at Salem telephoned to Ontario,
two deputies In separate state own
ed autos, would be forced to drive
to Ontario the following week, to
determine If the phone message had
been received. If the weather was
fair, and the campaign hot, the
official himself might also find it
necessary to yank himself away
from his desk. A state-owned tele
phone system is needed as much
aa state-controlled pos toff ices, across

I don't mind
the ort h o d o c s
sounding off
about "the com

seems to me there is genuine humpr
in their attitude. Or maybe my sense
of humor Is abnormal. At any rate
I have to chuckle every time I read
a ponderous dissertation on the na
ture, cause, prevention and cure of
"common colds", because It Is so ob
vlous that the particular author ex
presses his personal views and that
every other orthodoc who discusses
the subject at all likewise expresses
his own personal views. The discern
Ing reader must Inevitably conclude
that science Is wonderful.
The orthodoce, that Is, the reac
tionaries, the old timers, who assume
that because doctors have always be
Ileved a thing must be so, speak
learnedly of "lowered resistance" and
"keeping, up good, resistance" and
merely -becausethey have so long
Juggled this nebulous notion they are
irritated and offended when anybody
asks "What do you mean resistance?"
Of course they don't know what they
mean that's what annoys them.

Immunity. There la neither scientific
experimental nor convincing clinical
evidence to support the conception
that Immunity Is subject to such
hectic variations. The significance
of the "resistance" Idea is simply
this: I am Medical Tradition. This
is my story and I must stick to it.
Recent deaths of movie actresses
and others from tuberculosis which
supervened upon a period of "diet

sub-standard weight, serve as a sad
example of the relation between nu
trition and Immunity. Not that

Have you any pamphlets on break

wish I could get one. My face is
always broken out and it makes me
so unhappy , , . (R. S.)
Answer Send a stamped envelope
bearing your address and ask for
monograph on Pimples and Black
heads. Such breaking out is more or
left normal and natural in youth.
Humidity
We have water pan In furnace. Our
walls are wet when we cook. When
we boll our windows are steamed
nearly all winter. Neighbor says it is
the water pan. None in their fur
nace. Husband aays without water
pan furniture will come apart. (C.R-)
Answer Certainly the gallon or
two of water evaporated dally from
the ordinary furnace water pan can
have little effect on humidity. The
condensation of moisture on kitchen
walls and windows indicates humid
ity there, but how about other
rooms? Some "steaming" of windows
when outdoor temperature Is below
40 Indicates normal humidity. If the
windows do not steam up some, the
air Indoors le probably excessively
dried out.

tenced again to die this time during
the week of March 30.
WILL the governor of New Jersey
reprieve Hauntmann again?
That question raises another one:
"Why did he grant him a reprieve
before?
There was a lot of talk about new
evidence to be introduced, but none
of It showed up.
THIS Hauptmanncase has degener
ated Into scandal that smells In
the nostrils of all America In .he

than $3. Brokers tell the reporters
that they 'can put their flngera on
no particular news development re
sponsible for It.
What Is really responsible for It Is
the belief on the part of a large num
ber of people, all at the same time,
that some money Is to be made.
N this connection, it Is Just as well
to remember that the easy mun
ey made . on the stock market In 1938
and 1630 did nobody any particular
good, and did a lot of people a great
deal of harm.
It's hard to make people believe It,
but about the only money that aver
does anybody any lasting good Is that
which la worked for and earned.

ar? not enough British restaurant en rs
tn this country to float a British
dinghy, much less a loan.
For another thing, the government
crowd Is dead set against any such
development. The New Dealers are
embarked on another course. In that
one particular (and only In that
one), Agriculture Secretary Wallace
lately has been speaking with massed
New Deal uuthority. It la his con
tention that a prosperity purchased
at U. S. expense through further for
eign loans would only double our
trottbtes In the end.
To transfer and increase an Indebt
edness without any prospect of It being-
met is worse than cancelling the
Indebtedness entirely.
There is one way In which the deb
tors could pay by the transfer of
goods or services. yThe domestic im
possibility of thst rests on the fact
that we have too many goods nnd the
services which Europe could render
to us have not yet been suggested. If
any.
Consequently, you can afford to re
main calm regarding an excitement
which is In the offing.
The only real expansion noted
hereabouts lately Is that of Speaker
Byrns. He confessed, in an unguard
ed moment, to a group of friends the
other night, that, when this session
of congress started, he weighed 1A0
pounds. Today he weighs 183.
Osteopaths estimate that, if the
present session of congress continues
as it has, Mr. Byrns will weigh 3o0
pounos. no less, by June. That esti
mation, however, does not consider
the tax bill, shortly to be submitted.
Alt In all. It would be presumptu
ous to assume that Mr. Byrns will
approximate anything like the ton
nse of a light cruiser, even though

If you have heard any rumors ot
devaluation lately, disregard them.
There will be no discussion of war
debts, stabilisation or International
finance until the time arrives for an
international monetary conference.
That la not near.

If any of you purchasers of com

STARTS SERVICES
AT FIRST
Rev. J. B. Long, native son of Kmi
tucky, opened a three weeks' series
of evangelistic services at the First
Baptist church Sunday with an ip-
peal to Christians to serve, quoting
from Matthew 9:37 "The harvest truly
la plenteous, but the laborers are few."
In the evening Mr. Long spoke to
a well filled house on "New Code Let
ters." He told about having received
a letter, copies of which were sent to
ministers all over the United staves,
from President Roosevelt asking for
counsel and helpful suggestions.
Mr. Long said he answered the let
ter suggesting to the president that
he add to hta code the only three un
used letter "B. T. O. meaning Back
to God. He further stated that when
fifty per cent of the people of Amer
ica get back to God, the depression
will be over.
Mr. Long used rag pictures for il
lustration and made a picture of
Christ in the Garden which was il
luminated while Mra. Don Piatt snug
"In the Garden " Jlmmie, the nine-year-old
son of Rev. and Mra. Long,
sang. Mr. and Mrs. Long sang, and
Mrs. Long played a piano solo.
Mr. Long urged all to read the
Bible dally and will keep a record of
the number of chapters read eaoh
day during the campaign, asking the
Medford church to challenge the rest
of Oregon churches in Bible reading.
There will be no meeting this eve

Communications
Accept McGroarty Bill
To the Editor:
In a foot note to my article In
your paper last Friday "Liberty
League vs. Townsend," you aay:
"If the McGroarty bill does not
provide for $200 per month,
then It ceases to be the Townsend
plan." I wish to submit herewith
quotation from a speech of Dr.
Townsend, delivered through a nst
lonal broadcast following the In
troduction of the amended bill
April 4, 1935, In which Dr. Town
send says :
"The new McGroarty bill em
bodies all the salient feature of
the Townsend plan optlonsl re
tirement at 60 years; the transac
tion tax; compulsory spending: 200
per month when the tax reaches
that amount pro rata; the tax on
gifts and Inheritances, etc.; and
1-10 Increase on the tax rate on
all Incomes. The tax collected is
to be paid out pro rata, but not
to exceed $200 per month each.
This is not a concession on our
psrt, because manifestly the two
per cent transaction tax will be
adequate to pay the $200 per month,
when the business volume hss been
sufficiently built up and the plm
Is In full operation."
