Compulsory military drill at the
University of Oregon la coming to
the fore ss a political Issue. The
student desire that military drill
be optional. It would give them
more time for thinking, teas, play
ing the slot machines, attending lec
tures by Imported female com
munists, and plain meditation. The
question may be decided by the
voters, by lnltattve petition. A ma
jority of the voters have never been
to college, or been screamed at by
a second lieutenant, so they would
gnlly vote "No." The populace have
registered their will upon the stu
dent fees, so why not upon military
training. They should also be given
the right for a voice In the selec

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 24. A policeman in Pershing Square
is authority for the statement the transient embargo at the
state line has been a great success, "The bos jest ain't coinin'

Tie next thing is to get the non-resident bums out of here ship
them back to their home states. They're goin' to do that, too!"
So we suggest n new slogan: "California, here we gol Lewis

At the moment the sun is shining the first since our arrival,
but more rain is predicted. At that the total rainfall is lesB
than it was at thic time a year ago, and several inches below
normal. It appears the late fall and early winter were the
driest in many years, and old Jupiter F. is merely making up
for lost time.
Everyone says business is better much better. Met some
old friends from Jlockford, Illinois, wintering in California for
the first time. They were stalled for 90 hours on the Illinois

high school girl), Dolores Del Kio, Vilma Banky, Fay Wray,
Joan Bennett and line voulez vous! All in all we shoultid say
the men looked better than the gals, better health, less arti

By the way who said Herbert Marshall has a wooden leg?
If so there must be springs in it or SOMETHING! (They
called it the Screen Actors' Guild ball.)
Speaking of movies, we certainly drew a pay ticket on the
first one this trip Jeanette McDonald and Nelson Eddy in
"Rose Marie." Two of the finest voices and most vital, wIioIh-
some personalities on the Bcreen and not a phoney or a false
note from tho overture to the final fade out. Our highest praise
for a movie has formerly been one worth seeing a second time.
Guess that will have to be revised. Tho man on our left had
seen Rose Marie three times this was his fourth. And tho
only thing that distinguishes him from the decent average, is
an eye for beauty and an ear for music. To see the show we
had to stand half an hour in line. And could any blurbing
superlatives provide a stronger testimonial than this "Waiting
is an awful bore but the show was worth it."
.
Add prosperity note: The elderly gentleman in the Biltmore
pipe shop three years ago was doing the job alone and having a
tough time of it, now he has two clerks and they are busy all
the time.
Upton Sinclair is just another politician. After his defeat
for the governorship he declared he was through with politics
forever. Now he ii addressing Epie meetings, and leading an
attack on Senator MeAdoo and what ho calls the reactionary
delegation to the Democratic convention. It's an incurable
disease. Once let the political bug bite you and you never
recover, or almost never.
Tes we have been to Los Angeles many, many times in the
past couple of decades and it should bo an old story. But it
isn't and probably never will be. In all the world no eity like
this particularly along Main street and the lower business dis

side show freaks, the sidewalk fakirs, that steady stream of
soiled, sordid and repulsive humanity 20 years ago. Walk from
Pershing Square. down to the Pacific Electric station and you
still wonder!
Can it be they arc getting a sense of humor in southern
California after all these yearst At the movie Inst night the
news reel gave a close-up of Long Beach after the recent hurri
cane, shcils blown over, houses unroofed, trees down, and the
announcer put over this: "A little breeze blows in southern
California, Nebraska parers please copy." There was an ap
preciable ripple of laughter in the packed house and one or two
that might pass as guffaws. Perhaps they were from the Mid

Can one live long after remove! of
the gall bladder? Do most people
have sick stomach after removal of
gall bladder? Has removal of gall
bladder any very bad effect on health?
(Mrs. D. A. W.)
Ans. The gall bladder Is merely a
reservoir for an ounce or two of bile.
When It Is removed the gall duct
carries on the function Just as well.
So one can live long and comfortably
and there Is no reason to have sick
stomach after removal of this more

Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
HERE Is an interesting statement,
culled from the news:
"Since April 7, 1933, when modifi
cation went Into effect, the federal
government and the states have col
lected more than 1,225,000.000 In
liquor taxes and license fees."
That Is a Ipt of money.
OMPETENT authorities tell us that
v at least 23 per cent or the price
the consumer pays for liquor goes
to the federal and state governments
In the form of taxes.
.If that Is true, it means that In
the two and three-quarter years since
prohibition waa modified the people
of the United Staes have spent about
FIVE BILLION dollars for liquor.
That is at the rate of nearly two
billion dollars a year.
IF WE would all cut out liquor, and
. turn over to the government the
money we have been spending for It,
we could pay off our present stagger
ing national debt in about 18 years
assuming, of course, that no more
was added to the present debt total.
-
IN THE calendar years of 1934 and
1935, the federal government col
lected $833,066,159 in taxes on alco
holic beverages. That Is at the rate
of considerably more than 400 million
dollars a year.
Your grandfather can remember
when the TOTAL cost of running the
federal government was only about
400 million dollars a year.
Now 400 million dollars is only a
drop In the bucket.
WHY Is the cost of federal govern
ment going up?
Here Is one reason:
On June 30, 1928, at the end of the
Coolldge administration, the number
of persons on the payroll of the fed
eral government was 540,867. On
June 30. 1932, at the : end of the Hoo
ver administration, the number of
persons on the federal payroll was
563,196.
On September 30, 1935. about mid
way of the Roosevelt administration,
the number of persons on the fed
eral payroll was 794,457.
WHY have the federal payrolls gone
up so rapidly?
Well, it's this way:
We've been steadily buying more
and more government or at least
having more and more government
sold to us and as we get more and
more government It takes more peo
ple to handle It.
fJERE Is something for all of us to
A remember:
Employes of private Industry are
engaged In producing things which
we eat and wear, or otherwise need or
enjoy. Government employes are en
gaged in producing GOVERNMENT,
which we can't cat and can't wear
and of which we need only a certain
reasonable amount.
In other words, the ipore govern
ment we have, the less of other things
we must get along with.

out of their Inside story about Ed

comes from the throne, but the prime
minister always reads it. In fact, he
edits It beforehand. Mr. Baldwin was
playing editor with the speech, which,
in accordance with custom, Is always
liberally sprinkled with references to
the problems and destiny of the em
pire and the supreme power controll
ing the lives of kings and men.
At one point, Baldwin scribbled In
pencil: "Refer to A. O.." When the
king's secretary received the speech
back from Baldwin, he noted the ref
erence and sent the particular pas
sage to the attorney general. The
latter spent several hours going
through the passage but failed to
find anything wrong. Next day he
tok it to Bnldwln and asked specifi
cally v. hat legal point he had In
mind,
"Oh." Baldwin Is reported to have
replied. "I did not mean you. I meant
the king should make another refer
ence at that point to Almighty God."

Ranchers In the Bracada, will
brushy country between the Nueces
and the Rio Grande, hart found use
for these vicious saber-toothed wild
hogs that roam the area.
"They make the best w:ttchdo:j in
the world." says M. B. BMrk?, who re
cently brought several ca-"lnuds of
hogs into the Fort Worth market,
Burks says the Javellnas aro not, as
popularly supposed, vicious to those
whom they know, but on tin con
trary, are as gentle as klttsni to their
masters.
"Catch them while they're pigs and
keep them around the rancn houfe
and they'll become as attached to any
family as a watchdog," he explains
"Trouble is . . . they're too good is
watchdogs. They're faithful to their
masters but will charge a stranger
without warning and without provo
cation. Those grinding teeth and two
Inch tusks are mighty danso..us."
According to this southwej.t Texas
rancher, some of his neighbors who
have raised the Javellna os a watch
deg now aro regretting their 'tcttn.
Ranch people tr. our section are
a hospitable lot, we like to have com
pany and we welcome strtngers. It
Just don't make sense o Invite a
stranger to come in when one of those
hogs is charging him like it bolt of
lightning."
The javellna does not sound a
warning as it charges. There Is no
grunt or bark to warn the uniniti
ated stranger. A sudden rush, accom
panied by the fearful grinding o!
teeth, and before a man can sidesl'-r.
or jump to safety, his leg is ripped
from ankle to knee by needle -like
tusks. Even the heaviest Doota are
not proof against the knifelike up
ward thrust of the Javellna's tusks.

Microscopic and chemical lnapeo
tlon of the vessels revealed that the
Illyrlans lived on about the same dldt
ar the present mountain population
Aside from dairy products and meat
they consumed a large amount of pas
try. Numerous wooden sticks covered
with runes, unearthed by a staff jo;
twenty scientists, working under th
leadership of Dr. Plttlonl of the Vien
na university, show that these Illy
rlans possessed an elaborate script.
As theso runes strongly resembla
the Etruscan script of the 7th and
6th centuries It la considered pos
sible that the latter obtained It from
the Illyrlans. and that the entire pr
Roman culture In northern and cen
tral Italy may have been largely In
fluenced by tho Alpine population.
That Alpine Illyrlans migrated to
the Balkans in pre-hlstorlc times. Y
where they established a distinct cul-
ture, is considered as an established '
fact.
The ancient mine and, close to it,
the miners' laree settlement mora
situated at an altitude of 5.500 feet on
tne Kelch-Alpe near Kltri.nah.l
which la a popular Alpine akllne ra
rest.
The mine, which has hn ntnit-
ed for about 13 centuries, was ex
tremely rich, as one single gallery, ac
cording to expert mining engineers,
yielded 200,000 tons of raw copper In
me course or 600 years.
Production methods were surpris
ingly well developed here In the 14th
or 13th century.
The mine waa surrounded by smel
ters and refineries.
Curiously, the refined metal wis
not worked on the spot, since no
trace of manufacturing so far has
been discovered In the neighborhood.
Bronze tools are comparatively rare
among tho finds, tho conclusion b
lng that the metal waa aent to fac
tories whose location has yet to o
found.
The economic atructure of trua J
mountain settlement Is of special In- 1
terest as, according to all Indications. '
It was a combination of mining and
dairy farming. Possibly the aurplus
of dairy products waa exported with
the copper.
It is considered possible that Kelci.
Alpe, which doubtless was one of tha
main copper production centers of
the bronze era, was an Important cul
tural center as well.
