on
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
READING this paragraph, wo blush
for our nation:
"Jack Lalt, New York newspaper
writer, asserted aat night he had
learned Colonel Lindbergh was driven
Into exile by threats that he and his
wife would be kidnaped and killed If
Bruno Richard Hauptmann Is electro
cuted." r'S untrue, probably, for Colonel
LI nd berg and his wife aren't the
scaring kind where THEY THEM
SELVES are concerned. But It's cer
tainly a shame that such things can
be aald In this country.
1 ' ' I
THIS paragraph from an Associated
Press dispatch of a few days
earlier la nearer the truth:
A close friend said Colonel Lind
bergh told him he felt he could cope
with the criminals In the United
States and with the questions of pub
licity, bue when the governor of New
Jersey became active In the Haupt
mann caM he decided to laeve the
country." v'
CRIMINALS alone Tre bad enough,
but when criminals and politi
cians get together It's TERRIBLE.
A THOUGHT:
" If the government of the Unit
ed States kept out of all the things
It haa no business to be in and de
voted Its great energies to combating
crime, which is the PRIMARY BUSI
NESS of government, conditions In
this country would be far better.
ANOTHER Interesting paragraph:
"Senator Nye, of North Dakota,
returned to hla Wnahlngton office to
day to emphaslre his belief that Sen
ator Borah Is the msn for the Re
publican Presidential nomination."
Thjjs Insignificant writer, far out In
the sticks, haa disagreed with many
statements of Senator Nye, but
AGREES with thla one.
QENATOR NYE adds:
J "While Borah Is the man for
the Republican nomination, he muat
formulate SOMETHING to taks the
place of AAA."
Why not supply and demand?
ONE more paragraph from the news
and we'll call It a dny:
"Breakage of toys runs high with
the vigorous tittle Dlonne quintu
plets, and aa they reach a more ven
turesome age new precautions are
becoming necessary. Dr. DaFoe. their
physician - guardian, haa Installed
shatter-proof glaas in the hospital
wlndowa and haa introduced un
breakable dishes and crockery Into
their cupboard."
It's pleasing to learn that In spite
of mountains of publicity, they're

Book Reviews
MEXICAN ODYSSEY
The best book we have seen this
year on Mexico la "Mexican Odyssey,"
by Heath Bowman and Stirling Dick
inson, published by Wlllett Clark &
Company. Bowman and Dickinson,
two young Princeton graduates, the
first & writer, the second an artist.
decided to buy a second-hand flivver
and hop into it, and see what they
could see the other side of the Rio
Grande. They saw, aa the saying
goes, "a plenty," and It haa all been
put between the covers of a book of
less than 300 pages, attractively Il
lustrated by 70 characteristically Mex
ican block prints by Dickinson. To
anyone contemplating a trip to Mex
ico, particularly by motor, the book
would be Invaluable as a reference
and guide. Not that there la any ef
fort to provide statistical Informa
tion, or adopt the guide book manner.
Quito the reverse. There is no effort
to do ANYTHING but relate the ex
periences of these two young men aa
they chugged around Mexico, from
November until April, while the
speedometer clicked up seven or eight
thousand miles . , . exactly as they
occurred. But these experlencea are
extremely Illuminating and instruct
ive not only as to the practical mo
toring problems in Mexico today, but
as to the character of the people and
the nature of the country itself.
The chief appeal of the book la its
absence of all pretentiousness pose
either the writing up or writing
down, that characterizes so many
books of modern travel. For two chaps
so young and we presume relatively
Inexperienced thla entire freedom
from self consciousness, and the very
apparent honesty and sincerity, of
tholr reportorlal efforts ts a very un
usual combination, and a very re
freshing one.
There Is plenty of the ardor and
freshness of youth In the book, but
tho reader la soon convinced that
Moasera. Dickinson and Bowman have
a couple of well informed and un
usually adult minds under their re
cently ncqulrcd Mexican sombreros;
and a quartet of eyes that can not
only see beauty, but the essential
quality in things, from landscapes
and cathedrals to the men, women
nnd children of our Interesting neigh
bor on tho south.
Just aa the temptation to do a
little Imitation Hemingway haa been
carefully avoided, so haa the tempta
tion to draw conclusions and pontifi
cate. The book is not a study,
nor la Mexico treated aa a
problem. Mexico la merely treated as
a large, picturesque and entirely "dif
ferent" country, sharing a Inrgo por
tion of the northern hemisphere with
Uncle Sam, which Is exceedingly In
teresting and worth while to roam
about In. Just what Mexico, socially,
agriculturally and economically la, or
what it is destined to be, tho authors
do not attempt to say. They merely
tell of their own experiences, and re
cord their own Impreaalona, object
ively. but above all else with what one
feels Is absolute fidelity to the truth,
aa they aaw It.

PEDAGOGUES TOLD
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 38. AP)
Dr. Frederick J. Kelly of Washing
ton. D. C, told Oreon school teach
ers today that 'Jf education doesn't
find something for youth to believe
In, sooner or later youth ts going
to kick over the apple cart."
Something must be Injected Into
the school system to hold young
people steady until the world 1
ready to accept them into business
and (he professions, aald Dr. Kelly,
chief of the division of higher edu
cation of the United States office or
education.
"American students aren't bolshe
vik by learning, but a sense of fu
tility and hopelessness may over
power them unless education pro
vides something to tide them over
the gap between school and a Jh."
he told 1600 membera of tha State
Teachers association,
"It mu.st be something adequate
to their Intercuts. Perhsps it Is to
be found In vocational schooling, or
apprenticeships which will tie them
to stable Influences.
"Society h been found guilty
of neglecting youth on several
counts. It haa allowed starvation
wages to exist; it haa made no
provision for young people to lesrn
the problems of home making ana
family life: it prevent them from
marrying at the age when nature
cslls for the assumption of normal
marital and social obligations, and
It permits distracting and deiuoratir

girls talked so much about wheat
that we went so far aa to buy a
wneat grinder and a bushel of wheat.
The wheat was dirty. After making
several attempts to clean It, we fin
ally found that by putting It between
two window screens and using the
attachment on our electric cleaner
which blowa air through a steel tube
flat and narrow at the end, we could
air clean the wheat. The dust par.
tides dropped to the floor and the
bits of stalk we picked out by hand.
We put the wheat twice through
the grinder and then through our
flour sieve to separate the flour from
the husk. We use the fine flour for
all baking purposes and cook the rest
as a breakfast cereal, scorning ail
fancy breakfast foods.
The flour makes delicious muffins
and excellent gingerbread. A whole
wheat health pudding, steamed and
served with a lemon sauce is all the

Ordinary wheat as it comes from

clean enough when you are ready to

it Is good, or the wheat may be

the water through the wheat in a

FOR YEAR
TO
PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 28. (AP)
Little piggies will go to market In
lnrger numbers shortly.
The federal bureau of agricultural
economics here estimated today that
the fall pig crop In Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho nnd Montana was 33
per cent larger than the fall crop of
1034. The national Increase was about
31 per cent.
Each of the Northwest states show
ed substantial Increases In pig pro
duction, which was estimated at 398,
000 head compared with 399.000 head
the fall of 1034.
"Many hog growers reduced hog
production In 1934 below require
ments of tho government corn-hog
contract nnd are now Increasing pro
duction," snld C. J. Borum, agricul
tural statistician for Washington and
Oregon.
Replies from 1.469 hog growers of
Oregon indicated 1U 1.000 pigs were
saved from 18.000 sows farrowed from
June i to December 1 this year com
pared with 84.000 pigs saved from 13..
000 sows farrowed during the corres
ponding period last year. The bureau

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Calcium
Have been taking calcium aa you
suggested and believe it has done me
a lot of good. Can calcium cause the
arteries to harden? (G. S.)
Answer. No.
Cholesterol
Please give your opinion of the
question of cholcsterln In food as a
factor of gallstones. (O. M. R.)
Ans. I think it is a secondary fac
tor. If a factor at all. Certain foods
contain a fat-like substance called
cholesterol, and from this cholesterln
Is derived. Some gallstones contain
considerable cholesterln. The foods
which contain most cholesterol are
cream, yolk of egg, sweetbread, liver,
brain, kidney, fish roe. All animal
fats contain small amounts. The bile
In many cases o chronic cholecystitis
or gall bladder contains an excess of
cholesterln. Persona with gallbladder
trouble or gallstones should eat a
good deal of fresh fruit, fresh greens
or salad vegetables, and drink plenty
of water and roll themselves a couple
dozen somersaults every day.
Bad Breath
Please suggest the beat remedy you
know for a heavy odor from the
breath. (Mrs. W. S. E.)
Ans. Thoroughly rinse the mouth
and gargle with solution of one chlo
ramtne tablet In one ounce of water.
Do not rinse the chloramlne away

ON NEW FEES FOR
SALEM, Dec. 28. (AP) Earl Snell.
secretary of state, requested the at
torney general today to hand down
an opinion on the validity of the law
Increasing license fees on pickups and
light delivery cars.
Snell said he believed there was a
possibility the law did not reflect the
intention of the members of the leg
islature. Inasmuch as the fee on all
vehicles of this type was Increased
from $6 to $10 without making pro
vision for special farmers' license
fees, as provided in the case of other
truck type vehicles.
Numerous complaints charging pro
visions of the law were unjust and
discriminating had been received by
the motor vehicle department.
Reports received here Indicated an
upstate attorney would start a
friendly suit to nullify the provisions
of the act, especially as It applied to
the farmers' license fees.
It was pointed out that trucks
used strictly for farm purposes, with
a combined weight of 4.000 pounoa
or over, were now licensed for one
half the fee charged commercial vehi
cles, and It waa contended that the
same basis should apply to the
lighter type vehicles used for the
same pxirpose.

Important to say. A donkey, a to

From a tent, in Arizona the other
day I received a note from a lonely
valiant fighting back, to health:
once read In your column of a fel
low named Rocky Watterson
Raddy Wath acker, it's one or the
other. I know, but which?" Well, it
Is Waddy Rothacker to be precise,
It strikes me that's about as near
ly right as anyone Is about any
thing. I've yet to meet the 100 per
cent correct human. Indeed I would
shrink from meeting one who had
reached that perfectness. I have
definite hunch he would be a ter
rific bore.
I warm to people who accept a few
things by faith, too. They are moti
vated by & feeling they cannot ex
plain and despite high nosed sniffs
of the self-anointed they get along,
packing a serenity the faithless never
attain, to boot. Most drunks, hop
heads and assorted perverts I've run
across have a Jeer for the blessed
promises. Any crack-pot can make
& seriously religious fellow took fool
ish in debate. Such emotions are
not debatable. But those with faith
have a happy conviction the doubter
rerely attains.
New York Journalism has a carp
ing omniscient who frivols of his
working hours beagling for the blun
ders of his fellow writers. And his
gurgle of ecstasy In finding them
reverberates In his writings. Every
psycho-analyst knows that flaunting
such a text book auperlorlty la a fix
ation with those who feel Inferior.
It Is the oldest of the recognized
complexes.
I woi'M not care to write, even If
It were Intellectually possible, a col
umn that was air tight grammati
cally. That amacka too much of a
fear of one's audience. A dally col
umn Is not & sacredotal anthology
requiring great thought. It has a hit
and miss hurry that never attains
formality. In informality is often its
charm, if any. Readers like to feel
one-up on a spilt infinitive, mixed
metaphor or prepositional ending.
I'm quite conscious, for instance,
that beat should not be used for de
feat. But back In our country we
never inquired "Who won?' a ball
game. We asked: "Who beat?" I like
and use It when the copy reader
Isn't too nlbby.
I get a kick out of stTange and
often obsolete words, too. Not to ap
pear mentally la-de-dah. Any fool
knows 1 wangle them out of a dic
tionary at my desk side. I like them
for the way they roll off the tongue,
their euphony. I cannot recall the
topic of a single essay by the icono
clastic Brann. but I like the Hit and
pomp of his phraseology. He made
words march, lie down, and swing
on the flying trapeze. Much of writ
ing is shed carpentry and there's a
sizeable five-dollar Dodd-Mead book
to show the moat skeptical no one
has written anything Important that
has not been written before In al
most Identical language.

a freshman's correction In a Petti
coat Gulch high school. His books
are flocked with grammatical awful
ness, but Hemingway manage some
how, indeed the report Is he's alttln
pritty. He did not grease hta wares
to slide by. He festooned them with
thorns, thistles and cacti, and they
stuck.
Wilt Rogers, Ring Lardner and H.
C. Wltwer didn't do badly making
literature of Illiteracy. Neither has
Sam Hellman. Shakespeare had his
flair for redundancy. Meredith double-negatived
all over the lot and
Joseph Conrad had no knowledge of
grammar. I enjoy the works of the
masters and have probably read them
as much as many living contempor
aries. But I'm not going to try to
compete with them in the helter
skelter of a daily column even
though I could. And which, as any
one must know, I can't.

President Oetulio Vargas of Brasll

because It would not include all army
