What F. D. R. Has Lost
1 ERE'S a very small but important item in the news from
Washington:
"Louis McH. Howe la no better and can not be expected to
get back In harnejw."
Too bad. Mr. Howe was not only President Roosevelt's first
secretary but his constant political adviser, and an extremely
able one.
Instead of trying to explain some of the president's recent
actions on the ground he is losing his mind, which is entirely
unfounded and entirely idiotic, one might come within shoot
ing distance of the truth, to put it on the ground he has lost his
chief political adviser.
At least this much is true. The turning point in the presi
dent's political fortunes, dates roughly from the time Mr. Howe
was taken seriously ill and retired as the political pilot of the
administration.
A CCORDING to Washington gossip which may or may not
be true, his place was taken by Professor Felix Frank
furter of the Harvard Law School.
Now Professor Frankfurter is an extremely brilliant man,
dynamic, original and liberal; but he was not born and raised
in what might be termed the American tradition. In other
words it is fair to state he lacks that Yankee shrewdness, sound
common sense, and instinctive understanding of the American
character, which Howe possessed in such large measure.
There seems to be little doubt that the president's reactions
toward the NRA supremo court decision, the Guffey bill, and
his unexpected appropriation of Huey Long's share-the-wealth
proposal were supported, if not actually inspired by Professor
Frankfurter.
It is also fair to assume if Louis Howe had been at the helm,
he would not have sanctioned such a radical departure from the
well established middle of the road policy at this particular time.
"F course there was bound
such an extremely popular president a Franklin D. Roose
velt was during the first half of his administration, no matter
what was said or done.
Rut our own belief is, this reaction would never have been
so extreme, if that wise "little man", Louis McII. Mowe, had not
been forced by a bad heart, to drop from the ranks entirely.
Two Important Bills
s
TWO important bills were approved yesterday by President
RnnKflvplt.. On was tlift motor hn mensnrp; th nthpr the
Wilcox measure, the former placing motor buses under the
control of the Interstate Commerce Commission; the latter pro
viding for a chain of army air bases, to protect the U. S. borders.
Hereafter buses engaged in interstate commerce, will be
treated like railroads as common carriers and forced to obtain
certificates of convenience and necessity. Carriers in operation
beforo June 1st of this year will receive them as a matter of
course; those organized after this date, will he obliged to apply
for certificates, and present proof as to the necessity for their
lines.
This measure endeavors to accomplish in transportation what
the NRA tried to accomplish in business, but was prevented
from so doing, by the supremo court decision. That is, it pro
poses to stabilize transportation, eliminate the irresponsible rate
cutter and ehiseler, place all forms of transportation upon
relatively crpial terms.
Regarding the air base bill, President Roosevelt while ap
proving it stated there would be no immediate construction
under it.
Medford is keenly interested in this measure, and hopes that
through it southern Oregon may eventually be selected as one
of the strategic air base centers of the country.

THE COLD HO
The other day I advised readers
to send two cents postage to Na
tlonal Tuberculosis association, 50
W. BOth St., New
York City, for a
copy of the pam
phlet, "Air and
Sunshine." It
c o n t a Ins some
good suggestions
concerning ven
tilation, fresh
air and sun bath
ing or air bath'
Ing. as well ai
sound cautions
against sunburn
You had bet
ter disregard the
dissertation on "colds' which the
tuberculosis association could not
resist injecting Into an otherwise
excellent pamphlet, I warn you that
no one connected with the National
Tuberculosis association and no one
engaged by the association to write
pamphlets knows what he Is talk
ing about when he sounds off about
'colds." Lest some of you readers
take the cold hokum bunkem ot
the N. T. A. seriously I put my lin
ger on the catch In It:
According to the explanation In
the pamphlet, warm air causes the
lining of the nose to swell slightly,
which means Increased blood supply,
and cold air causes the lining to
shrink. Perhaps, says the pamphlet,
"this lessened blood supply which
causes the shrinkage gives the germs,
which are always In the nose and
throat, a chance to attack and so
cause a cold." This Is the veriest
hunkem. In the first place, cold air
(ins not cause shrinkage, but
more frequently swelling of the
lining of the nose. In the next place
there Is no ground for the notion
that germs of any kind are "always
in the nose and throat" waiting, or
aa the quacks put it, lurking till
your "resistance" Is down. Finally,
there Is no scientific ground for
the funny notion that the physiolo
gical or normal response of the
nasal mucosa to environmental
changes has anything to do with
any known respiratory Infection.
Undoubtedly, observes the National
Tuberculosis association loftily, the
fear of catching cold by going out
of doors has been greatly exagger
ated. In this pamphlet the National Tu
berculosis association contributes Its
bit toward the exaggeration of that
fear.
Not that I mind what the N.T.A. :
or anybody else call it. I call It crl.
You may call it what you please.

ciates. Ql'ESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Wheat to Eat.
Any harm done wheat kernels by
washing and drying In oven before
grinding? E. H.
Answer No. Ordinarily It Is sul
flclent to wash the wheat, that Is,
rinse in water, if it seems dusty or
not clean, and then It is ready for
use. It Is wholesome If cooked with
out grinding or krlnkllng, or even
eaten raw, but It requires longer
cooking than when ground or crack
ed up, of course. Any one should
take wheat cooked as he prefers
raw, cooked a few minutes or cooked
for hours. It Is a matter of personal
taste.
Skim Milk.
Does skim milk contain everything
whole milk contains, except fat?
Mrs. M. P.
Answer Yes. Skim milk is milk
trom which the cream has been
skimmed or removed. Makes no great
difference whether the fat has been
skimmed off in the old-fashioned
way or centrifuged ,ln the separator.
Many dumb farmers waste the valu
able food In skim milk, because
they think It Is not fit for human
beings to eat. Skim milk yields Just
half the fuel value or calories that
fresh whole milk yields.
Night Blindness.
Please explain what la meant by
night blindness. Mrs. K. K. D.
Answer Difficulty lu seeing well
after sundown or on entering a
dimly lighted room .that Is greater
difficulty than normal persons have,
rt Is due to Insufficient vitamin A
In the diet.
Ifuiiey Lacks Vitamins.
Did you say honey contains little
or no vitamins? J. E. D.
Answer Yes, none to speak of,
tho honey ia an excellent whole

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
NOTE, please especially If you are
Interested In why nations go to
war that a British correspondent
at Addis Ababa reports that Japan
has signed a contract to supply a
very heavy consignment of arms and
ammunition for modernization ot
the Ethiopian army.
WHY?.
Well, Ethiopia is reported to be
growing cotton heavily for Japan.
Japan la rising rapidly and menac
ingly aa a competitor of England's
cotton spinning and weaving in
dustry. If Italy conquers and annexes
Ethiopia, the growing of Ethiopian
cotton to supply Japan's spindles
and looms will probably CEASE.
So Japan, although she probably
has need for her munitions at
borne, has to take steps to prevent
Italy's conquering and annexing
Ethiopia.
ALSO, please, remember that until
very recently the United States
has been the biggest grower ana
exporter of cotton In the world, but
Is beginning to lose that position.
So, you Bee, we are not wholly
uninterested In this threatened war.
All of which Illustrates the fact
that It Is easier to talk about keep
ing out of war than actually to
keep out.

UNDER the terms of the adminis
tration tax hill, pawed by tne
house of representatives on Monday,
the man with bralna capable ot
earning 5,000.000 a year will have
to turn over 75 per cent of his
earnings to the government.
At present, he has to turn over
only 59 per cent of It.
QUESTION: Is the new tax bill a
good thing for the, country?
Answer: If men with brains cap
able of earning five million dollars
a year are willing to GO ON earn
ing that much and turning over
three-fourths of it to the govern
ment. It is.
Otherwise, not.
IT Is admittedly unwise to kill a
goose that lays golden eggs.
The man who Is willing to take
all the risks Involved in earning
five million dollars, knowing that
he must turn (2,950,000 of It over
to the government, comes pretty
close to being that kind of a goose
If. by increasing the amount he
must turn over to the government
$2,950,000 to 3,750,000, We KILL
his willingness to go ahead and pro
duce, we aren't so smart.

higher the price the consumer must
pay.
The higher the price the consumer
