In the hotel coffee shop, for breakfast ran into Hob Deuel and Moose Muirhead, both looking very fresh and frisky. With Heine Fhihrer and Bud Hayes they had flown to Spo kane in the Muirhead-Fluhrer ship, where snow, rain and low clouds had delayed their departure. So they (these two) came down by train and Hob has just left by motor for home. Envy no one motoring or flying in this weather. Give us the train. (Don't mention it, Rosey!) Walked down to the dock see the German cruiser Emden A trim, speedy looking ship, with Hitler s swastika flag, hang ing limp at the masthead, and the deck literally swarming with white jacketed middies. A group on the bow was being ad dressed by an officer, who standing on a gun platform, tow ered above them, his voice coming out crisp and clear, in ap proved military fashion. There were other small active groups from stem to stern. Some engaged in gun drills, others in signal practice, still others making observations or going through the motions others were busy with ear phones, and swinging an anti-aircraft gun up and down. A striking example of Ger man precision and industry. No one admitted on the ship until tomorrow, but for obser vation purposes, a place on the dock was as satisfactory as on the deck, only a single step separated them. An officer at the gang plank, proved very amiable questions. He spoke English w:th only a slight accent. These lads in white, he explained, are cadets in training. They arc in their early 'teens and looked it, some only about 14 or 15 but well set up, pink cheeked and alert. One hundred fifty-five of them in all. The ship in addition has 30 officers and a crew of 640. They left Germany last October, came through the canal and will go to Honolulu from here. The Emden was the first battle cruiser built after the war, launched in 1925. There is only one other1 training ship in the German navy the Karls ruhe. Yes, they had heavy weather up the coast, and the Emden built like a yacht for speed, gave the middies a tough work out. Were any or them sea sick T "Sure all of them, so were some of the old hands. Glad to get on dry land again. Everyone likes Portland." e . . When the ship came up the Willamette yesterday with the ship band playing the Star Spangled banner and "Die Wacht am Rhine" a group of Portland radicals including several stu dents from Reed college, staged a riot in protest against Hitler and the Nazis. It didn't amount to much, but for the sake of the proprieties (and publicity), the police made some arrests the offenders being taken to court and promptly released. It probably wasn't a very tactful thing to ask the officer if ho had heard of this incident. He shook his head, said nothing, and in h few moments, saluted, turned on his heel and walked away. Another officer soon took his place and motioning in the gen eral direction of your correspondent asked everyone to move back. ee.es We know less about cruisers than deep sea diving, but this Emden, spio and span, with brass glistening, long guns poking through their turrets, and an atmosphere of alertness and ef ficiency about, was impressive. An American sailor boy on the dock, from the U, S. S. Charleston volunteered the information, that it was mora a training than a fighting ship, and Germany's present naval strength will rest in its toy battleships, U-boats, scooters and fighting sea planes. Sounds reasonable. . . . There was almost a pathetic note in the general spectacle, not only at the dock but later up town. . There was such an obvious desire to please. The Emden was decorated from bow to stern with Christmas greens and according to the morning papers, when Captain Bachmnnn, called on Mayor Carson yes terday, something was said about "peace on earth, good will to men." Last night at the movies a couple of officers from the Emden went in just ahead of us, and when the pretty little usherette advanced to greet them with her scarlet coat and blue pantaloons, it was amusing to see tbem, salute and click their heels. The usherette was so impressed she nearly fell over. Later when a couple of them went out while the show was still going on, they wero extremely polite and apologetio to those forced to rise in their scats. It is a good will tour. Hut with the radicals against them because they are Nazis, and the conserv atives raising their eyebrows because they are Germans, it must be rathor an uphill struggle. Portland has a most excellent symphony orchestra and it was "indeed a pleasure" to hear them last night, particularly one of our favorites, Isoldes death song from Tristan. Ono of the disadvantages in living bo far away from Portland is the inability to hear really fine miisio more often. If present plans go through, however, the Portland Orchestra will give a cou cert in Mcdford some timo nest month. Here's hoping. A most creditable organization. "The King is dead, Long live the King I" King George do parts, King Edward the Vllt takes up the reins, the first bach elor king since George HI. King George V started out as ono of tho most unpopular monarchs, but came to be one of the m-st popular, highly beloved and respected throughout his realm, thanks to his good common sense, good judgment and sincere devotion to tho best interests of his people. In contrast, the new King as Prince of Wales, enjoyed and still enjoys, the most extraordinary personal popularity. Will history by any chance repeat itself in REVERSE, will the second baoholo'r king, see the disintegration of the British empire, as the former one, saw the loss of the colonies in America! Who can toll? For the sake of world pence and the survival of modern civil ization it is to be hoped the British Empire will remain intact, and a closer union between the English speaking people, Great Britain and the United States, may be possible. As we see it, it is the best and perhaps the only hope for the world. This much is certain, if the new King lives as long as his father, his reign will bo a most EVENTFUL one. ..... Didn't learn of the death of Judge Colvig, until this morn ing, he having passed away, it appears, the day we left homo. A grand old man physically and mentally his mind being keen and alert up to the very end. The last time we saw him he recited a long passage from Shakespeare without missing a word, with perfect understanding and a fine sense of drama. He could talk interestingly on a score of subjects, and unlike so many men who live long after the three score and ten, he nrtrr lost interest in contemporary events. What a privilege to have lived so long, to have gotten so much pleasure out of life, and to have given so much to others. ..... The fog has lifted and the sun shining again in a clear blue sky. The downtown streets nro full of Emden blue jackets, striking along in groups of three and four. A smart, healthy, fine looking lot, with their funny round hats and long ribbons hanging down their shoulders. When an officer passes there is much Nazi saluting. A traffic eop at the corner of Broadway and Washington is also saluted. The lads appear to be havinu a fine time. Here are tho war and prut-wnr babies, now young men. Ona speculates as to what tlio future holds for them. Th Ger man navy started the 1!)J0 revolution will these pink rheeked la Is perchance, start another one! R. W. H. P.

Beverly THE GREAT AL For while nearly every null brought a number of letters from school children who want authorita tive Information About the effects of alcohol. From the specific char acter of the ques- tljns In these let- t e r a, I suspect there Is a. great debate approach ing. Phyllis requests 1 n t ormatlon rn alcohol as stimulant and as a medicine. That's easy. Al cohol is not a stimulant. It Is a. de pressant and a narcotic, but It never stimulates. There Is no scientific or even com mon sense argument to support the notion that alcohol has any health value. The use of alcohol by physicians, a narcotic or as fuel in a limited aegree, Is strictly a medical question, not one which school children can discuss or debate Intelligently or to advantage. I think some of the funny things we were taught as school children, concerning alcohol. were injurious, and the plain truth properly taught might have done tiood,- . : If the so.iool children must have arguments about the effects of alcohol physicians and scientific folk In general liave no arguments about It the chapter on alcohol In Fisher Mid Flsk's 'How to Live" (Funk Sc W agnails, publisher) will give them considerable Ammunition. This book Is available In every library. When Jose of alcohol Is large enough to cause sny appreciable change In the circulation it Is in variably In ..h- nature of depression rather the,) stimulation. ; For In stance, the brief sensation of In creased warmth and the surface flushing are due to depression of the vasomotor nerves which control the arterioles, the minute vessels relax and the worm blood from the vital centers and Internal organs rushes to the surface where It remains long er than it should. That in part ac counts for the well-known suscep tibility tc freezing when a person ex posed to seveie cold takes alcohol In any form. The d.f.

Depression or benumbing of tho higher brain centers accounts for the NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mcintyre NEW YORK, Jan. 33. Book lovers are In a lather about crazy titles. They are annoyed by the fad not only to m a k tho ;T"",Tp'a name- of a book allusive but In In stances to bestow n o m.e a n 1 n g whatever on the text. For exam text. A atrlklng example: Duran ty'a "I Write as I Please." Yet he confeesea In his book he does not write as he plenscs. Many bibliophiles believe "Robin son Crusoe" Is the moat satisfying of titles. Defoe started the vogue of naming hla volume for the central character. And It haa been followed by Fielding, Scott and many.othera along with the modern Sinclair Lewis with "Doda worth." Wlnnlfred King Rudd, ' who has made a study of titles psst and pres ent, finds that Jane Austen started twin titles with "Pride and Preju dice," followed by "Wives snd Daughters," etc. My personal choice for top in titles Is "Death In the Afternoon," the bull fight book by Hemingway, Th. poet Shelley has been Inspira tion for msny titles. Such as "If Winter Comes" and "A Dome of Many Colored Glasses." There can be no lawsuits over the name of a book. A title cannot be copyrighted, A title may annoy readera but rarely the publishers.

LTINO GEORGE of England, .ruler -TV (strictly limited) of 600 million British subjects. Is dead. His death does not affect the Me, the liberty or th. security of any of the 600 million. It was radically dlf. ferent BOO years ago. Then th. death of the king and the quality of his successor affected SHARPLY the outlook of EVERY subject. The world , hss changed great!; In these 500 years, snd for the bet ter.

It will cost two and a half BIL LION dollars, and! Is to be paid In bonds, which means that It Is to be added to WHAT WE OWE. No provision has been made to rslse the money to pay the bonds, f TJOW will they be paid? 1 A Well, posterity will have to shoulder that load. The burden on the shoulders of posterity Is being steadily Increased. ITS exceedingly unpopular to say A so, because we're still In the spending spree and haven't yet reached the paying atage, but the more the government takes In taxes the less each of us will have left for himself. (Please don't get the Idea that this writer thinks this country Is headed for ruin. It ISNT. We, in cluding posterity, are still young enough and strong enough ss a na tion to shoulder the burden that is being placed upon us and GET AWAY WITH IT. But It would be easier, and we could go FARTHER AND FASTER, If the burden were kept within reason Instead of being recklessly Increased.) ltTOTE this paragraph from an As- 1 soclated Press dispatch, for It Is Interesting: ' "The league of 'nations committee of 13 decided today (Monday) It had no authority to accede to Ethiopian requests for a neutral commission of Inquiry and tor financial assist ance In the war with Italy." THB league of nations, quite brash J. and chesty a couple of months ago, Is weakening perceptibly. No sanctlona, you will note, have been Imposed against Italy. The story Is going the rounds now that the great nations of Europe feel thst It would be a calamity u BLACK Ethiopia should administer a defeat In the field to whit. Italy, aa that might put wrong notions In th. heada of other black peoples. Whatever you do, don't make the mistake of believing that the nations Included In th. league have acted at any time from any motlvea other than COLD SELFISHNESS. Communications Jonathan Bourne Opposes Bill To the Editor: Jonathan Bourne, Jr., formerly of Oregon, now a realdent of Washing ton. D. was the father of the Ore gon primary law. His message, sent to Oregon on the eve of the January 31 election. Is a most convincing ref utation of the arguments now being brought forward to hoodwink the vot ers Into changing the date of the pri mary election from May to Septem ber. The three hundred word limit pre vents giving his entire mwsage, but I may present portions of It as fol lows: "For several decades the Ore gon electorate have blazed the trail for popular government. Oregon was the first state to adopt a presidential primary law, which was tn 1911. thereby enabling th electorate to se lect their choice In their respective parties for the presidential and vice presidential nomination. Following Oregon's action, over twenty other states adopted some form of a presi dential preference primary. "Ultimately, X hope and believe that every state in the union will adopt a virile, effective presidential preference primary law, so that dele gates to the .national conventions will become merely "messenger boys" snd have no voice whatever under the mandate of their respective electorate in selecting candidates for the presi dency and vto presidency, after a conatiiutkiiU amendment has been enacted permitting the states to take such action. "From the national standpoint, I consider this the most Important ac tion that can be taken to preserve our present form of government. It Is Inconceivable that the Oregon electorate. In the special election held on the 31st of this month, will de stroy their good work of 1011 and postpone the presidential primary date from May to September. Hold ing a presidential preference primary In May, prior to th national conven tion. givs Oregon an opportu nity of helping name our president or vice president No more conclusllve statement could be mad regarding House BUI 301 -.

The other two entries will split most of the rest, with Hoover hav ing a few. Note A poll conducted by a Wat ertown newspaper covering the north. era portion of the state recently showed Gov. Landon of Kansas with 60 per cent of the vote. Borah was second. Hoover third. Here, In Syracuse, you can find some of the Important particulars In the national bill of health. The generalities which you may have heard about relief, unemployment, business and politics can be re duced to specific provable funda mentals. No. 1--The business outlook has perked up considerably since the turn of the year. One large factory Is about to reopen and there is talk of reopening another. General Motors closed up Its branch here when the depression slide started. It employed 3000 men at the pre- depresslon peak. Now It will open up on a smaller scale (employing about 300 at the start) to make headlights and fenders. The old Franklin car was made here, until the depression stopped It, Now some negotiations are sup posed to be under way, looking toward resumption of production, These things make the local peo ple think In entirely different terms than they have been thinking for the past few years. The Syracuse relief load has been cut from a 1034 peak of 40.000 per sons to about 25.000 currently. That means It haa been reduced about half. If General Motors and Frank lin could hit their peak, the entire relief roll could be absorbed. Ol course, this Is not In early prospect. The population of the city Is about 330,000. Thus about 10 per cent now Is on relief. The method and burden of handling them Is a main toplo of political and private discussion. Local WPA office was organized last July, but dallied until Octo ber. Real activity did not begin until a week before the election last November. Then 4000 reliefers were transferred to work. What they are doing now Is most ly outdoor boondoggling, fixing up tne partes, manicuring the trees. Tne county has had one really worth while project, a sewage disposal plant. The city could do without the rest. The connection between relief and politics seems to hsve been de veloped along thoroughly practical lines. The mayor, .Roland B. Marvin, Is a Republican, and In constant dis agreement with WPA. He Is serving his fourth consecutive term, and his friends say he will run for the Republican guberatorlal nomination. Mayor Marvin Is mourning because the city cost of handling 5300 re lief cases this year la higher than the cost of handling 9000 cases last year under direct relief. So much goes for materials. Also there are technical difficulties. WPA Is In charge of a new deal administrator who has been quoted as saying he would fire anyone U the color of his necktie was un satisfactory. But there was some trouble Just before the last election when new dealers were canvassing voters and a few Jobs were offered In return for votes. It would not have been so bad if they had not approached a Republican alderman (Harry Oa- trander, 14th ward) and suggested he could get Into a relief Job by voting for the Democratic mayoralty candidate. You can Imagine what he said. and how loudly ha Is still saying it.
