Editorial Correspondence
SPRINGFIELD, 111., June 20. Time being a factor, we
chose the shortest motor route between Rockford and Spring
field. The rain still falling, progress was slow and the flatter,
less wooded and less interesting, the country became. About 20
miles south of Bloomington which we decided had not changed

Not having indulged in a eigaret since our departure, and
everything inside and out of the old Ford roadster being rain
soaked, this was a puzzling phenomenon. Characteristically, we
drove on. awaiting developments.
They were quickly forthcoming. Lazy clouds of white smoke
proceeded to emerge from the lower part of the windshield
and the dash board. Driving off the highway at the first farm
gate, we hopped out to survey the old boat, smoking like a
water-logged cheroot and smelling like a freshly branded
sheep. What could it be? With
the gas tank on this type of Ford is above the engine and just
in front of the windshield, from which the smoke continued
to pour, we opened the engine
bed the post of the R. F. D. box with the other, to facilitate a
rear retreat with the minimum disorder. Nothing happened.
The engine wires and grease soaked gadgets looked just as such
things usually look, neither smoke nor fire discernible, (which
probably should not have been surprising, as the car has shown
no disposition to halt its steady progress on all four cylinders).
A crawl in the long grass under the car revealed nothing of
value, other than that all June
tion of Illinois had been broken, and a suit ten years old is
not waterproof. So back in the car proceeded the involuntary
fireman, to find nothing beneath the dashboard that could be
opened or closed, but the smoke and the smell still continued.

Wc released the brake, turned the key, pressed on the but

the deluge leaving behind a trail of smoke like a miniature
locomotive.
As luck would have it, in less than a mile we hit a cross
roads and there under a clump of trees was a rural service sta
tion and a sign "Garage, gas and oil" was THAT a grand
and glorious feeling!
Up to the door we drove, with as much dignity as the cir
cumstances allowed, and informed the young man who emerged
in a yellow slicker that we would like to have him step in as
we stepped out, there appeared to be a, slight conflagration
within.
Much to our disgust, he refused the invitation. Running one
hand up the edge of the windshield, he drew it quickly away,
yanked up the hood, peered within, snapped n flash light, and
twirling a pair of pliers like a six gun desperado, made a few
quick twists and yanked out some wires.
"A short in the Windshield wiper," he explained, "it's 0. K.

every person now alive In this coun
try and of millions yet to be born.
THE social security" bill paases the
senate, with certain amendments,
and must now go again to the house
to secure agreement with these
amendments.
The house haa passed the social
security bill once, and will probably
get together with the senate on the
amendments.
The President will undoubtedly
sign It.
THE social security bill proposes to
provide something for people to
live on when they lose their Jobs and
when they get too old to work.
Can that be done?
YES, If everybody who can work
will work hard enough and produce
enough to share with those who can't
work.
WE MUST always-remember that
before wealth can be shared It
must first be created. You can't share
what doesn't exist.
And the only way to CREATE
wealth la to work.

THE Prealdent, In a surprise mes
sage to congress, recommends a
definite Increase In taxes on big In
comes this, of course, on the theory
that It Is easier for a big man to pay
big taxes than for a little man to pay
little taxes.
Is It?
Yes, If the big man HAS MORE
DRAINS and usee them In his busi
ness. IS IT a good Idea for EVERYBODY,
that la to soak the big man who
haa brains and uses them In his busi
ness? Yes, If It can be done without dis
couraging him and causing him to
QUIT using his brains In business.
THE Idea haa been spread by loose
mouthed demagogues that big
business Is crooked business.
Is that true?
I. Grossman, president of the Gross
man Clothing Company, of New York,
who visited this week end In Southern
Oregon, doesn't think so.
'Ninety per cent of business men
were already honest and decent," he
said to this writer, "and NRA taught
the chiseling ten per cent that It Is
more profitable to do business de
cently than to chisel."
AN INTERESTING statement. Isn't
It? If NRA did that and cer
tainly it exerted a lot of Influence
In that direction It was well worth
while.
TpHE Golden Rule, uttered nearly 30
centuries ago, also helped to
teach people that It la better to be i
decent than not to be. j
If EVERYBODY. In one way and j
another, can finally be brought to
realize that fundamental fact, this
will be a much better world to live In.

According to Randall over 30,000,

Formerly operation, Involving con
finement In hospital and at least a
month of convalescence, was the only
treatment available for hernia. Vari
cose surgeons claimed cures In from
80 per cent to 95 per cent of the cases
operated on. A few brass surgeons
of the front page era have loudly
claimed less than 1 per cent of re
currence, but Mark Twain reminded
us that there are lies, damned lies
and statistics. These brass surgeons
count 'em quick. Six months or a
year after the successrul operation
the victim sometimes finds his hernia
Is recurring the fibrous scar tissue
or adheslona produced by the opera
tion begins to absorb and the protru
sion occurs again. But It la too late
to record the failure In the statistics.
Sometimes the wearing of a suitable
truss or support and simple exercises
will bring about a natural cure of
hernia. The truss must be fitted
and worn under the supervision of
the physician. The exercises consist
mainly of leg raising as you He on
your back, supporting the hernia with
your fingers or hand while you do
the exerclsea regularly twice or three
times a day. Of course natural cure

hernias, which are perfectly support

must never be left off even for a
moment while you are on your feet.
Every man would have hernia If
nature did not succeed In most In
stances In closing the opening, down
through which the testis passes short
ly before birth, by adhesions and
fibrosis or a deposit of fibrous tissue
which obliterates the canal.
Various Investigators have found
that the injection of certain chemi- :
cals or drug solutions Into the tis
sues of the groin will produce an arti

Is precisely what the surgeon hopes
to accomplish by the operation and

lant treatment of hernia.
For many yeara injection treatment
of hernia was given almost exclu
sively by quacks and often without
even rudimentary knowledge of the
anatomy and pathology Involved.
Many disastrous consequences gave
the method a bad reputation.
But In the past ten years or so.
more and more reputable physicians
have Investigated the method, stud
ied and. experimented upon animals
with various solutions, and finally
adopted It in practice, with results
at least as satisfactory, from every
point of view, as are obtained with
the radical operation.
Industrial organizations are Inter
ested, of course. In a method which
promises to save the time of their
employes, for as a rule the ambulant
treatment does not detain the pa
tient from his regular work.
The radical surgeans, the old guards,
may as well resign themselves to It.
The injection treatment of hernia haa
arrived, and It Is going to effect a
saving to a large part of that S150,
000.000. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Baby Has Bull Montana Ear
My baby 2 months old has one ear
protruding. (M. G. G.)
Answer. Keep a skeleton hood or
cap on the baby to hold the protrud
ing ear back against the head for a
few weeks.
Bran
I would like to know if bran Is
harmful to the digestive tract. We
have heard that because of Its coarse
ness It may injure the llnllng of the
stomach. (S. E.)
Ans. For normal persons It Is rath
er beneficial. Bran contains vitamins
A. B and G. Persons with digestive
trouble should follow the advice of
their physicians about eating bran.
Although It has long been the cus
tom to assume that bran Is not di
gestible or nutritious for man, that
idea is certainly wrong, and It Is
probable that the healthy human di
gestive tract can take care of bran as
well as the digestive tract of a cow
or' horse can.
Interference
Sister expects baby in a month. Her
doctor who Is (not a regular physi
cian) wants to induce labor two weeks
before term. He says the last two
weeks a baby puts on fat. . . (Mrs.
E. D.)
Ans. I think that Is mischievous
interference, unless there Is some se
rious defect which would prevent nor
mal labor.

"Lea Mlsera-bles" the other rainy
night. For two hours I was gazing
ngaln across the acres of chimney
pots, wandering at twilight through
Pare Monceau. prowling through the
shadowy porticos of Place de Vosges,
dropping in for a croissant and glass
of milk at the dainty Kendall Leo
like lady's boulantjerie In rue des Pe
tit Champs and riding by post-chaise
along the Seine toward St. Cloud. So
real was the transition I expected to
see a shawled and mustached con
cierge when I looked out the window
toward a Waldorf doorway Instead of
the night hawk taxi driver.
I was thinking today of an assign
ment to Interview Jane Cowl when
the actress was most effulgent of the
bright stars. I have talked to presi
dents, one king and one ex-klng
since, but all collectively were not as
difficult to reach as Miss Cowl. Such
abracadabra looks silly from the side
lines but It's a great build-up. it so
Impressed me I always think of Miss
Cowl along with Bernhardt, Duse and
Marlowe, yet I know she Is in no wise
so talented, it's like Amon Carter's
story of the Texan who wired he
could send 100.000 full frog skins and
about two weeks later sent In one
lone skin by mail with the note: "I
was fooled by their hollerln'."
It interests me that the sons of Ed
die Collins. ba.eball star, and Martin
Qulgley, moving magazine editor,
have consecrated their lives to relig
ion. The Collins lad Is In an Episco
pal theological seminary and Qulg
ley's son at the proper age Is to study
for a Jesuit priesthood. The fathers
are men of the woild whose lives
have been many-faceted. That, in the
buzz-fuzz or rampant materialism,
they should want their sons to spread
the spiritual solace of the Scriptures
will hearten many who see faith
tumbling.

OLD AGE PENSION
To the Editor:
On account of the ff.ct that there
have been several old age pension
stories recently published In a local
paper, we feel that It la only fair to
the aged people of Jackson county,
who have been so grossly Imposed
upon by political propaganda and
otherwise during the last two or
three years, that the court make a
statement relative to old age pensions.
One article states definitely that
the sum will automatically be $30
Thls la a mistake, for the reason that
the amount available will depend
upon the number of applicants that
are eligible In the state. There will
be a total of federal, state and county
money of $4,000,000 and the amount
that can be allowed each person must
necessarily be affected by the total
amount available.
Another misleading article Indicates
that the age will be 65 years. The
law In the state of Oregon Is 70
years, and will so remain until chang
ed by the legislature.
Although the federal bill mentions
July 1, the counties are under the
jurisdiction of the state relief com
mittee and must await their Instruc
tions. It will, of course, be necessary
for anyone who thinks he Is eligible
to submit an application in the reg
ular manner, which application must
be carefully Investigated before ap
