Om Mail Tribune waaTads,
Try to
TPHE Mail Tribune has been asked to say something in favor
of the Community Chest.
It shouldn't be necessary to say anything in favor of the
Community Chest. After all these years of necessary and useful
service, the mere announcement that the organization's annual
drive starts tomorrow, should be enough. Every resident of
Medford in a POSITION to give something, should GIVE
something, in fact all the individual can afford without any
one having to talk or write about it.
But so often, what should be, ISN'T. And this seems to be
particularly true of the Community Chest.
THE trouble as we see it, does not lie in any lack of heart,
or absence of a true neighborly feeling. Medford is above
the average in this respect.
It lies rather in a lack of imagination, or the failure of
those who believe strongly in the Chest, and realize its necessity
to properly STIMULATE the popular imagination.
If, for example, a man or woman should come to any home
in Medford, pale and weak and disheartened, plainly in need
of food and shelter, would help be denied them! Or, if a child,
ill and undernourished, in need of warmth and food and medi
cal attention, should be encountered on the street, by any resi
dent of Medford,- would that mute appeal be ignored, and the
youngster be forced to stagger through the streets, without care
or attention t .
Obviously not. There is no
desire to help the suffering and the unfortunate, in this com
munity. '
YET a major portion of the funds contributed to the Com
munity Chest is devoted to PRECISELY THESE ENDS
to provide food and warmth, shelter and proper medical atten
tion, to those among us young and old, in desperate need of
the same. A more necessary, a more worthy service, particu
larly at such times as these, could not be imagined.
And yet we have people here, good people, too, people
who live in comfort and security themselves, who refuse to
give ANYTHING to the Community Chest; or if they do give
they do so reluctantly and not half what they should give.
Moreover they would be terribly outraged if anyone should
suggest they are heartless or unfeeling, or from the standpoint
of good citizenship, no better than self-centered and self-interested
slackers.
It all comes down to the inability, or the extreme difficulty,
in presenting to the people all the people the true picture of
the situation as it actually exists, just what the Community
Chest is, what it docs, and what from day to day throughout
the year it means. ,
IF EVERYONE could just see it! And perhaps they could see
it, if they would forget about the Community Chest in the
abstract, and think of it in the concrete; if when they arc
asked for a contribution, they would forget about 'this organi
zation and that one, the Salvation Army, the Red Cross, the
Boy Scouts and the Girl Scouts, and just visualize such a
scene as depicted above the woman in want appealing for aid,
the youngster, in rags, neglected and ill, asking for help.
For that is, and always has been, the chief purpose of the
Community Chest.
IF IN this somewhat disconnected screed, we have been able
to bring that piottiro CLEARLY before some of our readers,
who failed to see it heretofore, then we have complied with the
request to do something for the Community Chest.
For, as we sec it, that's all that's needed. Let all the people
of Medford SEE what the Community Chest means and whnt
it is, and the problem is solved.

WHEN A GI
A young woman teacher, with a
good position, haj been more par
ticular than almost any girl I know
about her friends,
never S oollah
& bout love af
fairs, has a nice
home and a fine
family. She has
fallen In love
with a Hindu
and s e r 1 o u sly
considers marry
ing him and go
ing to India to
live, aa he cannot
become a citizen
here. Her family
Is frantic. Are
there any arguments on heredity or
the physical side that one might use
In trying to persuade her against tak
ing this step? (Mrs. M. R.)
If you had a son who was In love
with a girl who has negro blood in
her veins, what would you do? The
boy Is 10, the girl two years his jun
ior. They have been sweetheart for
five years, In a childlike way at first,
but they seem to be getting serious
now. The girl's father was for sev
eral years principal of school
and gave splendid satisfaction In an
entirely white community. Once or
twice there were whisperings that he
was part negro, but this was said to
be Just gossip. Lately, however, we
learned that tha family has negro
blood almost beyond a doubt . . .
The girl herself Is a splendid, highly
Intelligent young woman and looks
rather like a beautiful Rumanian, and
if I am any Judge she would make
this young man a splendid wife. He
has Just finished his freshman year
at university. . . . (Mrs.
I. C.)
The data given would not Influence
my view of either man-luge.
For the assurance of Mrs. I. C. and
others who harbor fictitious notions
aout heredity, It may be well to re
peat that a "throwback" or "reversion
to type" never happens in the hu
man race. That is. a black child Is
never born of parents, one of whom
happens to have a small admixture of
negro blood. The offspring of such
parents will be no darker than .the
darker parent.
More Important than the question
of color is the question of physical
fitness for marriage. Forget the
mingling of blood and consider rather
whether the persons contemplating
marriage can pass a medical examina
tion which shows freedom from com
municable or transmissible disease
and freedom from physical deficiency
which would Invalidate marriage.

used to think he
was merely bask

of his frl sotted

ter Adele.
A nice boy,
splendid foil and
all that! Yet he
has gone like a
shot to his great
est success since
his talented sis
ter married an
English noble and the stage alliance
was broken. Despite his stage achieve
ments In New York and London, he
was not made an over-night star by
the movies.
His first part was a minor one and
his billing was a scant mention of
his name in: "The cast Includes,
etc." But he made a bit click and
soon they had him signed on the
dotted line. Today, with Ginger Rog
ers aa his dancing partner, he Is
hanging up new box office records.
He is in mufti a country-looking
boy, one who might be selling tick

RL MARRIES
The first talk I had In this column,
before many present readers were
born, was a plea to parents to demand
a health certificate and a Plea to
young men to obtain one voluntarily
and submit to the parent or guard
ians of the young woman beofre en
gagement is contracted. Then and
many times since I have been round
ly scored for not Insisting that the
prospective bride should furnish a
similar health certificate. Frankly,
I waver a bit about that these days.
but I still think the onus Is on the
male of the species. As I see It. every
man owes such health assurance to
the woman he would marry, and any
right-minded woman, for the sake of
her home and her family, should wish
to ascertain whether any heritable or
physical Impediment exists on her
side before she marries.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Damp Quarters.
Is it dangerous for young children
or adults to sleep In bedrooms the
walls of which are actually wet three
feet from the floor up? We heat
with gas stoves, but no stove In the
bedrooms. (Mrs. O. M. S.)
Answer Not so far as the damp
nes or moisture Is concerned. But It
is likely the gas heater or heatets
lack adequate vents or connection
with flue or chimney to remove prod
ucts of combustion from the house.
Water Is one product of combustion
the least Injurious. A wooden, plas
ter, metal or plasterboard wall Inside
the other, with some air space be
tween, would correct the annoyance
of accumulation of moisture on the
wall and mouldering and spoiling of
wallpaper, etc.
Palling Hair.
Daughter, 12, convalescing from ty
phoid fever. When we comb her hair
It comes out a good deal. We have
been told it wil come out completely
til she Is quite bald, and they ad
vised shaving the head immediately.
(L. H.
Answer The hair falls more or
less after any severe selge like that.
The less combing the better, ana the
more gentle brushing the better. The
hair will grow vigorously again ns
the patient recovers strength. Shav
ing or clipping the hair can make
no difference In Its growth. Send
stamped envelope bearing your ad
dress, for monograph on "Care of the
Hair," which deals wlMi fulling hair,
dandruff, baldness, etc.

quick closing. Although he employed
his sure-fire formula for the favored

and the whirl-about cry: "Royal Box

and night clubbing Is a tenacious

The cob-webby attic and the gut

shot, a part of a writer's background.
Today the most magnificent work
rooms In New York are occupied by
literary success. Edna Perber recently
took over the Ivar Kreuger penthouse
on Park Avenue. Kay Brush's Sutton
Place studio in Urban decor Is a
model of elegance. Then there's Kath
leen Norrls's minaret near Palo Alto.
Zane Grey's ocean-going yacht aboard
which he turns out westerns. Michael
Arlen has a schloss In the Austrian
Tyrol. General Lew Wallace had a ro
mantic tower In Indiana. Joseph Her
geshclmer actually has a moated cas

studio overlooking the blue of the

Pun In the park: One of those soft
eyed russet brown setters near the
Pulitzer statue entrance this evening
was the target for the capers of a
frisky wire-haired puppy. A living
monument of patience, the bird dog
stood Immobile while the puppy nip
ped his flanks, chewed his ears and
leaped all over him with a staccato of
mad yips. Finally the noble elder,
desperate, stretched on the ground,
rolled on his back and let go a long
moan. "That," called a seedy bench
sitter near-by, "la how I feel about
things, too."

HARDLY, you see, do we begin to
get out of the depression before
we begin talking about the boom.
And It's a little hard to say which
Is the more disastrous depressions or
booms.
H
ERE'S a curious thing:
In boom times we run Into
debt. During the ensuing depressions,
we PAY UP our debts.
Paying the debts that are so cheer
fully contracted in boom times is one
of the things' that make depressions
so tough.
WE'RE supposed to be coming out
of a depression and heading Into
a, boom. Ye the government of the
United States Is running Into debt
faster than any government, in time
of peace, ever ran Into debt before.
Where Is that heading us for?
If you can answer that question,
you're GOOD.

analysis, without general approba
tion or disapprobation.
That Is why there Is greater inter
est in economics and' politics than
there ever has been. Every shopkeep
er will argue economics with you.
Every clerk has his own political
ideas, which are not necessarily those
he reads. The people certainly know
more about what Is going on In
Washington than they ever did, and
each has his own Idea.
Consequently, the decline of Inter
est In Mr. Roosevelt's words seems
to indicate only a decline of Interest
In him personally, but not in his new
deal. That la an important political
distinction.
For Instance, the newspapers off
Mr. Roosevelt's particular path gave
little prominence to his speeches on
his western trip, although many of
those same newspapers are ardent new
deal supporters. They displayed reltef
and tax news from Washington, the
Ethiopian situation and even inter
views with Mickey Cochrane more
prominently than the president's
speeches.
That Is an accurate reflection of
the current interest trend.
Business was 8 to 40 per cent better
in the fifteen or more communities
visited and hastily investigated dur
ing this trip. Only one exceptional
city was 40 per cent better (San Di
ego), The average Improvement of
the western half of the country was
found to be about 10 per cent over
last year.
This Is a far better condition than
the Washington figures show. It is
due partly to government spending,
partly to sectional subsidies by the
federal government (AAA, sliver). But
even beyond those factors, the na
tural undercurrent of business Is def
initely fixed and strong, much more
so than In the east, where the lag
ging heavy goods manufacturers are
centered.
The depression Is physically over,
but the trouble Is It has not been
forgotten. Business people are uncer
tain. Inclined to keep In their shells.
Some refuse to tell how good their
business Is. They prefer to talk In
doubts. I
If alt were suddenly to start talk
ing business up instead of down, an j
entirely different national feeling i
would be created without any ma-1
terial change In the baslo situation.
t The outward appearance of the
I country Is excellent. There are few
I manifestations of depression. 'Auto
traffic Is heavy on most highways.
Tourists are traveling and spending
I money. Trains are not generally
crowded, but well filled. Pew vacant
I houses or stores are seen In most :
cities. Business men are advertising
j energetically and competing sharply
I for business. '
Where the existing condition ap-!
j parcntly differs most from normal Is j
; that, while nearly everyone (the up-J
per three-fourths of the country) is
' making a little money, profits are
! not what they were In 1923-25. !
Furthermore, the high-pressure
groups, the promoters who made
money out of financing new enter- '
prises, are not now making anything ;
at all. Their wall Is loudest. j
In only one spot was there any
.evidence of third party coalition sen-j
timent sufficient to be formidable.
, That was In Colorado. Bi-partisan AI j
: Smith talk was strong there. It will j
' not eollpe. The sentiment obtained j
from w. R. Heart at Sin Simeon ac-
curately sums up tht (utility of such
a movement. He, an original sponsor
of It, said the leading conservative
democrats, who could give It mo
mentum, are afraid.
What he also probably meant was
that the democrats, displeased with
the new deal, are unwilling to under
take an insurrection, which would
only help the republicans. They still
think bad democrats are better than
good republicans.
Similarly there is no prospect of a
third party representing the large
groups, weath sharers, Coughltnltes,
Townsendites and epics. Mr. Roose
velt appears to have cut ground from
under all these, except possibly the
Townsendites. The old-age crowd will
probably .exert strong influence on
both major parties during prepara
tions for the election next year. They
are sufficiently powerful to warrant
respect from any candidate for pub
lie office. But they do not seem to
be led by anyone wise enough to
whip them into a separate political
entity (comparable to Huey Long,
for Instance).
Smart republicans are making a
bid for their support in California.
