster club, has come to be a capable and business-like organization, devoted constantly to the constructive development not only of Medford, but of Jackson county, and this entire section of the state. THE sound doctrine that what benefits one section of Jackson county benefits all, has never been lost sight of. The equally sound doctrine, that this is essentially an agricultural and horti cultural district and the cornerstone of our prosperity, rests on the prosperity of our ranchers and farmers those on the soil has been kept constantly in mind. Supported by sn unusually Mr. Harder as President, in his horse sense, and breadth of outlook, has during the past year, established a record for achievement of which he and the mem bers of his organization may well be proud. T h fortunate for Medford Harder has agreed to carry hard work, time, increased responsibility, innumerable annoy ances and irritations, in short it means personal sacrifice, of no mean order, on his part. But true to the Medford tradition, of disinterested public service, Mr. Harder agreed to for another twelve months, in view of the insistence of the hoard that he do so. Insistence is perhaps too weak formation the board was in no refusal. WELL, anyway, it's all to the good. The Mail Tribune com mends the cood indcincnt of the board, confrrattilates President Harder, and can wish high a record for service and year, as was made in the year just It Isn SO the IiPflgue of Notions has i-rUt. mul fill in ns hpfni A year or so ago the League the next day, the status quo ante, Had the League provisions been followed, an economic boy cott against Germany would have been applied, and the same action would have been taken against Japan. But the present leaders of the League don't believe in boy cotts. They don't believe in coercive measures of any kind. They only believe in long winded speeches, hiirh sounding reso lutions, and in words, words, words! Which is why the League is so pathetic and impotent today. NOT because it isn't right, NOT because it isn't properly imple mented to accomplish something, toward preventing war. But because those in control of it, cither lack the inclination or the courage, to follow the course the League specifically prescribes. It is the abuse not the- use of the League of Nations, that has made it such a symbol of impotence, in a war-mad world. . were boys.

LAWFl'L CHICANERY It la often said, not without eir-; cumstance, that the fellow who , breaks In and steals a loaf of bread for his hungry family Is more certain of pun ishment than is the Individual of position who be trays a trust and embezzles enor mous sums or the shrewd busi ness man who knows how to defraud the cred ulous and yet keep within the law. Recent tendencies to grant a mor atorium on mortgages on small dwellings Indicate that ' we are be ginning to recognize that crime Is not confined to the masses. Years ago a psychologist (even his name escapes me at the moment) conceived the Interesting Idea that certain physical stigmata' or ear marks served to distinguish the criminal from the normal law-abiding person. Prominent ears, beetle brow, eyes too close together or too far apart, asymmetry of features, re ceding chin, prognathism, these and other variations from the ideal or ordinary stamped the possessor as a "criminal type." But all that, along with many other concepts of quack psychology, has been discarded. Too many of our noblest citizens quali fied for ball and chain, and too many of our most notorious criminals were veritable saints by that criterion. We know now that ultraviolet light as well as diet is Important In the prevention of rickets. Children with rickets are much more likely to have adenoids and enlarged tonsils. If not properly treated they are likely to develop permanent deformities such as chicken breast, flat head, bow legs, spinal curvature, knock-knee, flat feet. Ultraviolet light will not pass through ordinary window glass. Glass that permits part of the ultraviolet rays or sunlight or skyshlne (day light) to enter costs more and hence Is not often Installed In the dwell ings of the poor. But It Is hardly fair to blame the great prevalence of rickets In slum districts to Inade quate windows In the houses. The more Important cause Is Inadequate playgrounds for the children In such districts. If they have to play on the street they are robbed of the bene fits of sunshine owing to the nar rowness of the streets and the height of the buildings on either tslde. shut ting out most of the direct rays. Lack of a decent place to play Is a factor of not only rickets but also defective physical development, and Communications A Hrlrk In the Roquet To the Editor: I enjoy reading your editorials a great deal, and for the general ar rangement of your paper I think you deserve the honors you have won you hold a responsible position in molding the minds of a people In a "Great Country." We think your greatest short-coming Is that which seems to be com mon to most newspapers the- world over! namely letting your fine Judg ment conaidcr which aide of the brend the butter Is on. In your article headed. "Reich will Ignore action of powers. Buys spokes man." it says of the German parler "WITH ONE ACCORD DENOUNCED GENEVA'S ACTION." In France the papers too would be In one accord Now how does It happen that dur ; n, proh I bitten you h ad " OU H YOUTH' best Interests at heart, and (!) H sW---' OREGON. SUNDAY, APRIL 21, 1933. BRREDS OPEN CRIME apart from the alleged "stigmata of degeneration" already mentioned, ac- cording to the reports of physicians In penal Institutions a remarkably! large share of the Inmates present physical defects which, In my opin ion, are a real cause of criminal con duct. Moreover, while a child la de veloping a physical defect because of neglect of his or her physical educa tion or training, his or her Interests may be easily drawn Into abnormal channels, whereas a proper Interest in the games or sports or other nor mal activities of boyhood or girlhood would make the young person that much more difficult to lead astray. Crowded, dirty streets, with the ever present risk of Injury by auto mobile traffic, the fear of being pinched by the cops and the utter lack of any order, system or equip ment for play, offer a pretty poor school for future citizens. It Is lawful, of course, for the wealthy to draw dividends from the Investments In the slums, but that sort of chicanery breeds open crime. qi ESTIONH AND ANSWERS Belter Then Smaller Just as you said, I first noticed a reduction in my waist and hip meas urements before the scales showed any loss In weight. But I have now reduced 18 pounds in less than five weeks. But what I thank you for most of all is my greatly Improved health and ambition. I feel years younger and the Boy Friends says . . . (Mrs. H. D. A.) Answer For goodness sake. now. girls, don't push and shove. If you want to know what the Boy Friend says, send 10 cents and stamped en velope bearing your address, for book let "Design for Dwindling." Follqw the design for a few weeks and then listen hard. Saltpeter Is there any truth In the rumor that bacon and other meats cured or salted with saltpeter are harmful? (Mrs. R. W.) Answer No. Saltpeter (niter, pot assium nitrate) Is used not as a pre servative but as Indirect coloring It retains and accentuates the red color of fresh meat, In the corner or pickled product. It Is harmless. There Is no ground for the legend which gullible folk associate with saltpeter. It has no appreciable ef fect on the body. Wax Ear Stoppers Can any harm come from sleeping with wax ear stoppers to shut out disturbing noise? (H. H.)
