Rise Above the Fog WE admit this continued tog it not go good. But in the foothills along the Applcgate and the Crater Lake high way, the sky is clear and the sun is shining. Foggy weather iu Medford, means fair weather over most of southern Oregon. And don't forget this. While winter fog has iU drawbacks, it doesn't freeze your pet dog stiff in his tracks. It doesn't freeze your car or the kitchen water pipes. Nor does it leave suffering and death in its wake, as have recent blizzards and sub-zero weather in the East and Middle West. So don't let this fog get you down. Take a survey of the rest of the country and appreciate your blessings. Climatically this is the worst period of the? year in Medford, but all values are relative. So, just rise above the fog, where you can gain a proper perspective, and you will agree, that year in year out, considering its variety and invigorating healthful qualities, southern Oregon has the best all around climate in the country. F. D. Vetoes the Bonus PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT vetoes the bonus bill. The House " promptly over-rides his veto. The Senate will undoubtedly do the same tomorrow, and the measure authorizing immediate payment of the bonus will become the law. What is the answer! WHY has every president, since the world war, regardless of party vetoed a bonus; and the congress in every instance made a desperate attempt to over-ride that veto, which now for the second time has succeeded. This is the answer. Our presidents have considered what is best for the country, ALL the country, the congress has con sidered what is best for themselves, POLITICALLY. It is the perennial struggle between statesmanship and practical politics; between what will promote the general welfare and what will get votes. TIE most familiar argument heard in favor of immediate rtfll'mpnt nf triA hnnna Hiw 4Tiaca nrhn nnnnca If in m.mn!nla I ' - W..UU "J "'"OS ...... IV ' " J" 1 1. ..,(', V., but refuse to oppose it, under existing circumstances), is that under an administration that is spending billions so lavishly, and foolishly a couple of billions cal difference. Everyone is fretting a slice whv discriminate against the ex-service men. Let everyone get theirs while the getting is good, etc., etc' HPIIIS strikes us as a most EXTRAORDINARY argument. It is equivalent to maintaining two wrongs make a right. If spending government billions for general relief is wrong, then spending billions for special benefits to a minority must be "MORE WRONG." Those who oppose added federal spending in one direction, should at Jeust be consistent and oppose it in any other direction. OUT there is another point to be considered, which the prcsi " dent in his original veto message, last year, brought out so clearly. (And incidentally we consider that message one of the greatest state papers ever written on the subject of a bonus.) Whether the vast expenditures by the government, to keep citizens from suffering and starvation, and to prime the pump of business recovery, have been wise or unwise, beneficial or the reverse, no one can deny they HAVE been spent to benefit the oountry AS A WHOLE and every person in it. The funds have been allocated on a per capita, basis, and not for the benefit of a special group. But this bonus is for the benefit of a special group. And as the president, well said, "the credit of the United States is now safe, but it can not ultimately be made safe if we engage in a policy of yielding to each and all of the groups that arc able to enforce upon the congress, claims for special considera tion." VTIIEN the national debt was 15 billions, added demands upon the federal treasury, represented an entirely differ ent problem, than it now represents when because of the worst depression in all history, tho national "debt, has reached 30 bil lions, and threatens to go to 85 or 401 It was not any lack of sympathy with the ex-service men of this country that prompted the president's action, or lack of appreciation for the self sacrificing and ratriotio service they had performed. Ho declared not ouly would the government do everything to help the ex-aerviee man suffering and in need, provide generously for his rehabilitation and care, but in the general relief work, throughout the country, preference to the ex-service men had been given and would always be given. But with millions of citizens unemployed, with the resources of the country strained to the breaking point, in an effort to take care of them, with not increased comfort but actual exist ence at stake for millions, the president felt, an added burden of two billion dollars, upon the taxpayers at suoh a critical time should not be imposed, for the benefit of any particular group, many of whom were gainfully employed and comfortablv some even luxuriously situated. The president's argument was, and still is, unanswerable. But Hides is politics, votes are votes, and as far as the battle of the bonus is concerned President Roosevelt has lost. One can only hope for the best and trust that the principles of peace time patriotism, whieh the prcsi.lent so clenrlv enunci ated in that original bonus message, may eventually be sustained. Communications A Momentous Year. To the aVIItor: Permit me to writ a few words on shove suhlev-t. Curloaity is a airong trait In the humsn mske-up. Most of us llae to know "What's What." coupled with a great desire to peer Into the future. And psrtlculsrly ao at a time like this when we are enter ing a "new age," and out whole tiny planet, and everything on It. ss It were, In the melting pot. Vast rbaneee. are Impending, so much ao that within, say. two or three yesrs. this old world will be unrecognisable. Thle Implies, first, the destruction of the destructive elements In mankind: then nature becoming msster over man In plsce of msn being master over nature, as In norms! times; the dissppesr snce of great trscts of land, and the reeppesrsnce cf others from the ocean bed. Former allies In war wlU more or less makes no practi become enemies, snd vice versa. This time It is to be Clod's victory, not men's. Then will come the readjustment, snd a resl snd serious attempt to live the Christ principles. There win also be the enjoining of religion with science, which wm be the beginning of the grand awakening. But pages could be written on this Interesting subject; spsr. however, la limited. Just thli, nnslly: According to Nu msrology the yesr lose U lo be a momentous one. It I, a aenlth year, and the numbers, 0, s and e are all on the spiritual pisne of con sciousness.

The fracture healed wonderfully, aa she says, but after she began to walk about she began to have severe at tacks of pain, which two fine physicians At til -buted to Btom ach trouble or Indigestion. Thry prescribed sttlct "1 1 I diet. On this le I strlcted diet ah TV':r dwindled from astir- I 225 PundB 10 fTIV less than 00. Still .t. ... 11 ths oalns. and now sue noticed a bunch as large as her fist In the right groin. When the pain ceased the bunch disappeared. Doctor said It was gas. And so for s year or more. Pain and bunch more frequent. One day Mrs. "Ben Told" assured her the bunch wss a hernia, patient went to truss fitter, had contraption fitted, faithfully wore It, but attacks con tinued and bunch would come out in spite of truss. Finally she wrote me, to Inquire about the ambulant treat ment of hernia. Before visiting the doctor I suggested she prudently write a relative of hers who Is a prominent surgeon In another state. He said he knew nothing about am bulant treatment. He urged her to submit the matter to Dr. Nevermlud- thensme, who Is president of bis state medical society. Dr. N. told her he knew little about ambulant or In jection treatment but he did know of a local physician who had employ ed It successfully In some cases, aud he advised her to consult that physl -clan. She went to the physician Indi cated, and now, six months later, sht writes to thank me, says she Is all cured, hasn't a bit of trouble any more, Is so happy, haa been examiner by Dr. Nevermind thename who pro nounces It a perfect cure. Another Interesting Incident she says her relative, the surgeon In another state, has gone to learn the technic of the ambulant method from another phy sician who teaches It In his clinic. All the physicians who figured In the lady's story are real doctors. They are not so hot at writing or at de livering speeches, perhaps, but they are all outstanding men in their communities. Evidently they are njt purblind toward new developments, and that Is one reason why they win and hold the confidence and loyalty not only of their patients but of their colleagues. Now contrast that attitude with the attitude of an omniscient Utile fellow whose assumption makes his employers look ridiculous. A surgeon of the highest standing submitted to the Jour. American Medical Associa tion a polite protest or rejoinder to a reply to a query on the Injection lngs. wo do not require to look far afield, for it Is closer than breath ing. It Is to be found only in the silence of our being, not in out ward shouting and manifestation, which Is antt-Chrlst. Every letter, every number. In our language Is symbolic of some thing peculiar to Itself. And so, the significance of each Individual fig ure making up the 1936, is as fol lows, and It would be well to make such the keynote of our thoughts and actions throughout this year: Number 1: "Indlvldualfa) . Num ber 9: Use your "High Philosophy.' Number 3 : "Render Service "; and number 6: by "bringing down spir itual knowledge to humanity." Or. to run it Into a consecutive expres sion: Let each Individual bring Into action the highest philosophy ol which, he or she Is capable: and render sr.tvlee to humanity by bring ing down spiritual knowledge, and making It operative in mundane life. And remember that although we cannot serve Ood and man (two masters), we can always serve the Ood In man. Trusting these few words will cause aome to think over the deeper problems of life.

OD METHOD DOWN treatment of hernia which had been published In the magazine. It bad always been the custom of the maga zine to give fair consideration to such rejoinders and to print them when they comply with the requirements. But not sines the omniscient one has taken charge. This was the stere otyped answer mailed back to the surgeon with his rejoinder: Just as soon as their (sic) ap pears In scientific medical periodi cal literature a sufficient amount of evidence to establish the real clinical value of the Injection method in the treatment of hernia ws will be glad to give it suitable recognition. With tongue In cheek tha versatile editor probably grinned to - himself "Try and got It printed in anything I'll recognize as scientific periodical medical literature 1" Well, anyway, I get an umbilical laugh out of all this. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS X-Kay and Sterility Does exposure of the abdomen and the back to x-ray, for serial study of digestion, cause sterility? . . . (Mrs. O. B.) Answer No. There Is no danger Involved In having X-ray negatives made. Repeated exposure to X-ray over a considerable period of time may cause temporary sterility In man or woman. Fine for Teacher Teacher In public school has to run up and down stairs (24 steps) at least ten times a day. Principal pants for dear life when she climbs the same steps slowly, but would never think of making It easier for the teacher (gym teacher), the gymnasium being on third floor. Is this likely to injure the heart or harm health In any way? . . . (8. P.) Answer On the contrary. It Is fine for the teacher's heart aDd health. Even a gym teacher needs a reason able amount of exercise to balance the strain on her patience and endur ance. Too bad that principal can't be compelled to follow the gym teacher around for one or two days a week. It would be fine medicine for her flabby, obese heart, too. Reminds me of the fuss made in Hlckvllls on the Hudson over the teacher who was re fused a Job because she was a bit too j heavy.

I 'Vitr I NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre NEW YORK, Jan. 35. I hope they are satisfied. They've finally dragged me off to the photographers. With all my worries I must sit here and simper. If they display a print of It In the cabinet outside I know a dandy caption: Droopy Trousers at Bay I Or with my dandruff I could shake my bead and they . could use It for one of those end pieces In the .Saturday Evening Post: Snow Scene In the Himalayas. I know now why Hal Phyfe wears Indian moccasins. So he csn sneak up on you. Next time he yanks my head I'm going to clap my hands sharply and say, "See here now i" He says he wants to get a shot that has verve and eclat. Well, thla Is not my day for vennng. Or eclating either. Indeed I feel one of my dour moods coming on. Gaze right through herel Notice those grim lines. I had those before my 1929 crying spell. Right after the crash. A fellow with a phiz like tnlne should have Gary Cooper for a stand In. The last time I was photographed they had me leaning on a cane look ing soulful and I had to threaten to sue a patent medicine concern. They were using it for a kidney piU ad. You know, before taking I Whenever a photographer begins to lurk I know he Is stumped. And he's been lurking all over the studio. Popping out trying to catch me off guard. Why can't I look sullen. If I choose? Who wants to see my face anyway? Nobody, that's who. I told you I'd be crying In a minute. Well, your photograph taken for everybody to snicker at that's what. Go on, snap me through my tears. It will be the last picture you or anyone else will take. And stop that crouching. I think I'll tell him about standing too close to that open fire at Dick Berlin's and scorching the nap off my new brown Earl Benham overcoat. Maybe I can start him crying, too. If he got to sobbing he might stop lurking. I suppose this lump In my throat will show up like a goitre. But It doesn't matter. What does anything matter? This bright and beautiful wintry day with everybody gay that's almost poetry bright and beautiful day with everybody gay. Now I've lost the thread. That shows my state of mind. On top of every thing I have to lose the thread. Speaking of thread, did your grand mother ever send you to the genernl store for a spool of Clarke's O. N. T. No. 40? I must grow calm. Suppose Lily Pons or some of the girls came in and saw me In a trantrum. I'll straighten up, pass my hand over my face and try to look bonaire. Look, doesn't that expression suggest someone? Remember Noel Coward looking out to sea in "Private Lives?" No. I don't believe I want to look like Noey-woey. I know whom I want to look like. Give up? Gene Tun ney, that's whom. Using whom that way shows how near collapse I am. I can't stand the strain of all this much longer. Not with my one red corpuscle. Perhaps with my pallor I better try to look wistful. One of the Nar cissus boys peering coyly Into the pool wondering about the room rent or something. Once In the mirror it struck me there waa a glint of the poetical. If I could Just sadden up and borrow a flowinir tie we mlrht get somewhere yet. I'm skinny enougn ror a starved poet, Heaven knows! He's lurking again and sliding screens. Eureka! He haa it. I'm Just to rlax and hold & book. Some thing litry. The book worm nt I'll act as though Just nonchalantly turning the page, rapt in reverie. Maybe I'd better be feeling my chin. And chuck In Just a tweet of a smile. One of those Woolworth Mona Lisa versions. 3 HELD GUILTY IN NEW TORK. Jan. 35.

WINTER hits the Middle West with a sudden blast, the mercury In Chicago dropping late Wednesday af ternoon to 16 below, with prospects, the dispatches tell us, for the coldest weather- since 1872. On Christmas eve In 1873, the thermometer drop ped to 33 below. Twenty-three below In Chicago, with the wind whipping of fthe lake, is colder then people out here on the Pacific Coast can really Imagine. CHICAGO dispatches add: "Railroad trains arriving In Chi cago from the Northwest were as much as an hour late. Heavy snows which fell during the night Impeded motorists, and hotels were crowded with persons who decided not to re turn to outlying homes until the cold abated. "Frozen automobiles were abandon ed, and commuters Jammed trains, the elevated and street cars." nAILROAD men will point proudly to the fact that in emergency the trains functioned practically nor mally, carrying those whom the au tomobiles couldn't carry.
