They figure, If It la a battle at all, It la a downhill battle. . A sheriff haa been Indicted for "voluntarily and negligently permit ting prisoners to escape."

Phone 1013-1. 4 Dumb u A LABAMA" Pitts, 24 years old, wag released yesterday from Sing Sing after serving a short term for robbery.' Alabama was the star athlete at the Big House, generally regarded as the greatest athlete ever martieulated from this famous institution. Thanks to the good services of Warden I.awes, and Johhny Evcrs of the Albany (N. Y.) baseball team, "Alabama" was given a place on the team, and left at once to take up his new duties. But the President of the Minor League Association, informed of the transaction, put his foot down. He said putting an ex convict on the Albany team would be bad morals and bad business. OAD for whomt Certainly not for Alabama, who is only a kid, and has all his life before him. This is his perfect chance to go straight and show that his moral lessons have been learned. Even on a baseball team, he would be a marked man and placed constantly on his mettle. The slightest slip from the straight and narrow would place him on the spot. It's a ton to one wager the lad would make good. To deny him this chance, would throw him back to the bread line, and sooner or later probably sooner, to the under world and a life of crime. So much for the young man. WOULD such action really injure the Minor League, or be smirch the good name of professional baseball! Would it tend to condone crime, or serve as a bad example for Amer ican youth f We seriously doubt it. For the hardened and confirmed criminal there may be little hope. But for the young criminal, for a lad like Alabama who started off on the wrong foot, in his teens there is always hope. In giving such a kid his CHANCE, we believe the Minor League would have the hearty endorsement of the sporting world, and of public opinion as a whole. Organized baseball would be doing no more than indus try has done, many times in the past, and should continue to do, more and more in the future. For one of the most serious elements in the crime problem, is the cold shoulder turned to the ex-convict, the difficulty the ex-convict, who has learned his lesson, and wishes to go straight, has in getting a new start. Indifference to his fate, lack of sympathy and understanding, ulates it. In the last analysis, it and merely makes big criminals Johnny Evers, one of the lived, and a fine sportsman, has appealed from the decision of tbe President. In the interest of good sportsmanship and an enlightened and constructive attitude toward crime, we hope that Johnny wins. That Coast Railroad GRANTS PASS in greatly interested in the new railroad, projected from Tort Orford, down the coast, up Rogue River, connecting with the S. P. at Iceland. , So is Medford. So is all Southern Oregon. For half a century, railroads from this part of the state, to the coast have been constructed on paper. But aside from the short spur line, from Grants Pass, southwest, which our neighboring city still owns, nothing has been done. With the railroad situation what it is in this country at the present time, it is difficult to sec how anything CAN be done. But those who know far more about this project and the men behind it than we do, are confident that in spite of the skeptics and the chronic crepe-hangers, this railroad is going through. Well, we hope they are right. And certainly the people of Medford and Southern Oregon would do anything in their power, to push such a worthy enterprise along. As a clear exposition of what such a railroad would mean to this part of the state, and particularly to the fruit growers, and also as an interesting sidelight upon the type of men who are behind this project the following editorial from the Grants Pass Courier is reprinted: A new 1100,000 cold storage plant, to be completed by August 1, wu under construction In Medford today, according to a news story filed on the Associated Press wire by the neighboring city. The plsnt will be constructed of steel and concrete, will be three stories high, and will have a capacity of 335.000 boxes of pears, according to the Medford report. Such enterprises as this, which will be only one of the big plants required by the pear Industry of southern Oregon, glre outward Indication of the magnitude of the Rogue River Valley's fruit In dustry carried on year after year under the handicap of higher freight rates to consuming centers than any other similar area. The industry continues to go forward In spite of this handicap only because the Rogue River Valley produces an exceptional quality fruit, which commands high enough market price to permit It to compete with other fruits produced In low freight rate produc tion areas. What the effect upon our valley will be If and when our great freight rate disadvantage Is suddenly wiped out anyone Is free to Imagine for himself. Suppose. In addition to thit. the Rogue valley fruit was also at the same time to arrive at market In better, fresher condition, and you will see what It would mean If a rsll line were built through to the cosst where the Rogue fruit could be placed In refrigerator ships with their Improved temperature control for the trip to the Atlantic seaboard. We mention these things today so people will not forget what such a railroad would do tor them, merely because the Gold Coast Railroad company Is planning to build from Leland to Port Orford and the plan seems to bare prospects of success. For the sake of the record, we present here the names of the Individuals heading the Port Orford dock and rail projects, snd gtre some of the Information they have supplied about themselves. They are: Gilbert E. Gable, heading the groups, of a Pennsylvania anthra cite coal family, and Mrs. Gable, whose family owns the Kentucky and Tennessee Railway and coal operations In Kentucky. Joseph A. Vandegrlft, chief engineer, who has built some 30 railroads Including several of the trolley systems In Philadelphia city, and the railroad from Lima, Peru, which crosses the Andes at 16.000 feet elevation, builder of the outer harbor at Lima, devel oper of a coal distillation process In Europe, and a mining engineer.

Dr. Henry 1. Eisner, profes sor of medicine in Syracuse Uni versity, writing In 1916 ("Pr'jg n o s 1 s". Mono graphic Medi cine, Appleton's) said that among 5,708 patients seen In private practice In seven years there had been 101 cases of angina pectoris. Query (which I can't answer): Is cardiovascular dls ease so much more frequent now or has diagnosis Improved nearly 100 per cent? All vital statistics would give the impression that cardiovascular degeneration Is on the Increase, but mere figures so often He, Cardiovascular degeneration or dis ease (CVD) covers a good deal of pathology, it accounts for 25- of all deaths after the fortieth year of age. It Includes arteriosclerosis, roughen ing of aortic valve or ascending aona (aortitis f, narrowing or contraction of the valve (aortic stenosis), leakage of the valve. ( aortic Insufficiency ) , angina pectoris, myocarditis (slow heart muscle failure, fatty degenera tion), chronic intestinal nephritis fBrlght's dlscnse) with hyperetenslon (high blood pressure), cerebral hem orrhage (apoplexy, shock or stroke of paralysis, cerebral thombosla (clot ting of blood In vessel In brain.) The apparent Increase of CVD in tho past fifty years or more Is viewed with apprehension by clinicians, sta tisticians and sanatologlsts. I don't rnte any of these spallations, but as a health column conductor I do con siderable browsing around and lis tening In and occasionally I have an Idea, no matter whether It Is naturally born or adopted. I take little stock In the common conceit that premature physical breakdown or wearing out is due to the high tension and killing pace of American life. The high ten sion Is mainly overeating and drink ing and smoking, and the killing pace Is fifty to eighty miles per hour, and that's all I can see In It. This conceit belongs In the category with the banal fancy that large busi ness responsibilities or domestic cares bring on "nervous exhaustion" or "nervous breakdown" meaning in sanity. Polite lies to print In the pa per or to give out to nosy neighbors, but they will scarcely do in the con stilting room unless It Is your pur pose to deceive the doctor or his pur pone to string you along.

Maybe you'll get a hint or two for a more hygienic life out of the list of common causes of hyper tension we'll recite presently.

Among men 5 of the cases of arteriosclerosis occur In the third decade, 15 In the fourth, 30 In the fifth and 50 In the sixth dec ade or later. Among women, less than 1 of the cases occur In the 4th decade, 6 In the fifth and 35 after the age of 60. These statistics were compiled forty years ago. Perhaps the Increase In smoking and drinking among young women of late years will spoil this record.

It may look all right but Is less firm In texture than the veal of a calf lx weeks old. and therefore Is not rec ommended from a dietary standpoint. (A. D.. Student Dietitian). Answer Thank you, but the meat Is as wholesome as older veal, and the law Is Just an old custom. (Copyright 1935. John P. Dllle Co.) Ed.

VOLNEY DAVIS, a member of wnat Is left of the Barker-Karpls gang, Is captured In Chicago on Saturday, which seems to let him out of the Weyerhaeuser kidnaping. The talk now la that the Tacoma kidnaping was the work of a local Northwest gang. The chances are, if these G-men are as smart as they're supposed to be, they aren't giving out much ol what they know, or suspect, about the kidnapers. Any hunter will tell you that the more he knows about the deer and the less the deer know about him the better his chances are ot bringing home a buck. THE lateat elan is" that the kid napers, If and when they are captured, will be tried In the state courts of Washington, rather than in the federal courts. The federal kidnaping law. It is said, contains a clause providing that when kidnapers release their victims unhurt they can receive no more than life Imprisonment. The Washington law, however, provides the death penalty for first degree kidnaping. SPEAKINO of death, a dispatch from Rome asserts that 30 Ital ian subjects were killed in the latest African frontier battle with Abys slnlans. Not a very Important story, under ordinary circumstances, but It MAY be Important if Italy is looking for an excuse for going to war wltn Ethiopia. THE liner Normandle, French-built and at the moment the biggest passenger ship on earth, crossea the Atlantic faster than a passenger liner ever crossed It before, averaging 39.68 knot per hour for the voyage. A knot Is a nautical mile and is the equivalent of 6080 feet, or about one and one-sixth land miles, whicn means that in terms of land speed, the Normandie averaged a little under 35 miles an hour for the voyage. That Isn't very fast In terms oi modern speed. WITH airpla"nesaveraging from 150 to 200 miles an hour over long distances, the boats can't talK effectively much longer about their speed, and the time Is probably com ing when a four-day boat or a five day boat will have no particular appeal for the traveler over a seven day or eight-day boat. Those who want speed, in the not far distant future, will take the planes, while those who want com fort and a certain amount of leisure while crossing the seas will aticK to the ships. Communications Either Cruel or Useless. To the Editor: In view of the first paragraph In the "Smudge Pot" Column of your paper June 4th. I desire to supple ment my letter of June 3rd in re: kidnaping. I have no controversy with your editorial of the same vdate which covers the problematical results so fairly and thoroughly as to leave nothing to be said. Appropriations for the Justice de partment and most of the rest ol our law enforcement agencies comes under the head of for detection and prosecution of crime. In my opinion the scope of such operations should be enlarged to take in prevention of crime. In the case of an attempted Jail delivery on the part of good but otherwise frenzied citizens, or a lynching, appropriate prevention measures before overt sets are com mitted may save a community more heart aches, expense, and turmoil than a dozen kldnaptngs. The technique of modern kidnap ing embraces, at least, three some what prolonged stages in its con summation. First the "snatch." then the demands, thereafter the pay ment. Part of the negotiations In the case In question, If the press is cor rect, were negotiated through the columns of a Seattle newspaper. Assuming the proposed law to have been effective, and the authorities as having stepped tn and said to the parents: "We are not going to per mit you to become an accessory after the tact to this crime. We are going to completely cover you against that event, and so notify the criminals." Just how could the parents be in any way responsible for the fate of that child? Mr. Perry deplores the cruelty oi some laws, particularly the proposed one. All laws with teeth are cruel to somebody, without teeth they are useless to everybody. PR ED KELLY. Medford. June 6th.

To the Editor: A Russian was asked the follow ing questions, and he answered thus: Next Who. me? Born? Yes. sir. Where? Russia. What part? All of me. Why did you leave Russia? I couldn't bring it with me. Where were your forefathers born? I only got one father. Your business? Rot ten. Where Is Washington? He 1 dead. I mean the Capital of the United States? They loaned it all to Europe. Now do you promise to support the Constitution? Me? How can I, I've got a wife and six chil dren to support. I don't know the author, or where It came from; I picked up a little slip of paper and It had this on it. Perhaps I am Ignorant In some things; I admit that I am. But this game of the renewal of driver's license cards seems to me to be a sort of a money racket scheme. I can't see what It la for. This thing of having to do that every two years? What improvement anyway does It make? It seems like spending a dollar for nothing. And a dollar Is a lot of money for some of us. C. H. ERICS. Medford, June 6th. (Continued from Page One.) vertlsed widely because the adminis tration la still phenagltng, trying to straighten It out. There does not seem to be much hope. What has happened Is that two Democratic congressmen are quietly but determinedly resisting the new deal pressure on the holding company bill and rail legislation. One la Pet tingill, from South Bend. Ind., and the other Huddleston. from Birming ham. Ala. The new deal crowd has talked to them, pleaded with them, and Is say ing all manner of sharp things about them, off the record, all to no ef fect. They have effectively smoth ered the two bills. That Is what is behind the new deal agitation you may have noticed lately, favoring a change in the sen iority method of selecting congres sional committees. Even Vice-Presi dent Garner has publicly urged some thing like that. The agitation prob ably will continue, but nothing will be done about It. The new dealers cannot ride over Messrs. Pettlnglll and Huddleston, but are moving to get around them. That Is why the holding company bill la being pressed to passage by the senate first. After passage there. It will go to the house, where neat ; scheme has been devised to keep It out of the hands of the two bad boys. It will eventually be approved by both houses in substantially the shape in which the new deal wants it. The transportation bill, however, may be modified considerably as a result of the existing situation. Confidential advices to the state department Indicate that Japan is about to move again in China. Japanese military representatives are now visiting the princes of inner Mongolia. Troops and equipment ore concentrated near the Mongolian bor der. If the princes are good, the troops may not see much action, but. if they resist, you will soon be read ing of another Japanese victory'. Object of the new Japanese move is to acquire control of the second most Important caravan route be tween Russia and North China. Ja pan already controls most ot the first one.
