All along the foothills from San Bernardino to the Arizona line, there are hot springs of one kind and another. And where there are several of them one can usually find a hotel. Arrowhead Springs, Gilman Springs, Eden Springs, Murietta Springs, Palm Springs and Heaven only knows how many more. It is pretty safe to say thRt old Mt. Jacinto, towering up there with snow all over its crest was once an active volcano. And not far beneath the surface of the sand loam, spottsd with palms and cactus and sage brush, there is still action, a gentle sizzling going on. Relatively speaking the solid earth we walk and ride on, and in which we imbed the foundations of our apartments and skyscrapers, is a mere crust on a cooling cinder. And not cool ing so fast either. If it were as easy to walk down a mile as it is to walk up, no doubt it would be as easy to cook a mess of bacon and eggs on a molten rock, as to roll in the snow on the top of Jacinto. At least in this section of California. The altitude here is approximately the same as Medford 1600 feet above sea level. It doesn't get as hot or as dusty as Palm Spr.ngs and the nights are cooler. It is more like Arrow head Springs, which is also in the foothills. Most people come here for the water, to drink it, swim in it there is a large swimming pool, and get rubbed in it. There is a large bath house and a number of muscular attendants. We have beeu urged to take advantage of these sanitary and prophylactic opportunities but have thus far resisted. Some years ago we went into the steam caves at Arrowhead to lose a cold, and not only failed to lose it, but came out with another one so for several days we had two, th! old one in the chest and the new one in the nose. That cured us of the steam bath habit. , . No doubt it was an idiosyneracy. At any rate here as at Arrowhend they are all doing it, and judging by the conversa tion in the dining room the results are miraculous. Most of the guests are from Los Angeles or the immediate vicinity and have been victims of the flu which reached epidemic propor tions about a month ago, and is still very prevalent. Our table mate in the dining room is a flu victim. He was in bed three weeks, has been here ten days, and leaves tomorrow, "a new man." Jie certainly 100K9 it as plump ana rosey as a jumuo pomegranate. There are several of the older girls here, most of them hefty ones. One of the heftiest, with a large doublo chin, baby blue eyes, and a generous cascade of white hair, imparted to us the cheering news she had not only lost the flu but J 6 pounds Personal Health Service By William Brady, H.

Ths mara thon may be taken at one sitting or extended over several days. Our jovial and jubilant Juno, took the works in one day's ses sion. She thought one "got the full benefit in that way." She wanted to take another the next day but the bath professor advised against it.

Housecleanlng will soon be all the rage among the Older Glrla, but at present they are only mad enough to make their mates mow the lawn, against his better judgment. Elno Henunlla, the theater hireling who became the father of 4 proud baby girl 10 days ago, now knows whst he Is doing part of the time. A baseball team will be organised here this summer. Pishing offers stiff competition to the national game, as a majority ot our cltlaens would rattier be In a river, than a grandstand. Movie atunt flyera hive been here all week. They fly a plane, like a 14 year old girl drives a new auto. The daredevil feats made the hslr stand up on tha heads of spectators, as well as on the upper lips of dudes wtth'C. Chaplin mustachea. Tha fair sea Is all agog aa Nelson Eddy, the film baritone, will be at the O. Hunt cinema until Tues. eve.

The state bssketball tournament will be held this week, and this burg, with usual nelgriborltneas, don't care who wins It as long as It nn't Salem, the host team. 1 The Cofo. secretary Is now engaged In a 1-msn wnr on Communism, and thrust his trusty fountain pen deep ! inio nie nocinne last week.

Mrs. B. is quite the reverse. Also r. Los Angeles flu victim she would probably tip the beam ground 115. She is very blonde VERY wears grey slacks. most of the time, and the largest pair of dark glass blinders we have ever seen. They not only cover her eyes hut a large part of the upper face. She refuses to drink any of the mineral waters terrible tasting stuff, is "nix" on hot baths, which just take it out of you und put nothing back, but fancies the sun bath roof garden and epRom salt rubs. She also is getting peppier and peppier, but thinks this rather a slow place, perhaps things will liven up over the week end. Being the wife of a cameraman in Fox News, she is used to excitement. This, we gather is a very dangerous profession. AVhen any trouble breaks out the Fox News boys have to cover it. Mr. B. and three pals started at Fox five years ago and the three pais are dead. Two of them crashed in an airplane in the Sequoia forest, a third was killed at Boulder dam. The life expectancy of a News camera man is less than that of an airplane pilot. But it is interesting and pays wen.. The hotel property here is huge, and includes what were once upon a timo twt, nlfalfa and citrus ranches. The orange and grapefruit orchards are still intact the former blossoming and producing oranges at the same time. There is no odor much sweeter than orange blossoms in bloom, the air is saturat ed with it. Guests are forbidden to pick fruit from the trees but tliero is no rule against picking up fruit on the ground. And if you want to tasle a Bweet orange dig into one that has been on the ground in the hot sun for a few days vum yum they are delicious! The hotel raises its own alfalfa for its riding horses, vegetables and flowers, eggs, chickens and tur keys' and we have it from one of the bath house attendants Chief Allliouse, the owner, is getting rich just as fast as Uncle Sam will permit. . No doubt the repeal of prohibition has been a great help financially to all of these so called health resorts. There is a tremendous' profit in mixed drinks and drinks by the glass, and while to date drinking has not been noticable, from five p. m. on, the hotel bar is a popuUr place, and at most of the tables in the dining room drinks of one kind and another arc served. During mid day the mercury hovers around SO in the shade, there hasn't been a cloud in the sky in the three days since we arrived. The gardener down by the road is complaining and says all the farmers are, there has been no rain in three weeks. Tet the peach and apricot trees are just coming in full blooin. lie maintains, however, this is too soon, and that there will probably be a frost, and most of these small fruits wiped out. Orest weather for the tonrint crop however. R. W. R. Forty Hunted For Alcohol Smuggling LOB A NO ELKS, March 14.

But I am col letting unaterlaj for a a e r t e a of mystery a t o rles and I'll be hap py to receive and filer data readers may send In con oerning Individ uals who would qualify for the role of the corpse In such a story. X have on hand an ample supply of butlers and vicars, but I find my stock of likely corpse stuff Is running low. To avoid duplication let me men tion that I hav already in the cooler the awlne who ridicules, sneers at or In any way calls undue attention to the member of a party who de clines to smoke, drink or Indulge in any other error of hygiene or ethics or Infraction of law or morals which the crowd may desire to do. Aside from the wretched 1)1 breeding of such coercion. It betrays degeneracy, and on these grounds I submit one would be rendering a public service by removing such characters from the scene. I have scrutinized but not accepted as yet specimens of the open-face sneexer or cougher. After all It is doubtful whether this common boor Is anywhere nearly as nefarloua as the polite conversational spray car rier of the crl (Common Respiratory Infection). For one alleged "cold" spread by the boor who coughs or sneezes upon any one wTio happens to be within his 12-foot range there are probably fifty cases of assorted respiratory Infections, everything from measles to meningitis, all ped dled by the agency of conversational spray. This has a range of two to four feet only, but a high potential virulence because the spray Is In visible and lmpalipsJbls. Until the rank and file of public health au thorities recognize the menace of conversational spray and teach peo- j pie to beware of It, I feel that the ; culprit who spreads the crl In thla way la adequately punished If we Jubt cut out his diaphragm or mute his larynx that Is, If he refuses to wear a mask. Not much respiratory Infection la conveyed In a whisper, and If you object to whispering then ten layers of gauze or cheesecloth having 32 threads to the Inch, over nore and mouth, will pretty effec tlvely stop all conversational spray, as well as sneeze or cough spray. If you are not too bored to finish, please run over with me the list of respiratory Infections which. In my opinion, are usually spread through the agency of conversational spray, and In only a minority of Instances by open-fe-ce cough or sneeze spray: Ordinary coryza, also , known as acute catarrh, "cold In tha head acute rhinitis, distemper. Simple sore throat, also known aa pharyngitis. TonslUtla. Quinsy, also known as abscess around the tonsil. Diphtheria, ficarlet fever. Measles. Mumps. Whooping cough. Acute bronchitis. Broncho-pneumonia, also known as capillary bronchitis, suffocative catarrh, lobular pneumonia. Lobar pneumonia, also known as lung fever, pleuro-pneumonla. Cerebrospinal -meningitis, alio known as brain fever. ' Influenza, also known as grippe. Acute poliomyelitis, also known aa inianiue paraiyais. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Secondary Anemia.

My jdentlst says he ought to e n courage gum chewing, for It brings him considerable business by spread Infection from one tooth to others In the mouth. I believe the habit is a ' contributing cause of digestive trouble, by wasting digestive Juices on empty, idle stomachs . . L. 8. S. Answer On the same grounds your dentist ought to e ncourage eat ing food. So far as I know, gum chewing is comparatively harmless. But I know of no benefit from the neurotic habit. Hot Dog. Family of three children now has no meat other than weinera. They argue they can't afford any other meat since meat went up in price. One of the children seems under nourished, doea not get along at school, will not drink milk. Can you suggest any way to make such chil dren like milk? They might have plenty of good milk at a cost next to nothing . . . D. A. s. Answer Pound of welners. frank furters, hot dogs, yields about Vi of the nutritive value of a pint of milk. Bebt way to correct the bad habit la to withdraw the highly seasoned sau sage, and provide milk with bread, crackers, cake, cookies, bananas, etc.. and when the children get pver the hot dog craving they'll recover nor mal appetite and dispose of the milk and other wholesome food.

D 865 El Camino, Beverly Hills, Calif. tried to carry one through the house the phone rang. I turned quickly to answer and swept everything off a mantle, poked out a window pane and pinched a row of blood bllstera on my hand as big aa marbles. The way to carry a step ladder is perpendicular and squarely In front of you and never turn around until you set It down. There have been as many homes broken up by careless step lad der carrlera aa by Broadway cutles with a lisp. That a the way thla col umn goes. Not only bright and en tertaining but chucks In a free step ladder lesson. A moment while I find the step ladder. It must be somewhere In the kttch that la servants' hall. See. there It la all painted white and lovely. Never too busy for compli ments. Even a trade last for a step ladder. Always adjust a step ladder, carefully. Too many people Just drag one out and scamper skyward when It Is still tippy. And next they know they are being pushed to the park In a wheel chair for a sunning. An ex pert runner-upper should touch his shoes to resin like thla and ascend acend slowly on tha balls of the feet, softly like a panther In high grass. and here we are at the top. Notice the grace. the bllthenes, the stance! tachee on magasine cover glrla, they'll soon be taking the knives and forks sway and hiding the matches. You know whatl I believe they have started whispering campaigns, too. If X turn around quickly on the street, people are nudging each other. Even doca bark aa X mil am t used to talk to myself only in the j bathroom. Now I'm always mum ! bllng, laughing out loud, alnglng or clucking like a wet hen. It shows what sticking to one thing year after I year will do. Far back aa I can remember the Mclntyrea were step ladder people. People. Nothing fancy. Just the substantial sort of step lsdderlsu that haw made this nation what It Is. Lota of step ladderlsta do their stuff waving, bowing and blowing kisses. But we sre without such frills. Now to fix the chandelier. Somehow I'm a little too far away. And I don't want to reach too strenuously. I tear easily under the wing. A second while I run down and push up a little closer. There! Here, by a simple twist, the chandelier goes back In place. . . . I'm glad nobody waa around when that happened. Down we came, chandelier and at least a bushel of celling. I don't feel so good. That old ringing In the ears again. And notice how one hip hikes up when I try to walk. I couldn't have a quiet evening at home reading Oppenhelm pr listening to Major Bowes. I have to be gallop ing up and down step ladders and doing celling drops with chandeliers. No wonder they whisper and nudge when I come around, I can think ouch! of only one thing nuttier and that's fruit cake.

END Of NORTH riNTRM. AVEM'K By FRA.NK JENKINS 'TSHIS question, In one form or an- other, la on every Hp: "will there be war In Europe aa a reault of Hitlers thumbing his nose at the treaties which forbid him to move German troops up to the Rhine?" THE answer, ss things stand today la: "Probably not. right away, un- leaa some startling incident, like the killing of the Austrian archduke In 1814, ahould occur to Inflame the passions of the already excited pop ulations that are concerned in the situation." . Kurope lant yet quite ready to fight. " pOR one thing, most of Europe v jut. &iiuw now a moaern war, which la staggering costly, could be financed', ' Easy, kindly, gullible old Uncle Sam waa film-flammed Into financ ing the bulk of the .World war. The process waa first to buy from him, on credit, the thlnga needed to fight with, and then to BORROW from him the money with which to pay hla bills. - . j Farther along In the game, he was flattered' Into getting Into the war on hla own account In ordef to "make the world aafe for democracy." After that, he waa a partner In the bual neaa and his assodatea pushed off unto his shoulders the job of doing the PAYING. Dncle Bam, In the World war. waa about the easiest mark It was ever Europe'a good fortune to meet. BUT Uncle flam Isn't feeling so kindly and generous and expan sive as he waa back In World war deya. . For one thing, he haa been forced to realize that In the World war he waa "taken" clear down to his shirt. Hla friends' who talked so aoulfuUy of ' malting the world aafe for democ racy welshed disgracefully on their bills Just as soon aa the world was made safe for THEM, leaving him holding the sack. . For another, he has plenty of debts of hla own, 'now that the New Deal Is going good, and finds It hard to work ip enthusiasm for taking over somebody else's debts. The old gentleman Is In no mood to be made a monkey of a second time, . CONGRESS, in one of Its relatively . Infrequent Intervals of sanity In recent years, passed a law to the ef fect that no 'foreign debtor who la In arrears on his war debt can BOR ROW AGAIN from the United States until he PAYS UP. . That cynical bit of common sense la going to cramp Europe's style sadly In the present emergency- making It almost necessary, If the nations of Europe wsnt to go to war again, to PAY THE BILLS THEM SELVES. That problem Isn't going to be simple, and it will take time to work out a solution of It. (The solution favored at the pres ent moment, ss you must have noted In the papers. Is to work on South America, the same kind of skin game that waa worked on Uncle Sam back In World war days, holding out the bait of big war marketa and then borrowing the money with which to pay the bills. South America MAY fall for It). . 1 Flight 'oTime Medford and Jackson- County history rrorn' the flies of the Mall Tribune 10 and 20 years ago. ' ' TEN YEARS AGO TODAY '. March 15, 1926 .
