Cat stall Tribune want Ids, MEMBER A Lucid WELL things look better in minted to another world been signs of sanity overseas. And after all sanity is all Europe needs, to' maintain peace. A Europe that would deliberately unleash the dogs of war, again, after the experience in 1914, simply would be stark mad. For no rational mind could such a conflict, mutual and complete destruction. No victory from the standpoint of national welfare would be possible. 'Whatever the momentary advantages or reverses, in the end onl revolution, anarchy Suicide is the only word for it the suicide of civilization. Let us hope this lucid interval abroad prevails. For mark this. If European civilization decides to jump over the precipice, American civilization will be brought nearer the precipice than ever before. Boast as we may of our isolation in any real sense of the What Are WE are still waiting for some valid argument AGAINST, votinir.for the new citv reservoir and thus securing a cash gift from the government of $65,200. . v The arguments thus far presented are cither contrary to the facta, or in reality, arguments in this time. To take the last category first. "If after 1938 when 1195.000 of old water bonds are paid off. wa take 190,000 a year from water rentals, put it In a sinning fund for 7 years, we can build the reservoir and have the cash to pay for it." ,,' Quite true. In other words Medford can put $20,000 a year into a sinking fund for seven years, and start work on the new reservoir, in 1945, But would that be good sense! If the new reservoir will be needed in 1945 it must be needed now. For it is primarily necessary as insurance against a break in the present pipe line, and that break is certainly as likely to occur during the ten years before 1935, as the ten years after. Granting then it IS needed, how much better to build it NOW when the cost to the city will not be $140,000, but only $80,000, a net saving of $60,000 including the interest. In other words how much better business, to build this need ed improvement when it will it will cost if built at ANT future That indeed is the main argument for building this reservoir now. Jt is needed, jf omit now ine government win donate $65,200 for the construction, if will have to stand THE ENTIRE NOW for one of the arguments rtnnr.rnrv In flip, fnnts. It is claimed the new reservoir or prevent the raising of the present rates that without the now reservoir insurance rates have been going down anyway. Insurance rates in this state Insurance Eating Bureau. Here letter written by James M. McCune, manager of that rating bureau, to the city of Medford, regarding this very question: "A aingle break in the present 30.4 miles of the new system would leave the city with the present 4.031.000 gallons storage. ' ... If the new reservoir is constructed with a capacity of 10,000, 000 gallons It will offset the Increased (risk) due to the aban donment of the old Fish-Lake system. ... If the (Pish Lake) system Is abandoned WITHOUT the additional storage. 4 percent Increase in the fire Insurance rates of mercantile buildings and their oontenta will be reflected ..." , That certainly settles the insurance anglo of the problem. The Fish Lake water line has to prohibitive cost of putting the old This insurance item alone this addition to tho reservoir desirable. In fact over a period of . . time tne saving in insurance mignt pay ior mo entire cost, re- gardlcss of the protection afforded against a water famine and a devastating fire. Hero is another argument against the new reservoir, taken at random: "Do you realise that soon we will repay an old debt of about 30.000 that was borrowed by the city to build the origins! water tank and water aystem when Medford took water out of Bear creek ... On that $30,000 we have paid mpre than 930,000 , In Interest alone." This merely shows how ignorant the opponents of the mea sure are of the facts. The water commission paid off these bonds several years ago, and established a sinking fund which will pay off $195,000 in other water bonds in 19H8. That $30,000 debt no longer exists, yet it is used as an argument against voting for this reservoir addition. QO one might go on indefinitely. No valid arguments against building this addition to the city reservoir have been pre sented, because there is none. With the abandonment of the Fish lako supply Medford must, have an increased water reserve. Now is the time to build it, for the government will give the city $65,200 for the ex pense, and if this money is not accepted by the people of Medford now, IT WILL NEVER BE AVAILABLE AGAIN. We fail to see how any citizen of Medford, in POSSESSION OF ALL THE FACTS, could do otherwise than vote for the construction of this needed improvement at this time. It is so obviously to his own interest and the interest of the city to do so. imd (Continued from Page One) Whether the rumor Is true or not. the result la the same.

' Nursing le a bit over crowded. Since 1900 .the general p o p u latlon In creased 62 per cent, while the number, of grad uate - tralne'd nuraea Increased 3,374 per tcent. Is this prod igious superflu ity of nuraes due to a great - de mand (or then services?-' Don't laugh, folks, thousands of nurses are suffering in dire want. , Well, then, how come so many women are inveigled into this glor ified .slavery? First we must charge off rather more than SO per cent of it to the innate nobility of womankind. Of course ' motherhood la the greatest career to which a woman can aspire, but she has to be chosen for that. Nursing la a fine alternative for the young woman who la fit but not fated for motherhood. This does not imply that there Is any dearth of marriage material In , the ' nursing business; on the contrary these wo men are practically the . only class of, women with education and- train ing which prepares" them for moth erhood. Something sublime In a woman's nature accounts for the fact that she is a nurse. Then put down another 10 per cent of It against the romance and glamour which surrounds the hos pital training ofnurses. if this in centive is infinitesimal In some in stances, no need to get Indignant about it, fat it Is surely a consid erable factor in many Instances, and perhaps fortunately so, for without the sentimental Influence nursing would be a forbidding car eer indeed. Finally charge 30 or 35 per cent of It to the lure of the training school, which Is conducted by every large hospital. The nurse training school offers special education, pro fessional or technical training, plus free maintenance for the student while training. No years of tuition, no board bill to pay, no expensive clothes to buy. no sorority . skul duggery to contend with, and a rosy prospect of a Job when the school course is finished. After the Intelligent, vigorous, healthy young woman enters upon training, she finds that the hours of work are long, the work largely sheer drudgery, and often her duties Comment on the ' Day's News By FRjNK JENKINS ' PLENTY of war newa in the pap-ers-rmuch' of It bsdly confused and hard to believe. That's what cornea of censorship. If honest correspondents were per mitted to send out honest news, the public would know what was going on, Instead of having to guess. ic SOMETHING to remember: It the government ever gets its hands on the newspapers, so that there la no longer a free press, 'the PEACE news will be as badly con fused and as unreliable aa the war newa now Is. Government bureaucrats, If they had the opportunity, would censor the news aa ruthlessly as military leaders. e4 THIS report Is Interesting: Black shirt force fires on Brit ish. Unconfirmed report from British 8omalllsnd describes skirmish on frontier. If that is true. It may start some thing. ANOTHER Interesting report: "A high French authority atat ed late today (Thursday) that Pre mier Laval, backed by the French cabinet, probably will agree Monday to the British demand for armed aid in the Mediterranean In case ttalv attacks the British fleet sta ttoned there." A somewhat later, and perhaps franker, report from Psria say 7? DREARY CAREEH expoae her to the contracting disease gravest risk of which may ln- capacitate her for life. For example, consider the terrible price all those young nurses In Los Angeles are paying, courageous and faithful wo men who were stricken with Infan tile paralysis while nursing victims of the disease and never a move or a thought on the part of the wretched public, to pension them. If they were policemen , or soldiers disabled In line of duty they would be properly compensated. But who cares about the fate of mere nurses? I should advise any young woman who contemplates the study of nurs ing to think twice. The hospital training courses are usually three years. Two yeara to train the nurse then one year of her professional service free to the hospital. It la a great racket for the hospital, but a sad exploitation of womanhood nevertheless. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Wetting the Hair I am 29 yeara old, and my hair Ii getting thin. Bava always hsd troublbe with oily scalp and dan druff. Hai my habit of wetting the hair anything to do with thla? (T. M. L.) Answer Frequent wetting tends to remove the natural oil, and ao Is not objectionable unless the hair and scalp lack thla natural hair dressing. Send stamped envelope bearing your address, for - mono graph: "Care of the Hair and Con trol of Dandruff." Application to the scalp, dally or aa needed, of a pom- j ade made of ten grains salicylic acta and ten to twenty grains precipi tated aulphur to the ounce of soft petrolatum, is a good .remedy for dandruff.

But be tween the Ironic lines Is tha home spun fealty of every up-tha-hollow resident for his particular wide place In the road. What appears travesty Is nstlve pride.

And those of us from the Hot Spots are not ao certain, after the roll of years, they are not right. . , The born city man haa never felt the brand of nelghborllnees that ex ists nowhere aave in these somewhat forlorn and straggly outposts. The very isolation may engender a tender consideration, something real and splendid the city somehow muffs. I have run the population gamut, hav ing lived In towns from 3000 to 18,000, In cities from 100.000, to 400,000 and the biggest. New York. For serenity of living and warm contact the Hot Spots are top rung.. There la a tangled akein of thought that life In these remote burgs hss a maddening monotony. The squlrrel-ln-the-cage routine. Th same morn ing bows, the limited business con tacts, the same faces at the postoftlce, the front poroh tedium and cricket on the hearth evenings. Nothing ever turns up save relatives on a visit. I anything more monotonoua than the noisy aubway to office and home again grind of the metropolis? It haa literally worn millions down to a smileless smugness and constant sus ptclonlng. It has been so long ago that 1 cannot remember, If ever, hear ing a group of laughing pedestrian! such as you meet every few blocks in a small town. In the blgtown they muat concentrate to escape wheels of taxla, busses, autos, and a dozen more perils that plague the highways. I wss Interested a season or so ago In the reaction of a city audience to a barnyard touch In a Don Marquis play. The scene waa early morning In a Holy Land village. A stage silence and a full-throated crow of a rooster in startling bravado. A simplicity became goose-flesh drama. A hark back that cut to the quick. So much so that at the finish there was s furious thunderclap of applause. People had been suddenly transplant ed, by a waft of the theatre magic, to their particular Hot Spot and those Inspiring mornings suddenly pierced by a shrill cock-adoodle-do. It's easy to Jeer: "If you like the hick town so well, there's a train leaving eery five minutes. And don't forget your spats I" The truth Is none of the expatriated wants to return.
