Wben I looked up again the car was almost In the top of a tree." TTHE King of the Belgians, speaking. The Queen of the Belgians is dead. That glance at the map, which the Queen held in her hands, was only for a second, but it was long enough to end one human life, and change the course of another perhaps alter the destiny of an entire nation. ' A shocking tragedy, and yet one that in this mad gasoline age, with its mania for speed, is happening every day. ""VMY for a second" did the King take his eyes from the road. But the car was dashing along the rim of a lake, at 50 miles an hour, which means that in a second it could travel 70 or 80 feet. Seventy or eighty feet straight AHEAD on a WINDING road, every motorist knows what that may mean. And in this case that is what it DID mean, tragedy, heart break and death ! not only for a husband, a father and a fam ily, but for an entire nation I . "NLY for a second !" That might well be adopted as a safety slogan to be pasted on every windshield. Too infintesimal to consider, as the days go on and the years roll by; but in this machine age of ours if marked by a lapse quite enough to end everything that makes life worth liv ing. "Only for a second!" Far, far too high a price to pay, and the heart of the entire world goes out ifl sympathy and sorrow to the King of the Bel gians, but if this tragedy, heart breaking as it is, shall engrave upon the minds of the motoring world, the poignant arresting significance of those four words "only for a second," there will be this consolation, the Queen of the Belgians will not have died in vain. Don't Believe It SO William Randolph Hearst, Bainbridge Colby, Al Smith, Rirnhifl of Mnrvlanrl. Rasknh of New York and other dis gruntled Democrats are going to form a third party. This is the announcement from New York, the tentative title of the new organization being the Constitutionalist party. Whereupon a prominent member of the Liberty League re peats the prediction Franklin D. Koosevelt will not be the nom inee of the Democratic party in 1936. T TO HUM So the crazy prelude to the presidential war dance goes on ! That there will be a well organized and determined, effort to defeat Roosevelt at the 1936 convention is certain. It is equally certain that no one can defeat the President, for the nomination, except the President himself. In other words, if F. D. R. wants the nomination'he will get it, regardless of the opposition that may be aroused against him. This would be true no matter who was President. As party con ventions are now made up and administered, no one can beat the ocoupant of the White House, who has had only one term and WANTS another. . ' NOR is at at all probable this Constitutionalist Democratic party will ever enter the campaign. When all is said and done, party loyalty in the Democratic party is pretty strong, and from now on until the convention meets it will grow stronger. Many prominent Democrats who like Glass and Byrd don't like many things the President has done, will be back of him and the party 100 per cent when the time to vote comes around. IN ALL likelihood the real purpose behind this Third party movement is only to throw a scare into tho New Deal ranks, BEFORE the convention is held. If this scare can be made strong enough, the anti-Roosevelt gain sufficient momentum, there might be a chance about one in 3000 R'oosevolt could be persuaded to step down and out on the plea of saving his party. For obviously if there should be a real split in Democratic ranks, Roosevelt, the nominee of one faction and ex-Governor Ely of Massachusetts or .anyone else the candidate of the other, Democratic defeat would be practically certain. Democratio defeat however would mean Republican victory, and when these revolting boys are faced by such an alternative, watch them run back to get on the party band wagon. In other words, while there is a strong anti-Roosevelt senti ment in the Democratic party, when it comes to voting for Roosevelt a second term or returning the G. 0. P. to power, at least 99 out of 100 of the insurgents will choose the former, even though it may require some nose holding and a life-sized chaser. IT was ever thus. There is very little partisanship between elec tions, but when another four years roll around, even though the people may split six ways to Sunday, the boys high up in the party councils return to thcirhome fires to be counted. It doesn't take as good a politician as the President is to ap preciate this fact. So when all the shouting and the tumult dies, it's a hundred to one bet Franklin D. Roosevelt will be'the Dem ocratic nominee, and at least 99 per cent of the Democratic lead ers will be behind him. Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS THIS brltf bulletin comes (rem Portland: "The, Journal today said uncon firmed reports here stated that Wil lamette University, pressed by the state to name, ft price for Its campus for t new statehouM site, would agree to sell ftt -wound ll.ooo.ooo.'

In conceiv able circumstances It might be better to be a live cow ard than ft dead hero. We may not quite arrive at our goal but we at least aim ftt something In these little les sons. Sorry if you don't get It. When we gain thorough under standing of hun ger, appetite and m e t a b oll&ra knowledge which I believe will come not from the physiological laboratory but from clinical observation or the experience of the observing medical practitioner we shall have mastery over three Important nutritional diseases, name ly asthenia, diabetes and obesity, not to mention scores of vague com plaints due to the same causes. - Drs. Evans and Strang conjectured and when doctors get to cogitating these problems good Is bound to come of It, as witness the discovery of In sulin that while the level of meta bolism adequate for satiety persists hunger Is absent. Not a world-shaking thought, but a stimulating one. ' Dr. Wilder conjectured that hunger , may be stimulated by change In com position of the blood, such as a low ering of blood sugar below the ord inary level., a state now called hypo glycemia. He argued that whatever the mechanism of hunger, the urge to eat is the result of hunger and the desire to stop eating Is the re sult of the feeling of repletion or satiation, and abnormality of either of these feelings may bring about gain or loss of body weight. Now with your kind permission or Doc Brady will toss a silly notion Into the symposium. The familiar pic ture of the overstuffed Individual craving and demanding immediate carbohydrate sustenance or having a spell 6r getting exceedingly peevish If the food is not promptly available, may be explained as incapacity to mobilize or utilize (oxidize) the sugar of which the blood is full up to the ordinary or normal level or even over saturated.

The recent bulge of food and farm prices (meat and hogs particularly) has drawn the Index up. Industrial prices are generally unchanged. People seem to have developed a new buying psychology. They are purchasing electric refrigerators, vacuum sweepers, washing machines, autos, cigarettes and clothes. They are taking trips to Europe. But they are not buying liquor, homes, real estate or making investments, at least not to a commensurate extent. For Instance. July production oi cigarettes set a new record of 13 bil lions. But the amount of building contracts awarded in that month wa only 34 per cent of normal, even with the PWA stimulus. Thla wave is undoubtedly a bad outgrowth of the depression era, in which some people lost their sav ings. They do not want to save now. They want to spend for particular low-priced comforts. The Immediate outlook Is good. During the last three weeks steel operations have been pushed up to about 60 per cent of capacity. In early July they were 30 per cent. The improvement is based on wide administration to have toUled 617. 599.572 94. "The state of Oregon received ft total of 12.632.182 75 for wheat con trol and 849.926 73 for corn-hog con trol." "HAT Is to say. the farmers of these 1 X three states received ft little In excess of seventeen and a half mil lion dollars for th CROPS THEY DIDN'T RAISE. They probably welcomed the money, but this writer, who Is fright fully old-fashioned In soma ways, finds It Impossible to believe that In the long run either farmers or any body else will profit by getting paid for NOT RAISING crops. THAT, of course. Is an unpopular idea at the present moment, and avybctfy who expresses it u likely should be brier and written In Ink. A BREAKDOWN assist In tho oxidation of carbohy drates such as blood sugar. Dr. Har ris shares this view. Dr. White found in laboratory testa that vitamin B lowers the blood sugar level. All these observations and conjectures coincide with the opinion of Drs. Abderhalden and Werthelmer that vitamin B is the oxidation catalyst concerned with the utilization of glycogen, blood su gar, carbohydrate. As our knowledge of nutrition in creases from day to day, It does not seem quite so absurd as certain half baked critics thought at first, to propose that lack of vitamins In the ordinary refined diet may have ft good deal to do with the common nutritional diseases mentioned. Ex perience of physicians who think for themselves Indicates that correction of this fault of modern diet may prove a. great preventive measure against these common dlseaaes. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Imaginary Breathing Age 75. Have practiced Belly Breathing for some time. Occurred to me some lung cells never get air. so by reversing belly breathing I empty the dormant lung cells and give them , fresh air. (B. O. J.) Answer Belly Breathing Is best way to give all lung cells fresh air. If you attempt to reverse It, you are going against nature, and probably breathing less efficiently.
