Communications Rejuvenation and A New Order To the Editor: "Rejuvenation la virtually a fact," so Alexia Carrel Informs, according to "Time." He ought to know. Btelnach. the endocrinologist, thinks so too. This Is good news to Hearst, who cautions his guesta. or rather Marian Davles' gueala not to men tion the awful word death In his august presence. Death, Carrel saya "la a great blessing." But Hearst can't see it that way. Carrel thinks rejuvena tion not so good; a world full ot aged people a calamity. But he ts arguing against, not rejuvenation, but senility. If one Is really rejuve nated he cesses to be senile. A re juvenated person. If he be really that, Is In every respect superior to youth because he will have all that youth has and more. If he la abreast with his time he will be debunked of the Ideas Insep arable from youth. To be properly debunked takes about all of the allotted three score and ten. Then he dlesl One's Inherited potentiali ties cannot be fully doveloped In that brief time. His latent powers must go to the grnve with him. This ts society's greatest loss Its absolute loss and strsnRe aa It may seem, It Is rarely ever men tioned! Odin, In his "Origin of Great Men" has examined the Uvea ot some 0,000 and has found that genius la common, opportunity mre. But who reads this grent French man? His la a voice In the wilder nejs. Regeneration at this time would be a calamity, however, aa Carrel has mentioned, but for reasons that he would be the last to admit. The reactionaries would corner the mar ket, enhance their power and by their ahnrt-stghted policies, put an end to the genus homo.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS HHRB ere some more facte about machines and their effect upon unemployment. These facts axe gath ered from census figures. They are Interesting, and to many they will be surprising. BETWEEN 1020 and 1930, the 13 principal growing occupations In fahls country gained THREE TIMES aa many workers as the 10 principal van ishing occupations lost. The total loss of Jobs In the 10 de clining occupations waa about 800, 000, and the gain In the 10 growing occupations waa about two and & quarter million Jobs. These 10 growing occupations de pend chiefly upon machinery. The 10 declining occupations are dependent In far less degree upon machinery. ALONG this line, here la an Inter esting example: In 1030, there were 321,323 fewer dairymen, teamsters and stable hands Mian In 1020, but In 1030 there was an INCREASE of 997,000 truck driv en and ohauffeurs. That la to ay, for every worker who lost his Job aa a result of the auto mobile and the motor truck, TWO WORKERS gained Jobs. AND don't forget this: Truck drivers and chauffeurs now earn higher wage then dairy men, teamsters and stable hands used to earn. The effect of the machine ts to In crease wagea by Increasing the work er power to produce. rS effect of the machine upon the welfare of the worker la llus trated by this fact: Between 1000 and 1035, the years In which use of machinery was In creasing most rapidly, real wagea (which means what your dollar will buy) more than doubled. That la another way of saying that your average wage dollar today will buy twice as many things as your father's average wage dollar would buy 36 years ago. TWO more faota: Between 1800 and 1930. pro duction In American factories Increas ed 319 per cent while wages paid to labor Increased 407 per cent, .which means that in these 30 years of grow ing use of machines wages Increased more than twice as fast as production per man. In 1034 (the latest year for which figures are available) wage and salary earners received 87.4 per cent of the national income, which Is a larger share than ever before In history. This can only mean that the ma chine has INCREASED labor's share of the total Income. THE opinion ts widespread that the machine has REDUCED the number of Jobs available, thus In creasing the unemployment problem. The figures here quoted, which are tnken from census returns, DONT boar out that opinion. AND here Is something else: The pessimists are trying hard to make us believe that this country Is steadily getting worse and worse. The figures prove pretty definitely that Instead It Is getting BETTER AND BETTER. HEAVY RAINS SEND Emigrant dam, main source of water supply for the Talent Irriga tion district, la within .0 of a foot of the top, according to Olen Aras plgr. general manager of the Med ford and Talent Irrigation districts.

The sweet charm of the cuddly baby Lou and the friendly glance from be neath the long brown lashes of eleven months old Garry greeted the scores of Oregon homemakers assembled here for home Interests conference last week, when they visited the -home management houses during the tea hour. Garry wore pink rompers, and Lou a creamy smocked drees, and the presence of these wee tots, together with the warmth and cheer of candles and tulips, ss a chilling mist -fell without, made the trip to Kent and Whltoombe houses one of the most popular tours offered to guests here this week. But Lou and Garry were not to be fondled there was danger of their catching cold and If that should happen, the college girls taking care of them would be responsible. The oare of Lou and Garry com prises a part of the course of the stu dents In home economics. In their senior year the girls each spend six weeks In technical training at the home management houses. Six stu dents remain there at one time, each spending a week as child director, hostess, cook, assistant cook, house keeper, and laundress. The girls carry 13 other credits In addition to this five-credit course. Miss Mary Bertram Is resident In structor at Kent house, and Ml as Ele anor Spike Is resident Instructor at Whltoombe house, director of both. Miss Bertram says that Garry, who came to them from the Albertlna home In Portland, Is a 27-pound hus ky who promises to become a full back. Lou, at Kent house, weighs 11 pounds at 8 months of age, and eli cited many requests for adoption from visiting home-makers. However, the college assumes no responsibility re garding adoption of the babies, re turning them to the homes from which they came. New babies are placed In the home management bouses every year. Due to the scientific care given Garry and Louise, they are happy healthy babies. They are Inspected by a physician once a month, both for their own well being and the bene fit of the students. At Kent house guests were delight ed to meet the gracious E. Soon Choi. Korean girl, and a charming Chinese student as hostess. E. Soon Choi wore s native costume In blue, and her friend was dressed In a modified cos tume of the same color.

Baked Soli for Flowers When you plant flowers In seed boxes for transplanting to the garden when the weather 1b warmer, the baking oven should be one of your best Im plements.

Then bake the soil In the oven tempera ture 200 to 250 degrees. That will kill any lurking weed seeds. Soil two or three Inches deep In the box makes a good germ ination bed.
