He's reaching out for everything

He wants the moon and twinkling

There Isn't anything on earth

Editorial Correspondence
SEATTLE, Washington, July 12. Arrived here at last,
nearly two days beliind schedule, and with plans of attending
the stale editorial meeting at Hood River knocked higher than
the top of Mt. Rainier which marvel of marvels we can see
from the hotel room. This is the second time in about 30 years
we have seen sunshine and a cloudless sky in Seattle. Everyone
says it's hot. But it seems comfortably warm, and delightful
after the hot house Middlewest.
We wonder if the Yellowstone Comet which ran five minutes
behind the North Coast Limited ever reached Livingston, Mon
tana. The last time we heard of it, the train was five or six
miles back of us, the other side of a bridge which had washed
out. Behind it was another washout. That bridge by the way
went out a few minutes after our train crossed it. When the
Comet 'came rumbling along, the engine's headlight picked out
the raging creek and the yawning cavity where the bridge used
to be, just m time.
So we owe something to Ladv Luck, for if that bridge had
decided to depart a few minutes
too bad. And if the engineer

barriers to better understanding
There were three young girls
of a trip around the lurclc, financed by the S. P. we believe,
through a voting contest and a chamber of commerce hookup.
One of the girls was from Eugene, Oregon, another from Pitts
burg, California, the third from Salinas, California. They had
never taken such a trip before one of thcin never had been
outside of the county where she
it. They had been to Agua Caliente, New Orleans, by boat to
New York, then to Washington,
after a day at Seattle and two
for their various homes and worse luck, start to work again
Yes they were working girls had to work, make their
own way in hie. Wo were much
incuts on their experiences, the
they had met. Each one kept a diary that is part of the con
tract and thev will be expected to make a report to certain
service clubs when they get home.
.....
What impressed us most' was the uniform good sense, sane,
sensible outlook of theso mere youngsters, who had been gadding
about the country lor three weeks. Just kids, lip-sticked,
permanent waved, and all that but wholesome, competent, each
one with a level head on her shoulders, and beneath all their
kidding and patter, with a serious purpose in life. As they
parked just across the aisle for three days, we became pretty
well acquainted and somehow they gave us a new slant on the
younger generation and a stronger faith than ever in the sta
bility, and essential what is the term? RltillTNKSS of this
country. They appeared a pretty good cross section of the
American average. It's a good average.
Our arrival was marked by the fleet coining in a part of it.
From our hotel window high on a hill, we saw a battleship steam
slowly in and cunic to anchor. A few minutes later a large,
graceful cruiser followed and took its station nearby. An hour
or two later when we again looked out over the harbor, there
were ten warships at anchor, all battle cruisers but the first one.
Twenty-five or thirty million dollars invested there. In another
two weeks the entire fleet will bo here and great will be the
rejoicing and jollification in Seattle. For "Fleet week" not
only means a round of gay festivities, but it means several hun
dred thousand dollars in the pockets of Seattle merchants. Say
what you like about world peace or politics, to the average
American there is no substitute for cash money tinkling in the
till, as the overture to prosperity's return.
The National Association of Insurance commissioners is hold
ing a convention here. One learns the insurance business is
good, and the delegates and their wives and children, all decked
out in summer duds, and plastered with purple badges, eating,
dancing, ami doing the movies, indicates it. A couple of Seattle
acquaintances echo the refrain we have heard all across the
country from coast to coast and back again "Yes business is
better much better if the administration will only quit fooling
and fussing and let things alone everything will be just dandy,
etc., etc., etc." This is certainly what American BUSINESS is
saying and thinking we offer it to Jim Farley for what it's
worth. R. W. R.

Some of President Roosevelt's po

lately Into the summer retirement
of Father Coughlln from the politi
cal arena. They wonder whether It
la Just for the summer, or how
long.
It Is customary for the radio priest
to stop broadcast Ing during the
summer months. No suspicions were
aroused by that. But you may recall
that he started last spring on
campaign to speak at mass meetings
In the 13 states with the largest
votes. Only four such meetings were
held. A fifth Is planned at Chicago,
where Father Coughlln la suing the

off.
Hta Washington office says there
are to be no further meetings: that
all Coughltn-s plans are tentative:
that he has not even any tentative
plana which would be of interest
to the public during the summer.
From a bet t er sou re comes a n
authoritative hint that Coughlln 's
plans for the fall (outside the radio
field) are highly Indefinite.

It will do comparatively little harm,
to be eliminated later when the pa
tient Is In better condition.
A low on lei urn diet la more valuable
In cases where there Is not very seri
ous present harm from the lead.
Which mode of treatment may be
the better In the case of this man I
can't guess. Only his physician Is In
a position to decide that.
A low calcium diet Includes meat,
potato, tomatoes, rice, canned corn,
raw or baked apple or applesauce,
liver, banana, butter, bread made
without milk, soda biscuit, crackers,
supar, pepper, salt, tea or coffee with
out milk or cream. No milk, cheese,
eggs, fresh green vegetables or fruits
other than apple or banana. No nuts,
no peanuts. This low calcium diet
favors rapid excretion or elimination
of lead from the body. It Is not ade
quate treatment, only an aid. The
physician must prescribe the proper
medicament to help the body excrete
the lead.

Physicians say my husband has hy

The Odor of Anger
I have a keen sense of smell. I
have often noticed the peculiar body
odor of a person following anger,
which Is altogether different from
the ordinary body odor. (Mrs. L. H.)
Ans. I believe you are right. Per
haps other readers can offer their Im

the odor of love. etc.
Which vitamin?
Can you tell me which vitamin Is
particularly beneficial for a person
who Is hypersensitive to foreign pro
teins? (Mrs. W. M.)
Ans. I don't know, unless It may
be vitamin B. t believe a kind of

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
SIR HUBERT SAMUEL, liberal op
position leader In the British
house of commons, makes a speeoti In
which he delivers this warning to
Italy:
"It the primitive troops of Ethio
pia ere mown down by Itallsjj ma
chine guns, there will be a spontane
ous outburst of Indignation and re
sentment among the British people."
TpO this the directing intelligence
back of Italy's apparent deter
mination to go to war with Ethiopia
would probably reply. If it chose to
speak with entire frankness: J
"Perhaps, but what harm would
that do to Italy?"
IT'S all right to deliver warnings In
speeches about the Indignation
and resentment of the British people,
but the thing that would STOP
ITALY la a terse official warning
worded something like this:
"If Italy goes to war with Ethiopia,
the British fleet will blockade Italy."
BIG talk sounds fine, but It takes
ACTION to stop wars. The ex
perience of generations confirms that
fact.
IT could be added, with equal
truth, that if OUR COUNTRY said
to Italy: "If you go to war with Ethi
opia we will go to war with you,"
there would be no Italian-Ethiopian
war.
But, so far, at least, we-ve had the
good sense to mind our own business
and do no big talking.
Let's hope we keep on that way.

Ing for six hours, fiuua Majvai
et Waley guilty of participating In
the kidnaping of little George Weyer
haeuser. This writer, speaking aa one Indi
vidual, would like to shake the mem
bers of that Jury by the hand. Mar
garet Waley's defense was based whol
ly upon appeal to sentiment, and it's
high time for the public generally to
take the position that major crimes,
such as ktdnaplngs, are not sentimen

HERE'S an Interesting dispatch
from New York:
Norman Thomas, national leider
of the Socialist party, will lead a
sound-truck caravan through Louisi
ana In October In a campaign against
what he calls 'the demogoguery of
Huey Long's share-.the-wealbh pro
gram'." The tour has been formally ap
proved by the national executive
committee of the Socialist party.
TIME was when Socialists were re
garded as wild-eyed radicals to
be opposed by every straight-thinking
person of conservative lean'ngs.
Now the political world has traveled
so far that the Socialist party has be
come a conservative Influence oppos
ing the radicalism of new dema
gogues of the Huey Long type.
HERE la a question you may ask
yourself: "Just WHAT will be
regarded as radicalism two or three
generations hence?"
A final closing thought:
When Norman Thomas and
his sound-truck caravan get down
Into Louisiana, they can put their
fingers on the absurdity of Huey's
"share-the-wealth" program with this
statement: "You can't share what
isn't produced."
That's getting the issue down about
as close to the grass roots as it can
be got.

RICHARDSON SPRINGS, Calif .
July 14. (Spl.) I promised Medford
friends to tell something about the
history of Richardson Springs, but I
don't want the readers of the Mall
Tribune to get the impression that
I am here as a paid advertising rep
resentative of the springs, but so long
as I am on the ground I thought the
readers might be interested in know
ing about conditions here and what
it is asserted the baths and waters
will do for a person suffering from
such diseases ar rheumatism, sciatica,
lumbago, gastritis, acidosis, colitis,
gout, constipation, infections of liver,
gall bladder, kidneys, alcoholism,
obesity, nervous disorders and certain
skin eruptions, etc. I know people 1m
Medford who are chronic sufferers
from some of these diseases and they
might appreciate and take advantage
of the knowledge that here they might
be cured or at least receive long re
lief. Richardson Springs Is 12 miles cast
of Chico. with a good macadam road
leading to the hotel which is located
upon a 5000-acre tract of land that
iirta uvea under the ownership of the
Richardson family since 1869. The
hotel, about 100 cottages, bath house,
swimming pool. Ice plant, water and
light systems and dairy plant are all
clustered In a canyon about one
fourth of a mile in width, surround
ed by steep and lofty hills, covered
with a growth of oak trees reaching
to the summit, making the location
picturesque and pleasing to the eye.
The view and arrangement of the
grounds upon which the hotel faces
ia decidedly attractive.
After the Richardson family ac
quired this land they commonc-d an
Investigation of the mineral propir
tlea of the various springs. George
Browning, an outstanding ch-milst.
was employed to do the research
work, and his findings and discover
ies have been so satisfactory to the
Richardsons that he Is still in their
employ and is director of the research
laboratory.
The first hotel built was a wooden
structure and burned to the ground
In 1898. As soon as construction cjviM
be completed It was replaced by th
present handsome eand commodious
150-room fireproof structure xhich
has been ample to date, but the con
tinued growth of business Indicates
that the day is not distant when an
addition must be built. At the time
the new hotel was built its dining
room was the largest, without sup
porting columns, between Los Ange
les and Portland.
Beside the fine mineral springs
there la a complete system of fresh
spring water which supplies eery
cottage on the grounds. The open air
swimming pool Is supplied from th
fresh water spring.
The hotei company owns a farm
near Chico where they raise their own
vegetables, poultry, livestock and
dairy herd. They operate their own
packing house, dairy and manufac

In the hotel there Is . refreshment
and news stand, postoffice, telephone
station, grocery store, barber shop
and beauty parlor. In fact patrons of
the hotel and cottages can cure
