We have been going without a hat thla Summer. The chief benefit of going hatless Is. of course, that It glvea the aun access to tho scalp, heating the skull and causing 11 to expand. Thla glvea the brain more room, naturally, and etlmulatca the mental processes. It Is a recognized fact that no really great poem has ever been written by a man with a hat on. It It equally true that some of our most poputsr authora are at their best when suffering from a slight sun stroke: at least, it aeems so. lllwever, to a mercenary and vin dictive nature like oura, the greatest blcsKlng of going without a hst Is the rare opportunity It provides for crowing over the hat-checking ban ditti. It Is really worth walking miles In a broiling sun Just to see that look that cornea over them when they swoop down and find there Is m hat to check. One disadvantage of going with out a hat Is that you are always for. getting you haven't a hat on. Vou keep groping about your head at odd momenta, wondering what naa happened. Apparently It takes yeara to get the feel of going without a hat. We may give up going without a hat. Maybe things will get too mixed up. Maybe the sun will overstlmu late our brain. Maybe It lias already (N. Y. American.) SPECIAL SESSION Li SALEM, Aur. 1. (AP) Orenon'a application for ft 4ft per cent (ederal grant for construction of a new $3. 500.000 state capltol was officially alined 1st yenterday by Governor Martin and if-nt to C. C. Hockley, tate PWA Rdmlnlntralor. After being approved by Hockley, the application which waa prepared r,y the nate planninK board nnd by Dn J. Fry. wcretary of the board of control. Ml be relajrd to Harold L Icke. PWA admlnlMrator at Wash ington. Approval from frderal officials expected within a few weeks, aince Ickes had already it a ted orally he would approve the re(juett for a grant of 11.575.000. Governor Martin has Indicated he will summon the legislature Into ape rial session shortly after the applica tion hr-rn approved. In order to piovu.' f ,r ih" ttata'i ahart of the A Trifle Previous, but ABOUT a year hence there will be two -perhaps more, estimable and perspiring gentlemen, working their heads and hands off, in an effort to become the 33d president of the United States. - We realize it is entirely gratuitous. Nevertheless we shall now extend our sincere sympathy to the candidate who gets what he wants; and our equally sincere congratulations, to the candidate who doesn't. For the job of being president of this great country of ours, is a tough one under the best circumstances; under the circum stances which promise to prevail, a year or two hence, the job promises to be literally a killing one. NO matter which party wins, no matter who is elected, the period from 1936 to 1940, will be the period during which, the people of this country must pay the piper. Democrat or Republican, will make no difference. Facts arc facts, debts are debts, obligations are obligations, and the mind of man has yet to devise a scheme that will overcome the force of gravity. What goes up, must come down. Money that is borrowed must be paid back. And no matter how prosperous the country may be during the next administration the bill contracted dur ing this one, will have to be paid, and it fan only be paid through taxes. SO whatever the future holds, as far as financial recovery is concerned we certainly do not envy the job, the next presi dent of the United States will have to handle. Already protests against the mounting tax bills, arc being heard; but they will be nothing compared to the outcries, the screams of pain and anguish which will arise,, when the shoe really begins to pinch as it will long before another administration has ended. And it will do little pood to point to the necessity of such sacrifices or to the justification of the debts that were con tracted. There arc plenty of individuals with good memories, but people in the' mass, politically speaking have no memories. Two years hence, the depression of the early 30's, and the dan-rs then confronting this country, threatening its very existence in fact will he as remote in the public mind, as are the details of the world war. But the amount of their current tax bill WON'T be. Of course this is assuming that during the next administration the budget WILL be balanced and genuine monetary inflation, will not be invoked, at the present writing certainly a pretty rea sonable assumption. HOWEVER fortunately for the people of this country, if not for their presidents, such prospects do not never have and never will, deter candidates from seeking the highest political office in the land. We note Dr. Townsend wouldn't take the job if it were offered him he doesn't want to die just now, nor in fact until the Townsend plan has been adopted, but he thus far is the only one to flatly decline. No, in spite of nil the grief and agony, the trials and tribula tions, the sorrows and the dangers, there are still plenty of able men in this country who want to occupy the White House, and millions of men nnd women who are eager to place them there. But we repeat, we do not envy the successful candidate in 1936, and we can't resist tho temptation to express our sympathy for him, right now I Comment on the Day's News Dy IBANK JENKINS. ENRY FORD, who started we penniless and remained so until early middle age, la one ot the rlcn est men In the world at the age ol 73. When past the first flush of youtn. he conceived the Idea that automo bllea could be built so cheaply tnat nearly everyone could afford to own one, and out o: tnia tnca grow " great wealth. He la supposed to be worth some where around a hllllon althougn this supposition, .of course, la pure guesswork, si his wealth Is repre sented by lands, buildings, ma chinery, etc., whoso money ism-. arlea widely from year to year. THERE are plenty to ten u, these days whenjtiimagogues arc running wild, that It Is a crime lor ANYBODY to be worth a billion dol lara when so many people haven t money enough to buy their n' meal, and at first thought it does seem unfair. So lets analyte It a little. Suppose Henry Pord hadn't got nis big Idea. Or. after he got It. sup pose he hadn't been able to Interest anybody In putting up the money he needed, suppose In had RE MAINED penniless all his life. How much better off. In that event, would you and 1 be now.' - THE ANSWER la that Instead ol being better off we would oc WORSE off. Hit great-Industry tl-.ai grew out of Henry Ford'a Ideas has furnished emAyment directly, at good wages, to hundreds of thou sands of us. and by creating new markets tor a wide range of pro ducts has furnished employment In directly for millions more D F.MAOOOl'KS and impractical theorist who in some wa are more dmgerous thsn demagogue are spreading the Idea that It Is a crime to mak? a profit. They hae coined a tool term, "production lor use." by which they mean, or TH INK t hey mean, t hat , evrrj, thing that made should p nxoducel ioj the um of- thu who do the producing snd NOT for any body's profit. Well, what has been done with Henry Ford'a cars? Haven't tney been USED? Of course they nsve. (EVERYTHING THAT IS MADE IS used. If no use la found for It. it ceases to be made. If the lumber , from Klamath's great mllla ceases to be USED, the mills close down. N OW a word about this prom business: If Henry Ford, when he got nia groat Idea, hadn't been Able to show somebody the possibility of a PROFIT If nil he could hop, to do was to make a iw cars for his own ana his neighbors' use he couldn't have built up the great business that hns provided employment and mar kets to millions of people since it waa founded. It Is hope of a profit thst makes people willing to take risks, and n there is to be no profit nobody will take risks. If no risks are taken, no great businesses will be built up. i k Pill Personal Health Service By William Brady, M.D. HlCned tetters pertaining to persona, bealtb and nyiflene not to disease diagnosis or. treatment will be answered by Dr. lirady If a stamped sell-addressed envelope la enclosed Letters should be brief and written In ink owing to the large number of letters received only a rew can be answered No reply can be made uj queries not conforming to Instructions.

Lewia of the Loa Anclea County Medical association pre sents In digest ible form an ex cellent , view of the scientific and practical knowl edge of the rela tion of the vita min to obstet rics. Every phy sician who ad vises or attends confinement oases should read this informative article. Here I can quote only blta which I think may be of help for prospective mothers. First, thoxigh, every expectant mother should know that on her re quest, inclosing a stamped envelope bearing her address, I will send her a letter of Instructions and advice. Or she may write the Children's Bu reau, Labor Department, Washington. D. C, for the free government pamph let. "Prenatal Care," and aleo the free pamphlet, "Infant Care." Or she may prefer to buy or to borrow from the public library one of the follow ing excellent books: "Prenatal and Maternal Care," by Dr. W. E. Hunter, (Stacey). 'Simplifying Motherhood," by Dr. P. H. Richardson. (Putnam). "Approaching Motherhood." by Dr. O. L. Broadhead. (Hceber). Some random polnta from Dr. Lewis's paper: Pasteur l?t-it inn of milk destroys about 38 of the vitamin B complex. (Another good reason. In my Judg ment, for preferring grade A RAW milk to pnsteurlzed, if grade A RAW from tuberculin-tested cows Is avail able.) The physician who Is undecided In his own mind concerning tho role of vitamin A In preventing infection will find the scientific observations cited by Dr. Lewis Interesting. It appears that deficiency of vitamin A tends to Impair the first line of defense, the epithelium of the mucous membranes. When there is Inefficient vitamin A thla epithelial lining shift from col umnar to squamous, that Is, from delicate, soft, functionally alive cells to hard, dry, scaly, functionally dead cells. It is obvious that the latter would be less formidable to bacterial invaders. Puerperal sepsis, that Is, blood poi soning after childbirth, was only one. fourth as frequent amcng 225 women in Sheffield University hospital who received an extra ration of vitamins A and D for & few weeks prior to childbirth, as among 225 women In the same hrwpltnl who did not re ceive the vitamin ration. In spite of the fact that the diet of the average American family is fairly well balanced there Is still a THIS WRITER, speaking for him self, prefers practical business men like Henry Ford to the Imprac tical crnnks who spout that profit Is a crime. (Continued from Page One) ernl Farley was going to bear down against Senator Bornh In Idaho. As noon as the story appeared, the White House called Mr. Farley on the long distance telephone. It also called Emll Hurja, Charles Michelson snd others to find out particularly whether they knew anything about a reported meeting of 'democratic big shot at which It was decided to get Borah. All replied they had never heard of such a meeting. They sus pected that Borah's friend. Senator Wheeler, inspired the story to help Borah. That all may be, but you can mark It down in your hat that Mr. Borah is in for trouble. j Ailf I HER'S VITAMIN RATION relative deficiency of vitamins. Lack of vitamins should be included In the consideration of sterility. Pre mature delivery and stillbirth may be due to vitamin deficiency in some cases. Pernicious vomiting may be a feature of polyneuritis, and vita min B Is both remedy and prophy lactic. Calcium-phosphorus metabol ism Is favorably influenced by vita min D. The nutrition of the baby depends on the vitamins transmitted through the milk, and this la another reason why the prospective mother Bhould have an optimal ration of vi tamins in her diet. 0,1." EST IONS AND ANSWERS Poison Against Poison. I don't know where the national guard seraeant Is located who told you his first aid class Is Instructed to give whiskey for snakebite. In our national guard first aid instruc tion no such thing Is taught. On the contrary, the text says that la Just an old belief without any foun dation. (R. R. P.) Answer Thank you. . The sergeant wrote from another state. Of course It )s absurd to Imagine alcohol can be of any avail in such an emerg ency. Stimulants, not narcotics are needed. Spinach and Smoke. Kindly let me know the value of spinach. Is It fattening? What ben efits are derived from It? Dees in haling cigarette smoke cause a growth of hair on the face? (Mtss H. L. L.) Answer Spinach Is a natural stim ulant and aid to digestion, an ex cellent source of calcium, iron, vita min A. phosphorus, vitamin B, vita min C and vitamin O. It is the least fattening thing you can eat. So far as I know, inhaling smoke has no effect in growth of hair. Flnhbergnted Milk. Does pasteurized milk have to be boiled to sterilise It before giving H to a baby? The baby Is a year old. (Mrs. M. J.) Answer Pasteurized means par boiled (the milk Is heated to 145 de grees P. for 20 to 30 minutes). It is not necessary to boil milk that has been pasteurized. But I should pre fer to buy grade A raw milk from tuberculin -tested cows, and bring tt to a boll for one minute only. That destroys any disease germs in the milk a certainly as does pasteuriz ing, but the momentary boiling is less destructive to vitamins than Is pasteurizing. Any baby fed with either pasteurized or boiled milk should receive a dally ration of some fresh fruit Juice (or tomato Juice, fresh or factory canned) to prevent scurvy and maintain optimal health.
