He Is the "100 per cent, paid up Townaend club member." The same periodical is curious to know what platform they will be "running on four yearn from now." It would be Just aa Interest ing to know what platform they were running on four years ago. French diplomat, in high fear of Germany, announce "a preventive war," and "a ftflht for peace." Both phrases sound Brain Trustish, and are on the order of "upending your self rich," or creating more pork by killing all the little pig".

But what a difference just a few hours make. It's all in the mood. In fact life is merely a succession of moods. And they have a way of changing. Yesterday we were all steamed up over a 72 and yielded to a mood of what we fear, in the cold Cray dawn of the morning attcr, was one or rather inton tile exuberance. We had broken an 80 for the first time in 30 years of persistent endeavor, and just gave way to our feelings, wtih the firm determination of embalming that history shatter ing accomplishment forever in the files of Jackson county's official newspaper, from the first hole to the last But today- well it's another day and a different one. No one is interested in golf at least no one around here and probably no one in southern Oregon. As to Chief Althouse he didn't even ' come into the dining room until practically every one had left. And there were sweet little bouquets of nasturtiums in earthen jars on each and every table 1 Thus are one's fondest illusions shattered on .the granite cliffs of bitter experience 1 It was ever thus. The only certain thine about life is its uncertainty. Speaking from personal experience there is only one constant thing in this mundane existence, that is the expected utiVba nappens. inis tor tunately applies as well to the things we dread, as to the things we anticipate. It is no doubt the law of compensation. As individuals we dote on extremes. But Nature doesn't. Nature is forever seeking a balance.' If the things we fear in the imagination were also suffered ; if the things we enjoy in antici. pation were also realized, well there would be no equilibrium life would be lop-sided, which the powers that be, decreed it shouldn t be. Or so it appears to us this bright but unpoetic March day morning. At any rate no publio notice was taken of Ye Editor's achievement at dinner last night. So that's that. And the world will probablv never know just what happened on those other 15 holes. Which is perhaps just as well. For we had 3's on the first three holes and ended up with an average of 4 s. But (there he goes again) we did get a 721, . We took a motor bus'down here from Los Angeles Monday afternoon. Which is some distinction. In fact we are the first motor bus customer Soboba has had this year. There are only two busses from L. A. to Heraet per day, and they only stop at Soboba on call. Which accounts no doubt for the fact our bus was full, and the only empty seat we could secure was next to a Piute Indian. He had everything on but his war paint ! His long black hair coarse like a horse's tail flowed over the I t,A..1rlAH .f l,ln nx.nt.

His limbs were encased in plain L. A. pants, but draped over a pair of beaded moccasins, and he had enough silver and turquoise jewelry scattered over his person, to sink a battleship. In fact at first we thought perhaps he was a jewelry salesman, for he kept taking off his rings and putting them back again, adjusting his bracelets and arm rings, so we prepared ourselves for some sales resistance. But he said nothing about selling them at reservation prices, in fact for a long time he said nothing about anything. Which of course is characteristic of Indians. They are pic turesque to look at, but our experience has been they are ter ribly dumb. If they have any ideas they are very averse to expressing them. Our own considered opinion is by and large they HAVEN'T any. They are decorative, fine to put in pic tures or in front of cigar stores, but a total loss hs travelling companions, or, we imagine, companions of any sort. At least this one was. Not that he answered our attempts at starting conversation with the conventional grunts ani "ughs." He wasn't that kind of an Indian. He said "Yep" and "Nope" and "Uh huh" like any up-to-date American. He simply wasn't interested. And then just as we were approach ing Riverside and had long sinco given him up as hopeless he asked if we had seen the last burlesque show at the Burbnnk theatre in h. A. (he cnlled it h. A.), and upon our reply in the negative proceeded to give us a word picture of what we had missed, in the accepted idiom of a sex-thwarted sailor boy, nfler a three day bust, in the last port of call. Now we have no prejudice against the old fashioned burlesque, and do understand they flourish on Main street, Ijos Angeles, in all tho pristine splendor of the early days in Butte, Montana, but we do object to having thorn retniled to us second hand. In fact there is nothing we can think of that bears repetition less than a hnnkey tonk burlesque. It is something one should experience first hand, or not meddle with at all. Fortunately the Piute Boccaccio dehhrked at Riverside, and we were glad to take ti sent in the smoking compartment in the rear where the windows were open. There is a decidedly Indisn atmosphere here at Soboba but it is chiefly architectural and we Bhould say very good too. The great golf star is ensconced in solitary grandeur in an adobe edifice, of bnro poles, cement and dried marsh grass called "Sonoma." Next door is the Piute, the Siwash and the "Shasta" which sounds like home. There are a flock of them nil perched on the side of the mountain like swallows' nests. The flower girl we took for an Indian we have since discovered is a Mexican. In fact there are no Indians here now. The Mexican golf pro says there are a few Palm Springs and a few "Dirt" Indians around this part of the country but no Piutes as far as ho has ever heard. So that makes our motor bus companion a linr as well. There is no doubt to which of the two tribes above ITE belonrs. R. W. R. Personal Health Service By William Brady, M D.

I aald the other day that aa the slacker flesh of the corpulent lndl vldual begin to melt away, under a rational lea- eenlng regimen, there la a natu ral 1 n c 1 In at ton for the patient to Indulge in more physical ac tivity than he or she haa been ao customed to, while eubmerged in fat. This In creased activity, of course devel ops m u a u c lar tissue. M u a o 1 e weighs more than fat; but takes up leas room. The new muscle must be taken Into consideration aa a factor affecting body weight. In the mili tary training campe during the World War It was observed tnat thousands of young men from white collar Jobs, clerks, stenographers, office boys, executives, salesman, showed a marked decrease In bulk, all body measurements, along with an actual Increase in body weight. In the first few months of their training. More muscle. These youths became more slender, more graceful. So let no woman worry about exer cise, active play or work with the muscles making her too large or ungainly. That doesn't happen. On the contrary. , Some Dumb Dora who had gained distinction for her swimming and then sought to capitalize her fame, told whoever listens to such words of wisdom that ahe feared swim ming spoiled a woman's figure, made It too atrong or bulky or gave her broad shoulders or something. Really there ought to be a law prohibiting unqualified persons from offering the public advice about health. Short of such testa of endurance aa marathon races, there Is no ordi nary exercise, game, play or athletic activity - which an oversize adult may not advantageously enjoy, pro vided his or her own physician doea not Interdict It for a particular rea son. Just one form of exercise tends to develop massive muscles, and that Is fool stunts such aa weight lifting or similar strains recommend ed to gullible young men by mall- order physical culture humbugs. These strong-man stunts are objec tionable, not meerly because they produce hypertrophy of certain num. cles. but because they make one muscle-bound, clumsy. Inefficient. The overgrown muscles become para sites on bodily vitality. The profes sional freak strong man never won race In his life. He la really a feeble man. He reminds me of little old Tony the Wlrlsh Terror gosh. how fierce and dangerous a wlrehalr can look, hut In a set-to with an other dog. big or little, he doesn't live up to hi) ad. The young woman who avoids rid lng, swimming, tennis, basketball, athletics, dancing, skating, hiking and other physical activities In the fear that these exercises tend to coawn the figure, is badly edu cated. Flabby, alouchy, dumpy that'a the way a woman Is bound to look If she long avoids such 'dally exercise. Indeed It Is only by keep ing up a reasonable participation In these physical activities . that she may hope to retain, or by resuming them to regain, anything like the grace and buoyancy of youth. Or the man either, for that matter. If a design for dwindling Is sound physiological, beneficial to health and not harmful as are most popu lar reduction methods. It should make one feel more Inclined to take and enjoy a reasonable amount of exercise every day.
