MEMBER CI 0f Princess and Countess Hutton fTVEN Homer nods. Even Will -J on the wrong foot. We so regard his defense of Countess Kurt Haugwitz-Rcventlow, formerly Princess Barbara Hutton Mdivani, in his daily feature of yesterday. Instead of patting the five and ten heiress, on the back, as she takes her second titled husband, 24 hours after divorcing her first, and chiding her critics for not letting Barbara go her own sweet way, the patting in our humble judgment should have been elsewhere, and with the back of a firmly wielded hair brush. OP course what Barbara does with her money and her own lifn i Will Ropers states, her own business. But whv commend it, when there is nothing in it to commend. Far better sense, in our judgment, to say nothing about the course the richest young matron in the country is pursuing, or if comment appears necessary, then state the obvious truth, which is that the example she is setting is a bad one. For it is, and it is particularly bad at the present time. The spectacle of the Wool worth heiress, taking up with one broken down title and then another, scurrying hither and yon over the face of the earth, with only one aim in view, to have via lavish and ostentatious expenditures what she calls "good time", is neither edifying, commendable, nor as Mr. Rogers implies, harmless. TOR while a private citizen and entitled to the rights and A privileges of a private citizen, the "richest woman in the world can't escape a certain public and social responsibility, and can't be or should not be indifferent to the fact that what she does or does not do with her money, is bound to he taken as typical and representative of her class. This mad rush along the primrose path, with chartered trains, high-powered cars and bodyguards, changing husbands at the cross-roads, whoopee banquets at sea and royal suites on the land, a family jester to prevent boredom, and all the furbe lows and trappings of an "American Mahareena", would be in questionable taste at any time; but today, with most of the world in acute distress, with millions in want and more millions idle; it censes to he solely a mHtter of private manners, and unmistakably invades the realm of public MORALS. IT is our considered judgment that the publicity given the A Princess-Countess Hutton, and this publicity CAN'T be avoided, will do as much to arouse class hatred, increase social discontent and unrest, in this country, as all the table thumpings and demagogic. bleatings, that even our own Huey the Kingfish can muster. Moreover such examples will certainly be used, directly or indirectly, by Huey and his ilk, in pressing down on their vote catching slogans, and vitalizing their doctrine of division of wenlth, and increasing to the point of confiscation., Such examples of the waste and misuse of inherited riches, are all grist for the demagogue's mill. No, we have no desire to intrude upon the private affairs of "Miss Barbarn" Hutton or affairs are made, the subject of public and playful COMMEN DATION, we do feel, the other side, and what appears to us the more important side of the picture should be given. More Motor IF this keeps up the Jacksonville Highway will soon be known as Death Highway. There have been three serious motor accidents on this short stretch of paved road to the old county seat, in less than a week, one of them fatal. Just why there should be so many more accidents on this short and uncontested highway than there are on the main Pacific Highway is not clear, but we have an idea this absence of crowded traffic is a factor. The average motorist appears to feel he is off the main thoroughfare and out in the country when he hits the J'ville road, and the usual care need not bo exercised. Of course nothing could be further from the truth. While not a main artery the Jacksonville road is well travelled both night and day, and with its many side-roads and at least one sharp curve not properly hanked it is a highway that should be travelled with care at all times. IN our opinion the one chief cause of accidents on this road, as on many others is the foolhardy habit of trying to pass a car, when it is not KNOWN the highway is clear ahead. Tt is amazing how many supposedly good motorists persist ently do this. It is the most dangerous thing any motorist can do, particularly on a comparatively narrow highway like the one to Jacksonville. If this one practice could be effectively stopped, we believe it would do more to prevent tragedies on the highways than anything else. Before you pass any car, see that the road is absolutely clear ahead, not only clear of cars coming in the opposite direction, but clear of pedestrians or cyclists, or stock, lcar of every thing. And never try to pass a car, when this is NOT the condition. Let motorists in general adhere strictly to this rule, under all conditions ami at all times, and we have no doubt there would be a marked decline in motor fatalities at once. WMER CCC FIREMEN HALT FOREST BLAZE AFTER 3-HOUR FIGHT CAMP W1MKR. May 15 (SpU A forest fire Jumped the pun on Camp Wtmer here Tuesday, but did not catch Wimer's smoke chasers nap ping A slashing fire on Bill 1 vie place one mile north of Vxton mountain caught the wanderlust and made for a heavily wooded section of adjacent state forest land. When Foreman W. A. White arrived at the scene with a truckload of Wimer men. the fire covered six or seven acres. It took White and hii men three hours to brin it under con trol. Warning of the fire came from Siftklynu observers through Salem of fice. Due to the fact that the fire season did not open until Viaj 16, Rogers, now and then, gets off income and inheritance taxes anyone else. But when those Fatalities! the fire might easily have caused considerable damage to state forest, timber, but for the alert report lim of the Siskiyou man snd the prompt action on the part of Wimer's men It was the first foreat fire of the I 1P35 season for the Oregon boys who make up this Medford district camp. Many of the boys, new recn.tt. weie receiving their first experience in checkmating Oregon's unwanted, but persistent summer visitor. CCC men all over the state are stationed at stratenic points for a summer ot Intensive campaign against fire loss. Like the minute men of colonial history they will h ready to leave their work at short notice to run down and corner fires as fast aa they occur. Wimer will be on guard in an area of hilly land which is heavily wooded with valuable trees The area comprises four whole town ships.

Nothing we can do about It when we shake out the sheets and come upon such a subject. It l.i a problem for a real doctor. By a thorough medical examination the doctor may find out what alls the poor thing and prescribe the necessary treat ment. Soma thin sub. Jects are haggard because they are lean. What I mean is, they look and feel frail, weak and sad because they have defective nutrition. You dumb laymen will not quite apprehend what I mean when I say nutrition, but can't atop to explain that all over again every time we refer to It. Suffice that It well, old Noah Webster explains It neatly enough In the 1934 New Interna tional The sum of the processes by which an animal or plant absorbs or takes In and utilizes food substances. So It Isn't merely a matter of get ting the proper food, nor Is It often matter of having a hearty appe tite. For example one may be many pounds underweight In spite of the best food and a good appetite, when one's Internal secretion of Insulin happens to be deficient. Insulin treatment, which any phy sician may give but no layman can safely take on his own responsi bility, has added desirable poundage and still more desirable strength and vl tr. 11 ty In thousands of cases of simple physical fraylty. Don't let any one tell you that Insulin can be used only when the patient has dia betes, nor that It Is dangerous when administered by or under the super vision of the physician, nor that one can possibly become habituated to Insulin. Some atrociously thin per sons pick up weight steadily If they take, aay, half an ounce of yeast daily. This we learned before we knew anything about vitamins. Now we believe It Is the vitamin B in yeast that accounts for the effect. But yeast Is not a natural food for man.

The police are mnklng It Increasingly difficult for the ladles who live lightly to con tinue to reside In areas hitherto distinguished for their respectabil ity. The depres sion and many unoccupied flats made it possible for them to btir row In. As the result of the let-down se date tenants sxid denly heard strange men pass ing through their halls at unseemly hours and string orchestras arriving at all times of night. Staid workers found them selves In tire early morning elevators with tipsy fellows departing In silk hats. So the patrol wagons began to back up and carry away the merrymakers. The deradence was so sudden two upper West Side residential blocks, long known for their gentle domestic demeanor, bfcame so flaurantly baw dy as the old Red Light section In the 3 Os. In tli days of lesser regulations, men caught In the deml-montialne raids were Jockeyed to the rear en trance and told to vamoose. The woman paid. But today no one es capes. Everybody found in a sus pected apartment has to drve down town and say good morning to the Judge . The passing of Elinor Olyn's sis ter. Lady Duff -Gordon, recalls her vivid dressmaking establishment on the upper avenue known as "Lucille.' She was the first to display the man nlkln on a miniature stage and in. t reduce the male hakim with Jack knife bows .morning coats and ledger ruled trousers. Almost every summer revue had a skit savoring tha smart ness of "Lucllle's." But hpr greatest puff was achieved when she fashioned the trousseau for Alice Roosevelt Longwrtrth. Luclllr s, too. was the first I believe to exploit thst now highly special t7?d flunkey, the doorman in uni form. Bewilderiniily buttoned, bus kined and shakoed. he was a comhi natlon of a Whitehall guard and a front row chorus boy In "The choco late Soldier." I think U was Wlflle Collier who. In passing one day. walked up to the glittering figure and excliaiued :"Pnthee, Claudlul A bit of fluff!" and removed an tmag inary fleck from a strand of gold braid. So many things have happened to that snoot v stretch of avrnwe since the day of "Lucille" The Vanderhilt mansion, finest example of the French chateau, made way for a commercial blivk that is now half empty.

Moreover, I am convinced, by clin ical evidence, which, after alt, Is the best medical authority, that ft fair ration of all the vitamins is more effective in any case than Is a large dose of one or two vitamins. Wherever we find In the state of nu trition reason to believe there Is a partial lark of any particular vita min, It is logical to assume that there is also a shortage of other vitamins, since In nature vitamins do not occur separately but always In combinations of two or more. It is only an old medical custom to try to refine this vitamin therapy and prescribe so many "unita" ot this or that vitamin for specific "In dications." Vitamins are natural food accessories and It U rather absurd to make medicine of them. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Insulin for Underweight.

Billy Seeman In prohibition days discovered a one-tabled backyard res taurant that proved a mine for its owner, an Italian widow struggling among the slums to rear her brood. She had been cooking marvelous din ners for truck drivers at 35 cents a head. Seeman heard about the place and paid her a visit. He Induced her to boost her price to 2, install four extra tables and admit only those who had cards from him and their friends. Thus a carefully selected clientele and In a few years she was able to retxirn to Italy in compara tive wealth. The point Is, anyone who can serve a bang-up meal is "slttln" pritty."

He had a John Bull face with ruddy cheeks, side whiskers and all. wore silk stockings, silver buckled pumps and the chain of his calling around his neck was encrusted with Imitation Jewels.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS TIMELY headline: "Bell Hop Driven Insane by Chain Letter Craze." Nothing particularly unusual about that. The chain letter craze la Just another scheme to make people think they can get something for nothing, and a lot of poor unfortunates have been driven crazy by that hope. SOMETHING for nothing! What a lure that has held down through the ages. If people would work as hard and scheme as hard to get ahead In the world LEGITIMATELY as they do to get something for nothing, there would be far fewer failures. HpHE Idea Is widely spread in these days that it Is foolish to work, but If you're wise you won't take stock In any auch tommyrot. Here's a suggestion: Put down to day the names of 100 of your acquaintances. Then, ten years hence. check up on the list. You'll find that thoee who have worked hard and saved their money and Invested It wisely are FAR ahead of those who have spent their time trying to get something for nothing, or who have said to themselves that the world owes them a living and that they're going to collect It. 4-4 A LL the progress the world has made since it. began has come about because somebody worked hard or thought hard, and In spite of all the silly talk- to the contrary that fundamental fact hasn't changed. THIS writer believes that every man is entitled to all he can make HONESTLY during a lifetime of hard work, but Is compelled at times to doubt the wisdom of permitting hard working lndlvidtials to pass on great wealth to idle and silly descendants who had no share In the CREATION of that wealth. There la Barbara Hut ton's father, for example. He worked hard, helped to build up a great business that pro vided employment td thousapds of people, and made a lot of money for himself. Now Barbara, who didn't help make It. Is SPENDING It, and doing about as foolish a Job of it as could be imagined, IT Is hers, of course, because her father made It and gave it to her. and because It la hers It is to be presumed that she has the right to do with It as she pleases. But that doesn't raise one's opinion , of Barbara, nor does tt alter the fact that silly spending by idlers who have INHERITED great wealth that they did not help to create puts into the hands of radicals one of their most convincing arguments against the In stitution of capitalism. Communications To the Editor: Our Ia3t fle years experience alonjr economic lines should furnish ample proof of the fallibility of our govern ment; that it is, in fact no abler, wiser or efficient than the people who compos it. At the height of the depression we elect a President who unbluahingly declares his Itmorance of economics and his Inability to solve the prob lem. He surrounds himself with pro fessors who boost of their economic wisdom, but whose academical theo ries fall to materialize in actual prac tice. But fortunately we have nature to fall back on. and her processes arc slowly working us out of this de pression, the real cause of which waa the great nation wide land boom that caused values to soar beyond the ability of labor and capital to earn on. These values are now shrinking to a level where labor and capital can once more resume oport tlons on a profitable basis and busi ness is slowly reviving. It Is up to us however, to prevent a repetition of this disaster by re forming our land policy so as to make gambling in the resources of nature unprofitable. Thla can be done by collecting the annvial rent of land for expenses of government to the ex clusion of all other taxes. We now take In taxes a portion of the land rent. The selling price of land is the difference between whU Is now collected and what ta retain ed by the individual, capitalized If we take it all. there will be nothlnr. left to capitAlire and the problem wl'i be solved. Henry George understood the situ ation perfectly and had we follow.! his advice thla depiction would never have happened.

Governor Eccles is not supposed to be responsible to the White House for his remarks. He fell into the same heresy as Jones apparently because he lacked an efficient public rela tions counsel to warn him against the wiles of speaking out of turn. The effect Is being rectified. Short ly before his blunder, arrangements were made for the federal reservfi board to employ one of the most In telligent Washington newsmen aa n executive assistant Much Just and unjust criticism has been leveled against the new deal press agentry, but one overlooked angle of the situation appears to b that some of these officials should not be permits to go out alone. Th most closely guarded secret at relief headquarters is what wage rare la going to be paid. You may recall that the senate fought for weeks about it and then passed the buck. Since then the relief crowd thought several times It had the solution, but each time the solution was torn up. A leak on one of there early tentative decisions ha caused the outfit to be wary. The only thing certain now is that no flat wage scale will be paid for the nation as a whole. The proposed $50 a month average will mean nothing because most workers will get either more or less. Scales wlU oe adjusted generally so they will be slightly low er than prevailing wages in mcst lo calities. They will be adjusted also sa to different kinds of work. For in stance, a plumber in New York will get more than a ditch digger in a rural town. Furthermore, relief em plovment will be staggered so to conflict with wages paid by private industry. The chamber of commerce Is sup posed to be gaining more than th seasonal number of new members since it had the trouble with th White House.
