A Shocking Tragedy MARITIME disasters are so rare these days thanks' largely to the radio, that the loss of the freighter Iowa, off the mouth of the Columbia river yesterday, with all hands on board, comes as 8 distinct shock. According to the Oregonian, in the last 87 years there have been only 87 serious wrecks off the Oregon and Washington coasts, an average of one per year. Since 1929 there have been four wrecks, near Peacock Spit where the Iowa went down. In two of these no lives were lost; in each of the other two there was but one fatality. Considering the number of ships that go in and out of the Colmnbin, and tho high and dangerous seas that prevail in thooe waters, this is a remarkable record. TIRAVEfi by sea and air have one danger in common. The nearer a ship is to land, and the nearer an airplane is to the ground, the greater the danger. And the reason is the same: a restricted area in which to maneuver for safety. Had the Iowa been able to get out to sea, no doubt the dis aster would have been avoided. But the fury of the storm broke, when it was close to shore, and the resnlts were, disas trous, thirty-four officers and men met a watery grave THE lesson to be learned from this catastrophe, the worst in recent history of Oregon shipping, appenrs fairly obvious even to a landlubber. When storm signals arc set, it is foolish to attempt crossing the bar at the mouth of the Columbia, in either direction. Better to delay a voyage 24 hours, than take a chitnee of getting naught like a rat in a trap, with only about one chance in a hundred of "dat ol debbil sen" not coming out the victor. Enjoy Winter Sports . 1X7I1EN this rain stops if it ever does, there should be a supply of snow in the mountains and foothillR, which hasn't been equalled in many years. And as good fortune would have it, this is the first year the national park service has agreed to keep the park open through out the winter. As soon as the highway is cleared, what an opportunity for winter sports for tho people of southern Oregon ! PEW people in Mcdford seem to realize the importance winter sports have suddenly taken in the recreational life of this country, particularly in the sport of skiing. In the past skiing has been a recreation for the few princi pally among the young and tho well-to-do. But in the East today, skiing has suddenly attained the gen eral popularity in winter, of tennis and swimming in summer. Each week-end, special skiing trains are run out of New York and Boston to the distant mountains. Manufacturers of skiis and skiing costumes are running night and day. So great has become the demand, that several large department stores in New York city, have put up mininture skiing slides in their sports departments, where the enthusiast can not only practice skiing, but receive expert instruction at bo much per hour. Imagine what the people of New York or Boston would give to have what Medford hag placed at her very door, at no cost whatever but a few gallons of gas. TpIE park service is to be congratulated on its decision to keep the park and highway open; we are sure the people of Medford and southern Oregon appreciate it, and as soon as the Weather Man shows some disposition to cooperate, will take full advantage of the opportunity offered them. Favors Newspapers ETTERS to store managers of the J. C. Penney company from the company's advertising department are reported to have made the following suggestions! 1. Do you want to be certain of reader interest! Then use the nowspapers. Many a circular receives only a casual glance, while the local newspaper with hundreds of general news items is read thoroughly from first to last page. 2. Do you want representation in the same shopping window that the other merchants of your town use? Then use the locul newspaper. Women, the purchasing agents of the home, read newspaper advertising daily, whereas many a circular is tossed into the waste basket without a glance. 3. Do you want fast action! Then use the newspaper. The ad that you run today, if it contains real incrohnndising news, will bring immediate results tomorrow. You can receive and sell out a consignment of merchandise with newspaper adver tising in less time than it takes to preparo a circular. 4. Do you want to be recognized as a factos of importance in your community a real hometown store! IX you do, use the newspaper it undoubtedly is a strong factor in the building of good will and acceptance by the trade. Emporia Gazette.

Back In the gay nineties p h y a 1 clans re garded man ft a sort of one hose ahay. ajid thought hi life depended mainly on the quality of the material ? I uied for build ing mm. x quuvv from the doc tors bible (Os ier 'a Practice of Medicine) : "Longevity la t vascular question, which has been well expressed In the axiom that 'a man la as old as his arteries." To a majority of men death comes primarily or secondarily through this portal. The onset of what may be called physiolo gical arteriosclerosis depends. In the first place, upon the quality of arterial tissue (vital rubber) which the Individual has In herited, and secondly upon the nmouD', of wear and tear to which he has subjected It. That the former plays a most im portant role Is shotfn in the cases In which arteriosclerosis set-. In early In life In Indi viduals In whom none of the recognized etiological factors (cahses to ych, children) can be found. Thus, for Instance. man of 38 may have the arteries of a man of 60, and a man of 40 may present vessels as much degenerated as they should be at 80. Entire families sometimes show this tendency to early ar teriosclerosis a tendency not to be explained In any other way than that In the make-up of the machine bad material was used for the tubing. More commonly the arteriosclerosis results from the bad use of good vessels." The allusions to "wear and tear" and "bad use" suggest such vague or questionable causes as "over work." "strenuous life." "targe busi ness responsibilities" and "high ten sion," These are pleasant sounding terms to cover such real causes as alcoholism, tobaccolsm, syphilis, over eating, chronic lead poisoning. After ail. medicine has advanced appre ciably since Osier's time. In a classical work on "Prognosis" published in 1016 Dr. Henry U Eisner presented a scholarly analy sis of arteriosclerosis which t deem the best text on the subject In the medical literature. Reading Eisner, aa every young doctor should, one feels that here Is wisdom, and it dispels the bad taste left In one's mouth by the steady diet of bla-bla-ln most of the half-baked medical literature of today. Dr. Eisner con sidered the cause of arteriosclerosis under these heads: 1, Age: 3, He redity; 3, Syphilis; 4, Worry and Stress; fl. Alcohol; 6, Lead; 7. To bacco: 8. Infection; 0. Occupation; 10. Overeating: 11, Mechanical strain; 12, Chemical and Toxic factors (dia betes, malnutrition or malassimila tlon and gout), and finally (welt, we needn't number this one) Hyper tension (high blood pressure). In booklet In the Little Lesson series, "Building Vitality" I have digested some of Dr. Eisner's teachings for the lay reader, but the booklet sets you back a dime and a three-cent stamped envelope bearing your ad dress, so no doubt there are many NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O.

The Martin Johnson aio THE ARTERIES. things you'll never know about arteriosclerosis. In reference to hy pertension, Dr. Eisner said: "There is a considerable period of hypertension which precedes profound changes of an organic nature In the arterial tree, which however In the majority of cases Is not recognised, because of a natural tolerance; and the al most Immediate compensation." That probably doesn't mean much to a layman. But It Implies, you should understand, that moderate elevation of blood pressure Is not necessarily harmful but very often rather beneficial. So don't get ex cited and run your blood pressure up thinking about this, unless the hypertension Is desirable to com pensate for some fault In your cir culation. Dr. Eisner regarded arteriosclero sis as a progressive NUTRITIONAL disturbance . of the arterial wall, which begins tn the lntlma or deli cate LININO of the vessel and IB preceded by HYPERTENSION. Under the heading of Chemical and Toxic factors he quoted Bruce: "... In these cases there Is malnutrition . . . tissues are starved." Today we begin to suspect that shortage of vitamins in the ordinsry diet may have something to do with-it. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

'It may or may not come within the next year. He will not devalue any more of his own accord. Inflation threats were put forward by new deal congress men solely to sober up conserva tives, cheering over the AAA de cision. The congressmen could not resist the tmptatlon. No devaluation or currency Infla tion Is planned. Thickening of the fray has left no noticeable mark upon Mr. Roose velt's countenance. Callers over the week-end noted the ruddiness ot his skin. No more than the usual characteristic nervousness was p psrent. He still blinks his eyes fre quently In a sort of squint-blink. He smokes Incessantly, twitches his cigarette holder In his fingers. Prom the front his thin hair is aa gray as the smoke which he bellows forth In large puffs (he does not In hale much). But from the back, his hair Is thicker and a brown-gray. A comparison of the photos at his inauguration and at the Jackson day dinner reflects a less striking change than might be expected. The sIm of the bonus vote In the house beapoke the Internal Joy ol congressmen at being able to cast it. Once Speaker Byrns stopped the roll call to request order becauae It waa "a most Important vote." Mr. Byrns considered It so Important he voted for the bonus himself. Afterward, fully a, down bonus con gressmen asked tho clerk how they were recorded. They did not want any mistake made about their ap proval of thia issue. About thirty-five congressmen, who voted against the bonus last year. voted for It this time. Their expla nation will be that this was a non Inflationary bill. No one knows yet whether It is or not. No method was provided. A better explanation la that this is an election year. Note The house waya and meana committee decided not to apeclfy either waya or means of raising tho bonus money in this bill. However. It eliminated the original Introduc tion of the bill, which mentioned the three veterans' organizations as the aole reason for passing the bill. The historic trouble with Demo cratic gatherings haa been that, al though the leaders try to fix things, things rarely atsy fixed. That waa what happened In the selection ol Philadelphia aa a convention site. Postmaatar Oeneral rarley origi nally fixed everything for Phila delphia. After the AAA decision, he developed a, sentimental attachment for Chicago, and fixed that This caused Senator Ouffey to tear his hair, also to wheedle more money from Philadelphia backers. At the last minute. It was apparent that Philadelphia' extra 50,000 had over whelmed Mr. Pa.iey's eentlmenui fixing for the windy city. That la why the vote was delayed. The leaders were called Into a hud dle to change signals. After 19 min utes' consultation, the third fixing of Philadelphia was made to stick. Mr. Farley was thus able to say he had been for Philadelphia all the time. Note Mr. Farley's sentimental at tachment for Chicago la supposed to have developed out of the Im probability of Mr. Roosevelt carry ing Pennsylvania. For four years, Ouffey has been telling Parley that the keystone Republican state could and would be carried. For the first three years, Parley believed him. but It took the extra 150.000 to con vince him this time.
