At the moutjj of Rogue river after a three day trip along the Washington and Oregon coast from Victoria, B. C, via Port Angeles, Crescent Lake, Astoria, Gearhart, Agate Beach and our present resting place, the Sunset Inn. Great rejoicing as we rounded the curve and spun out on the broad and substantial concrete surface of the Governor Patterson bridge HOME at last! 3ut who would recognize the gay and frisky Rogue, at the end of its tumultuous journey to the seat All its character and gayety gone. JuBt like any other sluggish river, wide and flat and prosaic looking, not even a fishing boat in Right, and under the dull gray fog, not even a dash of color, the flat low sands looking out to sea, give almost a marsh-like appearance. , There should be a sign at each end of the Patterson bridge as follows: "Yes this is Rogue river, but you haven't seen it until you have taken a trip thirty miles up from here or 30 miles down from Crater Lake. Don't judge one of the most picturesque rivers and finest fishing streams in the world by this, seek the true Rogue FARTHER!" "We described the scenic beauties of the Roosevelt highway in this column several years ago, so there is little new to say concerning this more extended voyage. For beauty and majesty and what ia the word! VIGOR of scenery we don't believe there ia anything in the world that can surpass this trip from Victoria, B. C, down the coast to Gold Beach. There is also a charming variety particularly in the wild flower display, the different types of greenery, and the character of the lakes scat tered around. But on this particular jaunt a great deal had to be taken on faith for there was FOG, lots of it. In fact perhaps the most beautiful section of the highway, that from Agate Beach to Coos Bay, was entirely shrouded in fog, now and then one could catch a gliinise of the white surf on the sand far below, but not for long, and never anything more. The unusual panorama from the heights was gonel . . . In fact we left Victoria on the Port Angeles boat in a fog. That was where we met Ernie Ernie of L. A. and his "pa and ma". Ernie was eight years old but small for his age. There was nothing small about the cap he wore however. It com pletely covered one ear, and pushed down the other which stuck out, rather like a tiny awning, over his left cheek-bone. Ernie happened to occupy the car next to us in line, as we waited for the emigration authorities, so we soon were on speaking terms. You can't be within ear shot of Ernie very long and not be on speaking terms. He is a great little talker, particularly in the line of asking questions, and nothing gets him down. Not that, we tried, but Ernie's papa did. He lold Ernie to shut up and not, ask so many foolish questions. Ernie's retort, to that was his retort to everything, "WHY?" Why shouldn't Ernie ask questions, that, was all Pop had been doing since he arrived in Victoria. Ernie had a great ally in his Mommer who laughed aloud at this quick comeback and said amid nodding giggles it was "true too" Daddie had been asking questions ever since he arrived in this strange foreign land, questions, questions all the time. That made it, a little tough for "Daddie" two against one Daddie looked like an ex-prizefighter but took it all meek as a lamb. Wo thoiight'we had seen the last of Ernie when we. left the boat at Port Angeles, and whizzed along the "broad highway" for Crescent Lake where we enjoyed the beauties of that exceed ingly attractive mountain resort the waters almost as blue as Oater Lake and an appetizing lunch at the Rosemary Inn. However such was not. to be for there he was at the service Rtntion in Aberdeen when we drew up for gas and oil. Aberdeen was full of young boys in steel helmets, nnd with fixed bayonets and Ernie was asking papa, what all the soldiers were there for. Papa said "to prevent trouble", but Ernie thought brass hats and fixed bayonets were there to make trouble and want ed to stick around until the shooting started. "There isn't going to be any shooting" said papa, but as usual he was wrong. At least after we left we saw hy the newspapers, that there had been rioting, cracking of heads and the stale troops had charged with fixed bayonets, which was just the sort, of thing Ernie wanted to stay for. Ernie lost this engagement however. It was decided to move on at once. Mommer lost also for she wanted to go via Olynipia where they knew the roads were good, and thence to Portland, instead of taking Ihe cutoff to Megler and the ferry over to Astoria, where nothing was known about the roads or just when the ferries would run. During the rebuttal period of the family argument, we start ed nn our way having also decided to ferry over to Astoria and keep to the coast all the way down. Just outside of Aberdeen on a long hill, deeply gravelled and sprayed with fresh oil, with gravel flying all over the car like hail stones, the rear left tire blew out with a bang, and there we were on a hill, with nothing to park in but gravel, and a tire to change. We were just pulling out the tools from tho front seat, when a car plowed by, spraying gravel like a machine-gun tank, and there was Ernie in the front seat, waving one hand and grinning broadly, as Papa bending grimly over the wheel chugged on up the grade. That tire change cost us 30 minutes, a pair of pants, studded with fresh oil and gravel like a barnacle-infested pile at low tide! and what reserve we had in energy and good nature, which wasn't very great. We also gave up all hope of catching the 7:25 p. m. ferry when we plowed through 20 more miles of gravel road, which if it wasn't oozing in fresh oil was so dusty, there was no hope of passing any of the cars ahead. Some highways in the great state of Washington, and a main artery too, No. 101 1 As for Ernie, of course he had gone and was probably plying the ferry captain with questions at that very time. We were right on the first count. We did miss the 7:25 ferry, t hotiuli not by much of a margin, it was only about 100 yards off the Washington shore when we drew up, having left ten minutes late. There was one other car drawn up at the side of the ferry entrance, and there was Ernie Papa was still at the wheel, and remarked he had been forced TO DRIVE IN SECOND ALL THE WAY, "they were so nerv- ous" and missed the ferry by a fraction of a minute it was just leaving the dock as he moved up. . But the worst, was yet to come. An 8:25 ferry had been marked on the tourist guide, but this was for the week end only, the last, ferry had departed for that day and night, and there it was in mid-stream, and there we were, with no place to eat or sleep a hundred miles from nowhere. Ernie was asking "Topper", as he hung there on the ropes, why they didn't run ferries at night as well as day, which was what everyone else was asking. The ferry guard who was smiling and toothless, explained it didn't pay. However if we phoned over at once and chartered the ferry before the captain let out the crow, it would only cost us $15 if this were done after the crew bad gone home to supper, "it would cost ten dollars more." Popper didn't lok or tiilk like a .1. P. Morsan. but the way he jumped at this chance made the editorial hea.l swim and the family pnekethnok miss a beat. "1 am game" said he, "how about you 7" There was no need to take a ballot, the expressions of the assembled faces demonstrated that with Popper on Hie other side we represented a minority of one So we chartered the ferry boat and then at least one member of the party prayed for more hard luck motorists to show up. One did. A man from Miami, Florida who after a consultation with his two women companions for about 15 minutes, decided to go along also. So the $15 was split three ways which might have been worse, and we arrived at Astoria around 9 p. m. But not until Ernie got bis ice cream cone. It was about ten below zero on that dock in the cool ocean breezes, and Ernie had on half hose and short pants, but when Popper rein forced himself at the dock lunch counter with a cup of hot coffee, Ernie insisted he wanted nothing but an ice cream cone. Popper's resistance had been pretty well broken down, for hadn't he INSISTED upon this ill-starred trip, but he demurred at ice cream cones on such a night. "Kids always want ice cream cones" said Mommer, "you did when you was one." "On the fourth of July, perhaps" replied Popper, "but not on Christmas it's colder than Iceland he'll freeze, look at him, his teeth are chattering now." "But this is the 18th of JULY" said Ernie. Ernie got his ic cream cone and between nibbles wanted to know why the ferry went around in circles across the river instead of straight across. Popper had an answer to this. "Because everything up in this part of the world is screwy" said he. We know how he felt. He wanted to get back to L. A., by the shortest possible route where they aren't, and where Ernie could ask questions in one part of the eitv, and where he could not hear them, SOME WHERE ELSE! R. W. R.

AO W. 60th St., New York city, will send to any one who provides 2 cents bo cover postage, "pneumonia pa tients were kept on a porch or in an open room In the coldest wea ther. It Is quite generally agreed now that there Is no virtue In more coldness of sir. Even in th treatment of tu berculosis, tue tendency now 1s not to subject patients to extremely cold temperature (though it Apparently does them no harm) but to kep them cool and comfortable." This, It aeema to me. swings bark too far. The sound Idea which the tuberculosis association evidently wishes to Impress on the lay reader Is that good pure fresh air may be had without enduring discomfort. Tt Is like tAklng a bath. If you en Joy the feeling of cold water on your skin It la not only healthful but beneficial for you to take baths whether you need them or not. But I don't like the feel of water, hot or cold, on my nice warm skin and I eschew the wet wash except at rare Intervals. I venture to say that I am as clean, as sanitary. as healthy and as happy as any of you birds who bathe every Saturday night or even every night. The "Air and Sunshine" pamphlet gives some timely advice and cautions about air bathing and sun bathing, which ought to save a lot of amateurs painful snd serious burns from over doing the business of exposure to sunlight. Individuals unaccustomed to ex posure should, adhere strictly to a gradtiated schedule when the oppor tunity cornea to get a cost of tan In two weeks. Fifteen minutes is about the limit of exposure to the noonday sun the first day. The duretlon of ex pom i re may be Increased five min utes each day with safety. Or If the sun la taken In the forenoon or the afternoon rather than at meridian, an exposure of 20 minutes twice a day the first day, and Increase ten min utes for each exposure day by dsy. : Following such schedule brings the desired tanning without the discom fort and unslghtllnesa of sunburn, to say nothing of the dangers which at tend sunburn quite as tho It were an ordinary burn.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Can't Even Make Diagnosis Can't understand why you doctors who are doing such wonderful things nowadays can't find the cause and a real cure for rheumatism. (L E. R ) Answer We can't even diagnose such an ailment, but we're not ba1 on some of the ailments people call "rheumatism." Send ten cents coin and stamped addressed envelope for booklet "The His Called Rheuma tism." Refrigeration and Health Do you consider a refrigerator a health necessity In the home of a working man? Do you think ther Is sometime sickness in the family that might have been averted by a refrig erator? . . . (K. T. J.) Answer No. it Is a comfort but not a necessity. Some means of keeping cool such perishable food as milk, cream, meat, eggs, butter and other fats, is essential If there Is an Infant to be artificially fed or en invalid In the family. A good cellar is the Ideal cold storage for the home. Barefoot Last summer I started going Mrs foot about the house and working in the garden. A dozen of my women friends followed me, and we had a swell time, with nary a ringworm on the 130 or more toos . . , (Mrs. A ) Answer Fine. Little risk of con tracting ringworm (fungus, athlete's itch, foot Itch) If you don't walk barefoot at public swimming pool, gymnasium. In hotel, or where others trod barefoot. Going barefoot about your home or yard or garden Is a healthful habit. (Copyright 1935. John F. Dtlle Co.) Ed.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS f TOT aa these words are. written l X Everybody complaining, but no body really much put out. It never gets hot enough In pleas ant Southern Oregon to do any body much harm. HOT back Esst, also hotter than the hinge of the bad place. If one may Judge by the dispatches that come over the wire. Back there It DOES get hot enough to do harm, every hot wave being accompanied by reports oi numerous deaths due to the heated spell. These reports exaggerated. probably, as many of the deatns accredited to tha heat would have occurred anyway. But It does get frightfully hot in the Middle West, and It STAYS HOT all night. That's what drags down people's vitality. ONLY a few"' weks ago tt was cool much too cool for the season. And everybody was com -plaining then. If people couldn't complain about the weather this would be a dull world. PREMTER Laval,, of France, fac ing an unbalanced budget, tries to put economy measures Into ei fect. (An unbalanced budget, you know, means spending more than the gov ernment takes In. There are two ways to fix that one by taking In more tax money and the other by spending less. Since France la al ready pretty heavily taxed. Premier Laval Is trying to balance his bud get by spending less). Riots ensue, and gendarmes charge Into crowds assembled in Paris to protest against reduction of pensions and government pay checks. ECONOMY, you see, Is popular only In the abstract. It's a fine thing to talk about, but when econ omy hit us In the pocketbook we complain about It even more bit terly than we complain about the hot weather. That's why It's so hard for a gov ernment to stop spending after U once begins. GENDARMES, Incidentally, Is the French word for police.

They reported they could see the marks where the bee had stung him. This Is bad news to the republican big-wigs because the Idahcan has al ways been a one-man ball team. What Borah's friends guess is that he will play a game similar to Hoov er's. He does not want particularly the nomination for himself but would like to be a dominant power In -he selection of the nominee. The only way he can exercise that power is by rounding up some convention delc gatea for himself. Tn the absence of a republican pub licity man. some of the republicsn senators have been digging Into the past themselves. When they read the other day that Mr. Roosevelt had ordered hia relief men to start preparing to estimate for next year's relief preram. they dug up the testimony offered by the new dealer procurer. Admiral Peo ples, at the private hearings last win ter on the relief law. The presidential spokesman then said: "The whole bill anticipates that this will be the last needed stimula tion of business, will break the ack of the ripprr!nn. and that, with ft rise in the tide of employment, the people drawing the security wage on government projects will find em ployment in commercial lines. Thit Is the essence of the bill. One senator is ready to observe that, even before the relief program has begun to function. It is admitted to be a failure in this respect. A cameraman asked Senator Glass to pose shaking hands with a new deal advocate of the gold clause bill. The thlstle-tongued Virginian re sponded from the side of his mouth: "I won't pose with him and I won't shake hands with anyone so lacking In honor as to advocate this bill."
