Tbere is little composure and repose. art of living if we weren't in such TET there is another side to saving of time. Time is life. The alloted span of human life is limited. Therefore in the last analysis speed means the extension of life, in the sense of crowding more things into it. It is this truth that undoubtedly accounts for the modern munia for speed speed speed that we reason it out, for speed is not the .product of reason. But we, as a people, respond to tbe speed impulse, because, tho extension of life is bound up with its preservation, which is a basic instinct. So whether we like it or not, lived at a steadily increasing tempo, faster and faster and faster. ' ALL of which is rather an elaborate introduction to what will hA o-flnflrflllv frer)tprl sb littlft more than rniitinn item in the daily news. Yesterday the Pan-American round trip from Alameda to Honolulu, in a flying time of approximately 38 hours. Going or coming there wasn't the slightest hitch in the 'aerial performance. To the skipper and the crew it was all in the day's ing out official instructions. By mid-July the company been established at Midway, Wake and Guam, for regular air service from California to Manila via the Hawaiian Islands. Shortly thereafter there will be an aerial tookup from Manila over Machuokuo and Siberia to Moscow and Berlin j thence by air to South America, and up the coast to-New York. Not so long ago "Around fantastio dream of Jules Verne's the world in eight days by air, years, no one questions, such a schedule will be regarded as almost pedestrian. DUT the importance of this Clipper trip does not lie in the - time made, but in the fact it was the preliminary try out, for the establishment of a PERMANENT passenger schedule. Such a schedule will not so much reduce the former best time to Honolulu, as annihilate it. It now takes between four and five days by passenger boat to make regularly be made in 17 hours. And people will make it! save it and you get the business. It may be dangerous, it may be uncomfortable, it may be more expensive, but if it knocks Old Father Time for a row of ten pins, the human race will "take it," and like it. It is the heart beat of life, ing time. It is law of life and Those who don't like it and long for a more leisurely and more contemplative existence, may wail and moan as they wish. It will do no good. The dance of lifo goes on I The Shasta Cascade Embroglio AUR recent editorial deploring the decline of the scenic Shasta route, and urging its revival through S. P. publicity and enterprise, has met with vigorous protests from the news papers of Klamath Falls and Bend. The claim that the train trip over the Siskiyous, through the Shasta and Cow Creek canyons, and over the Umpqua Divide has it over the Natron plateau of bunch grass and jack pine, "like a tent," was particularly resented. Well that's only to be expected. It's a matter of taste what one regards as picturesque and attractive and what one doesn't It is also a matter of local pride. However we have been particularly interested in the reaction from Eugene. Eugene being on both the Shasta and Cascade routes, with no axe to grind for either, is certainly in a position to jndge the merits of the controversy, fairly and impartially. And its conclusion is our old friend the S. P. should do as the Mail Tribune suggests. We quote: "The S. P. hss It coming certainly. All schedules ought to be revised so that whatever the routing, travellers will see Oregon by daylight. Let 'em hike through California by night." And the Grnuts Pass Courier proposes this sensible com promise : "Why not compromise the problem this wav: Let the 8. P. run Its speed trains over the Csscsde route through the night. ' and Ite daylight trolna through the valleys of the Rogue and the Umpqua, by day, where there are sights to see and people to serve."

Degeneration In medical lingo has no particular ref erence to moral or mental call tore. It refers to the physical body. Degeneration la a retrogressive pa thological change in cells and US' suea tn conse quence of which the unction Is Impaired or weakened, and 11 the change is not stopped or reversed function la finally lost. For Instance, "fatty degeneration" of the heart is a fairly familiar term. It means that muscle cells In the heart wall become gradually convert ed Into fat: It does NOT mean merely accumulation of excess fat around the heart. Then doctors recognize hyaline degeneration, amyloid de generation, calcerous degeneration, senile degeneration and what have you. Where a degenerative process Is the result of some disease or some form of Intoxication or poisoning whose source, nature or cause we do not know, obvlotfsly there Is little likeli hood that we can stop It, and less that we can reverse the process and bring about regeneration and restor ation of function. But If we find the cause of de generation and know how to correct or remove It, then we may be able to stop the process and to reverse It. Suppose the optic nerve, or the heart muscle, or the blood vessels In the legs be degenerated from tobacco poisoning. Would you expect to stop trie process of years' duration and reverse It by merely stopping th posonlng for a month? You'd be disappointed. But if you had more sense and stopped the poisoning for a year, then you might begin to see some regeneration, some return of function, some Improvement In health. People who are overweight suffer from degeneration. Unfortunately It sometimes includes their self-respect their concern about physical health and efficiency, capacity to en Joy life and attain longevity. And so they become resigned to their fate. content to smother in their own adi NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre NEW YORK. April 24 Helen Mor gan, returning to the familiar piano top In a cafe.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS , Shaking Palsy My grandmother had shaking palsy for many years, and from what she says I think her father must have had the same thing. My own par ents sre about fifty-eight and both are In good health. Is shaking palsy heritable? (S. W. L.) Answer. No. The exact cause Is not known. All I know is just what I read in the medical Journals and a few books.

Covering an en tire .square, it has an enormous in side court with electric lighted promenades, rising and falling foun tains, comfortable benches, up-to-date playgrounds and ground floor clusters of pert shops. I went there to see a friend whose comfortable fortune shrunk. In this environment he has an entirely new circle o: friends. If the let-down worried, he certainly didn't show it. "All of us," he philosophized, "are headed for a change. Mine came a little earlier. I find it of little consequence. So will others. I sleep for the first time In 6 years." Sam H.

But you will hear about It eventually, for this Is the line alon which the treasury brain men are thinking. It may Bound, off-hand, like a con fusing Idea, but It Is really well thought out. The great bulk of the population (and the voters) are in classes underneath $5,000. It would cost the treasury little to grant many of them a tax reduction before .the next election. The little fellows, now exempt, would be tapped for only a few cents apiece. To make It mors popular, the (5,000 and up class could be soaked again.
