Which shows that truth is not only stranger than fiction, it may descend to depths of human depravity far lower than the creative imagination is willing to picture. The 'Roosevelt Feud rE most pitiless war is a civil war. The bitterest feud is a family feud. President Roosevelt has many enemies of course, personal and political. Any man in his position trying to bring about fundamental changes in the social and economic structure, is bound to incur the hatred and wrath of thousands, particularly those whose selfish and material interests are threatened. But from the day of his inauguration .his most implacable and relentless enemies, have been members of his own family, the Hoosevclts five times removed, particularly T. R., Jr., and the glamorous and brilliant Alice. IT was T. R., Jr.. who at a recent gathering, marking the dedication of n memorial to his distinguished father, so arranged his seat, and phrased his remarks, that the presence of the Roosevelt who now is occupying the White House, could be pointedly ignored. (Pretty small and humorless for a son of the Bull Moose leader, but that is the way T. R., Jr. feels!) Now "Princess" Alice is putting out a daily column for the press, which we admit is far superior, in subject matter, treat ment and news value to a similar column conducted by the First Lady of the Land; but is almost exclusively devoted to taking the hide off her' distant cousin, ridiculing his' New Deal and doing everything she can do, to bring about his downfall. VTOT that we deny her right to ' love and war and politics. cally active ones, Teddy the Second and Mrs. Longworth, are entirely wylhin their rights, to do all they can to bring about the defeat of the opposing "party and its leader, cousin or no cousin. But the extreme malignancy and persistence of the attacks upon Franklin D., by tho late Colonel Roosevelt's two elder children, can't be explained satisfactorily on purely partisan grounds. Both T. R, Jr. and Alice, hold their distinguished father and the political principles he represented, in the highest. regard, and yet no one can read period, and deny that the Roosevelt now in the White House, is the Roosevelt who is following in T. R.'s footsteps. In fact tho similarity between the principles, methods and even slogans, of the Bull Moose Roosevelt positively uncanny. , If tho feud were entirely a political one therefore, Teddy, Jr. and Alice would at least have a certain sympathy with the ef forts and ideals of their distant kinsman, and while they might oppose him at the election, would not devote most of the four years before trying to stir up opposition and hostility toward him. No, it isn't polities entirely, SANGUIMTY, the fact that only as an amalgamating but as Teddy and Princess Alice, have never been able to forgive and never will forgive, tho Hyde Park branch of the family doing what the Oyster Bay branch did once, and would so like to do again.

U. waa organized In J 87 4 than It ia In any dictionary I have seen: "Temper ance la modera tlon In things that are good and total abstinence from the things that are bad." I know this defi nition will not suit you wlshy waahles who take a cocktail or a little punch or a highball now and again, more likely again, not because you want It or must have It, but be cause you haven't the moral courage to decline you're afraid your person ality la too weak to stand out when all the rest of the crowd are drinking. How many Americana In business or professional life ever give a thought to the health value of temperance when It comes time for the dessert on top of a fairly well balanced meal? How many of us past thirty and or more or less sedentary habit have learned to worry along without des sert, which we are In the habit of taking because well. Just because we're In the habit of taking It and we do not wlBh to offend the hostess or the cook or we feel we've paid for the dinner and so we ought to eat It from A (tho heaven knows there Is precious little A In It. nor for that matter enough B, C, D, O or E to speak of) to lzzard even If we burst an artery? Such Intemperance la as depraving as Is the use of alcohol to benumb consciousness of inferiority. X am not assuming that dessert Is harmful. On the contrary, I midst that ice cream, pie, cake, cookies, puddings, candy, sweets In general and syrup or sugar of whatever kind, should be Included In the dally ration of every young person, particularly the hard-playing child or the hard working young man or young woman. Such food Is the best source of quick- ly available energy for those who use their muscles; likewise It Is the best source of Immediately available en ergy for the heart. That's why dessert Is an Important part of the athlete's dinner; and sugar In one otrm or an other sustains the marathon contest ant and wards off collapse or coma which might otherwise stop him short of the goal. Nor do I believe thft tobacco Is necessarily Injurious to the health of mature adult who uses It temper ately, although there can be no doubt that tobacco Is Invariably deleterious FOR MORE RAINS; FARMERS JOYFUL SAN FRANCISCO, Peb. 15. (UP) An area of low barometric pressure west of tha California coast brought the threat of additional rain tonight to valley, mountain and coastal com- munltlea already aufferlng heavily from six daya of almost Incessant rainfall. Additional precipitation at tills time would send the great Inland rivers of California closer to the flood stage and would spread water over lowland fields and homesltes already Inundated by depths of Inches to two feet. Overflowing creeks were spread over areas ot Merced. Santa Cruz, Ala meda, Sacramento and San Joaquin counties. A federal transient camp and 50 farm families were cut off from Watsonville by collapse of a bridge over Corralltos creek elgnt miles from the city. Diversion ditches temporarily drained off water that had crept within two blocks of the business district of Merced and had forced fsmtlles In the lowlands there to evacuate their homes. Highways In many counties from tha Oregon border south almost to Mexico were under water. Railroad transportation was hampered by washouts and landslides. Communl- cstlon companlea reported polca washed out. The Oakland fire alarm system was out of commission for a few hours during the storm period. Only the farmers of ths San Joa quln, Sacramento and other agrlcul tural valleya appeared to welcome the almost unprecedented downpour which began Monday when a semi tropical atorm. which brought light ning and hailstones as well as rain and snow, blew In from the Pscllic The farmers saw prospect of In creased yields of spring and summer crops from the rain which sosked deeply Into their fields.

(AP) An obscure type of pneumonia and not poison caused the death here January 31 of Donna Lou Marsters, four-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. L. M rsters. Dr. Frank Menne of the Portland Medical school re ported by telephone this afternoon to District Attorney Maurice Hallmark While traces of poison were found. Dr. Menne stated, the amount was not sufficient to cause death while evidences of toxemia. . secondary pneumonia, were discovered. The child's death with symptoms somewhat resembling poison, led to the belief here that sne was the un intentional victim of a dog poisoner, whose activities had been widespread In Roseburg and vicinity for 'several weeks. Reporting to the district attorney, Dr. Menne stated that he and Dr, George Furhrer of Eugene had made further careful examination. Traces of poison were found. It was said, but the amount was not suffl clent to have resulted In death. However, the doctors stated, they found symptoms of pneumonia of a rather severe grade In both lungs. The pneumonia, it was stated, waa of a very obscure typo, and the convul slons, which strengthened the theory that the child had died Of poison, were believed to have been due to the toxemia secondary to pneumonia.

The come back of Gertrude Lawrence In London is one of the greatest triumphs over physical and financial collapse and fading popular ity recorded In years. Valiant Is the word for Gertie t An ava lanche of mis fortune struck her In a heap. ' First her health buckled, necessi tating several operations and a long siege In a n u r s 1 ng home. Then her credi tors closed In and everything had to be sold even to her sentimental gift Jewelry. She became well enough to appear in two or three plays, which were dismal flops. t Then her romance with Douglas Fairbanks. Jr. took a turn to oblivion, totaling up the mental dispalr. She dwindled to a 94-pound wisp. All over the city they whispered she was washed up. Finis! But now, three months later, she Is In a smashing co-rtarrlng success with Noel Coward. ft waa with Coward she first reach ed the heights. Again London la at her feet with hosannahs for her bril liant essaying of protean roles, rang ing from a guttery cockney wench to a duchess. And the most fashionable English magazine votes her "the ten best-dressed women In London." - Coward's experiment with Miss Lawrence is a presentation of three once-act plays, with a wide range of subject matter This trio is produced for one week. The following week they appear In three other playlets and We program alternates there after from week to week. ' This wise Ihey are able to have two opening nights in a period of eight days.

Jr., he now has his own pro ducing company In Britain and re cently notched a high mark for the price of seats at the premiere of his first over-there pic pardon, cinema. Stalls or orchestra seats sold for $52.60 each and were all sold In tlf fy. The Duke and Duchess of Kent were honored guests on the opening night, my word. And some nit wit American would address Doug as "Mr. Crawford." Gilbert Miller is now a fully fledg ed aero-pilot in the English Registry and dashes about In his plane as most of us peasants do In Fords. Every whipstitch he's off to Buda pest, Vienna, Rome, Paris and the Riviera to carry on with his multiple theatrical enterprises. Here's how he became aa aviator: He was Just get ting so ao at golf under personal supervision of a Scottish pro, when he up and broke a leg. That meant the end of golf for several months. So he turned to aviation where the sitting was pretty! Many W! rills have come to John McCormack. the beloved Irish tenor. but a recent one was par. He has secretly cherished the hope his son Cyril, who has a fine voice, would be come a great singer. But when the lad finished at Cambridge he went on his own, took a lowly Job In an engineering works In London with burning ambition to become an engi neer. Recently the boy Joined his father at Moore Abbey, Ireland. One evening he piloted his father into the murlc room and asked him to sing several old Irish songs. A few eve nlngs later. Mrs. McCormack, lo on the surprise, turned on the wireless and the father in his favorite arm chair heard his son broadcast the very same songs from the Athlone station in Ireland, the neighborhood where the father was born and first san; at 17. And it was a bell-toned ter.or voice he heard and at the fin ish John succumbed to the Inevitable impulse of his Irlshry and had good cry. I've wondered If others notice the extraordinary devotion of the Eng lishman to care of his hair. Young boys are presented with costly hair brushes and always appear shinglngly brushed. Magnificent brushes are essentials of the adult's toilet equlp mcnt, and Englishmen use hair ton ics and massage treatments, no end And the majority retain, their hair. Lloyd George has been a br usher all his life and lookM I remember an expensive shop near St. Paul's, which tells nothing but combs and brushes, Fascinating for a prowl. Every bar ber la a persistent monger for oils. scents and doo-dads for the hair. So much so that Somerset Maughan ecened the first act of a play In barbershop, the entire action devoted to the toiwrs pushing their warea on their helpless customers. But with such a luxuriant crop of hair, maybe England owes a debt not as hefty as tha one the owes us. of course to her lowly barbers, after all) Prize Offered for First Lamb Tongue Fred L.

Ut Mail nibuu want ad Com ment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS I YOU'VE heard, of course, tha argu ment that machinery displaces la bor, and consequently Increases un employment. Perhaps you believe It. In tha light of figures obalnable. however, it desnt seem to be true. CONSIDER this fact: Between 1870 and 1930, the popu lation of the United States Increased 318 per cent, while the number of persons gainfully employed In the United States Increased 301 per cent. In other words, jobs Increased fost er than population In these years when use of machinery was Increas ing more rapidly than ever before. AND thla fact: ' ' I Shortly after the Civil War. BEFORE great strides in mechanical advancement had been made, 334 per sons were employed In producing the goods and services consumed by each 1.000 inhabitants of the United States. But by 1930 a higher standard of living, resulting largely from the de velopment of machinery, had created so many new desires that 400 persons were at work producing the goods and services consumed by each 1,000. MACHINERY made possible the cre ation of a tremendous number of new THINGS (such as automo biles, radios, washing machines, etc.) As these new THINGS were created and the price brought low enough for people to afford (which was made possible by machinery) peop WANTED them. Supplying these new wants created new Jobs. - 1-4 MACHINERY has made possible things that WEREN'T possible before the modern machine came into general use. Cheap automobiles, for example, Suppose every automobile In exist ence bad to be made by hand labor the steel hammered out by hand, the bearings bored by hand, the parts fitted together by hand with a file. The cost would be PROHIBITIVE. T WAS only when huge and compll- cated machines (vast trip ham mers to forge the steel, mighty presses to stamp out the bodies, production lines to put the parts together eco nomically and swiftly) were devel oped that automobiles could be made so cheaply that vast numbers of peo ple could afford to own them.' The DEMAND for vast numbers of cheap automobiles Increased Im mensely the number of Jobs available. SUPPOSE we were to take out of human Ufa ENTIRELY the auto mobile, which la a machine Itself and the product of large numbers of other machines. What would happen? Would there be MORE Jobs? Or would there be fewer Jobs? The answer is obvious. There would be fewer Jobs. ONE other fact, in closing: Out of each seven factory work ers today, ONE has a Job making some product that was unknown to his grandfather 50 years ago. Eighteen of the major manufacturing Indus tries of today have been WHOLLY developed since 1880, and they would not be in existence but for the me chanical advancement that has taken place aince that time.

Mr. Thornpson was my friend, as he was to thousands in that community, and hts passing will be mourned by all of them. One year ago yesterday I left Ore gon and came Bouth to this place, as I had Just had a second stroke. Two very prominent Medford doc tors attended me for two days and quit the case as they said there waa nothing they could do. I was then carried to Portland to a very famoua hospital and after 10 days informed my wife I would never be well again and advised her to' bring ma south to a lower altitude. After arriving here I was exam ined by two high class surgeons. They wanted to operate for thyroid trouble. I told them that they would not operate on me. So I drifted until I read a "syndi cate" article in the newspaper on high blood pressure, and as high blood pressure is what causes strokes I sent 10c for a pamphlet. On re ceiving It I found very simple ad vice as to diet. Following same, in five weeks my presure was down to normal and has remained so since, by a correct diet. In the1 nine years I have lived in Jackson county many, many of my friends have passed away from strokes, so I am writing this article. trusting you will publish it In your "Correspondence" column and it any one la Interested I will be glad to give the name and address where they can get a pamphlet. I was back in Medford In Janu ary for a week and my friends were surprised to see me st all and mora surprised to see my healthy condi tion.
