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.

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

nmouD', of wear and tear to
which he has subjected It. That

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

under these heads: 1, Age: 3, He

Stress; fl. Alcohol; 6, Lead; 7. To

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."

He will not devalue any more of his

No devaluation or currency Infla

Thickening of the fray has left
no noticeable mark upon Mr. Roose

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.

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.

ETHIOPIA, the headline tell us,
cllm another major victory.
Th battle, an official Ethiopian
communique add, w fought on
th Web river last week, and the
Italian were ROUTED with the loss
of six tanks.
MEANWHILE, thl dispatch come
from official Italian source:
"The Italian army today clalm.o
SMASHING victory over a wrong
Ethiopian force on the Northern
front, trapping tha enemy In
cross fire of machine gun and bom
bardment by trench mortars."
WHO won, you see, all depend on
who happens to be telling the
story.
Among ordinary, common, every
day business people, uch practice
re known a LYING. Where gov
ernments are concerned, they re
termed "pychological tratgy." de
signed to uphold th morale of the
populace.
Government, you know, can do
no wrong at leat In their own
eye.
IF they'd turn half dozen good
American reporter loose down in
Ethiopia and chloroform the censors
for couple of days, we could get
at the truth of what la happening
there.
