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.

Curloaity is a airong trait In the

with a great desire to peer Into the

Woman fell and broke her hip. 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

.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.

always been the custom of the maga

rejoinders and to print them when
they comply with the requirements.
But not sines the omniscient one

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. And look at all the cripples

He says he wants to get a shot that

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

were using it for a kidney piU ad.

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

I can't stand the strain of all this
much longer. Not with my one red

"We have had many smsll en
gagements with the Itsllans," Ras
Desta (son-in-law of Emperor Halle
Selassie and Ethiopian commander on
the south front) today telegraphed
to his emperor, "some ending to our
advantage and some to the advantage
of the enemy."
-
THE usual method is to claim
everything in sight In the wsy
of success and ADMIT NOTHING In
the way of defeat.
These Ethiopians must be a queer
lot. ,
INCORRIGIBLEcrimlnals confined
In Alcatraz, grim federal prison In
San Francisco bay, stage a revolt and
sullenly refuse to go on with their
prison tasks. They are told tersely
by Warden Johnson that they can
"work or starve."
Let's take just space enough here
to add that law-abiding citizens don't
care much which they do.
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.
THIS sentence ends the dispatch:
"Air IJnes operated aa usual.
Snow and cold don't bother the
planes greatly they go OVER or
AROUND. It la fog that gets the
planes down.
In spite of sll the smart brains
that are working on It, the fog prob
lem hasn't yet been solved.
