MEDFORD, MEMBER 1 0 N Editorial Correspondence S0130BA SPRINGS, Calif., March 20. If you wish to ap preciate what the motor car hag done to eliminate distances, try hitch hiking for a while. Time yourself for a two mile jaunt along the highway, and then put your stop watch on a motor car, assuming a normal speed for both. We did it yesterday. Motored to the San Jacinto tunnel, the western portal of the Colorado Kiver aqueduct two miles north of here and then walked back. It took the car three minutes, to go up, and our faithful dogs consumed just 3!) minutes to negotiate the return. Which incidentally explodes the theory the average person, SAUNTERING along the highway, makes four miles an hour. Time yourself and see. Don't saunter if you wish to make it. Push yourself just short of a dog trot. . . e Before visiting the aqueduct tunnel we started on a hike to San Jacinto, the back-way. (We shall probably enter the mara thon run at Berlin three months hence.) Met a car, a few hun dred yards away from the Soboba which surprised us by coming to a sudden stop, with certain gestures of recognition from within. Walked back to see what was the matter and were delighted to see Mr. and Mrs. Roger Bennett, who had motored over from Palm Springs.- They had not come to call however, but were looking for a place to enjoy a picnic lunch after keep ing a deniist appointment in Banning. Persuaded them to visit the editorial tepee, up on the hill, look over the resort and sam ple the springs. Roger is a glutton for springs, regardless of the flavor or temperature, passing none of them bjr. Mrs. B. more fastidious found a slight sip at one spring sufficient, white sulphur or black sulphur, she maintained the taste is the same like eggs and rotten ones. (Trust the manager of El Encanto is on duty this morning!) ' Well whatever the final judgment of Roosevelt's New Deal, there will be plenty of lasting monuments to his administration monuments that will endure as long as this old ball of dirt docs. Hoover Dnm and this Colorado river aqueduct is one of them. (The Los Angeles Times insists upon calling it "Hoover dnm" regardless of the official title of Boulder, and as a result that is the term employed throughout this section of California.) Of course this is not a New Deal project, but practically all the work has been done during the Roosevelt administration so by future generations it. will undoubtedly be classified with Bonne ville, Grand Coulee, Tennessee Valley and other huge power and irrigation projects. Ho'over Dam has been completed and turned over to the government about two years before schedule, wonder how long it would have taken if the contract had been let on a cost- plus basis! They are behind schedule on this Metropolitan Water district project, but work will probably be completed by 1938. The delay has been due largely to water there being over 00 miles of tunnel, between here and Hoover dam (about 240 miles northeast of here) and subterranean rivers were encountered. Well the tunnel entrance at looks like any other tunnel a train could go through it. As a matter of fact trains do go through it on narrow gauge tracks but they nro electric used to haul the dirt and rock out and take the crews to work. We walked in a few hundred ytfrds, until we came to a red illuminated sign up high on the right which spelled danger. The tunnel extended as far as the eye could sen a straight row of electric lights, as light in there as tho Holland tunnel from Jersey City to New York. Later wc were offered a trip to the first work station, but decided it would merely be a repetition of what we had seen. Moreover it was cold and damp in there and we had brought neither sweater nor coat. . ' We have, enough figures and of sufficient proportions even to impress a New Deal adding machine, but confine ourselves to only two of the more significant. This tunnel is 13 miles long, running from this western portal to Cabizon, north of Palm Springs, and is to be lined with concrete. Perhaps this figure for the concrete needed will make Moose Muirhead's mouth WATER I 4,730,000 cubio yards, enough to build a 14 foot motor highway from Los Angeles to New York I A 16-foot tunnel and yet tho dirt excavated will total 44,600,000 cubic yards enough declared the engineer in charge, to cover Persh ing Square to the depth of a mile. v(And wo wager if that were done, the lion tamer and tho phoney Buffalo Bill would still be sitting on their respective benches talking to the USUAL assembled audience!) , Some people may supposo a tunnel like this is built by start ing to dig at both sides of the mountain simultaneously and then meeting in the center. Not so. Such a plan would have consumed probably a tenth of a century longer, for only two erews could then be on the job at one time. There art from five to eight crews working all the time. Shafts are dug, at the lowest surface points revealed by the topographical survey (the bottom of the valleys and ravines for example) then two crews arc let down and start to work in opposite directions at each tunnel. That is why tho finished tunnel is not straight but follows a zig-zag line, its direction being determined, NOT by the shortest distance between two points but by the contours on the surface. They have first aid Rtntions ready for all emergencies, but considering the dangerous nature of the work, there have been amazingly few accidents and this year at least no fatalities. We noticed several ears with trailers parked in a group of trees near the tunnel headquarters. Here several of the engineers and executives live. Ono of the trailers had not only an electric refrigerator, and twin beds, hut a shower bath and some pulley weights, Mioh as one might find in a gymnasium. After being on the job all day in the tunnel, one must feel in need of a little brisk gymnasium exercise in the evening! This water from Boulder pardon, Hoover dam will be used for household purposes and irrigation, according to the official prospectus Water for household purposes in the I.os Angeles area, ehT Well we venture to say; this will eventually mean dunu-d little for irrigation. Kor that Los Aneeles area now take in everything north Canadian line! (One-third of Hoover dam will be used to pump in this "ditch"' which sounded man who escorted us about, repeated the figure when we ques tioned him.) We had supposed it was almost entirely gravity flow. Which reminds us a federal district judge in L. A. has ruled his court has no jurisdiction over this hobo quarantine, operated by the Los Angeles police, whereupon the Times puts it on the front pavrc as a victory for this unconstitutional exclusion. Denying jurisdiction is hardly- a victory for ANYONE. As a matter of fact Attorney General Webb of California has an nounced there is no legal justification for this high-handed action whatever, and lias urged the chief of police to quit while the quitting is good. Hut the Los Angeles C. of C. is behind the police force n nothinu will be done. K. W. !!. MlKftlonarln Ante.

Beverly UlUs, CaL THEY THINK THE Measurement and health records of college women for many yeers seem to show that women are taller and stronger todav than their mothers and grandraot era were In their day. Vital statis tics seem to In dicate that the whole population of this country enjoys a greater expect a 1 1 o n of life now than ev er before; that Is. one has a bet ter chance of at taining old age, thanks to better sanitation, better hygiene, greater knowledge of how to live. The modern girl or young woman goes in more or less for athletic ac tivities. She wears more sensible, more healthful clothing than her mother or grandmother did. She quit fainting, swooning and other frailties which we need not mention here. These reforms brought her up whee she was twenty years ago. But In the past decade or two she had been slipping, I fear. Cigarettes, make-up and booze haven't helped her a bit. Now hold your sarcasm. This Is Just 01' Doo Brady in a heart to heart talk. I've said more than once that. In my Judgment, smoking Is no more harmful to the health of a woman than It Is to the health of a man. At the same time I believe young women who take up smoking are more likely to smoke to excess. And there can be no question that excessive Indulgence In tobacco Injures the health of any one. Just my opinion. Haven't time to explain now why the girls are more likely to carry it to extremes. Make-up Is harmless enough In It self, provided cosmetics used contain no poisonous or injurious Ingredi ents, But In my opinion the girl who acquires skill In the art of make-up ts less likely to take good care of ber health, her hygtene, her habits, be cause she can so effectually conceal the marks of 111 health and counter felt the appearance of health. On this ground alone I would prohibit the use of rouge, lipstick and other make-up, as well as French heels, burlesque dress, cigarettes and-hooze by school girls. Put me down as an old meanle if you like. X still believe in spank ing, too. Some fair-minded fathers and moth ers will perhaps disagree with my view. All right. But when It comes to drinking cocktails and having a pull at the smart aleck boy friend's pocket flask, probably few parents will protest acta Inst my animadvers NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O.

Prom all the statistical evidence and general observation Z Infer that women today are more capable In child-bearing than ever before, but that they fall down badly when It comes to nursing their babies. It Is Just my vague Impression that sr k ing and drinking explains the fail ure of many mothers to nurse their Infants successfully. Some physician Instruct expectant mothers that they may. continue smoking without Jeop ardy to the unborn child. Some even permit expectant mothers to continue Indulging In alcohol. Frankly I be lieve this Is wrong. In any circum stance It subjects the baby to a risk. No expectant mother can be Justified in doing that, merely for her own In dulgence. An old legend endowed alcoholic beverages with the power to increase lactation and help a mother td nurse her baby. In actual practice alcohol almost invariably has the opposite effect. QUE6IONS AND ANSWERS Shrubbery 1 Do you consider it sanitary for a man to have a beard on bis face? . . . (C. R. S.) - Answer Seriously, I can't conceive of any significant reason, sanitary, hygienic or physiologic, why a. man should or should not wear a beard. Veter Out It ts a painful experience to read your banter about religion. It will In deed not be Peter who shall ask for your credentials In the day of days, but God himself. No matter how much I esteem you for the good work . . . . (Mrs. H. V. A.) - Answer No Irreverence Intended. It is Just a kind of popular, literary tradition to have St. Peter at the Gate; Rejuvenation Is the ordinary sterilization opera tion the same In effect as the Steln acta operation for rejuvenation? (C. H. F.) Answer Vasectomy (excision of a segment of the vas deferens or sem inal duct) Is the operation done In either case. Rejuvenating effects are questionable. (Copyright 193, John T.

Mr. Wilson, camp chief of the Boy Scouts Association In Great Brit ain for over twelve years, is well known throughout the Scout world. Ollwell Park near London is the Brit ish center for training Scout officers and has attained what may be called International status, as was indicated by the chief Scout of the world adopting it, after consultation with the International Scout committee, for his title of Lord Baden-Powell of Ollwell when he was elevated to the peerage of Oreat Britain on the occa sion of the comlng-of-sge celebra tions of the Boy Scout movement In 1929. Mr. Wilson will be accompanied by R. A. Frost, who has been connected with the Scout movement in England I In various capacities for many years. They have been in attendance at tne training conference at French Lick Springs and after the conference will visit a few councils. Dr. S. DeAlton Partridge, national director of research and program de velopment, will also accompany Mr. Wilson and Mr. Frost. Larry Schade, president of Crater Lake Area Council, stated: "I feel this council is extremely fortunate in being able to secure these three in ternationally known Scouters to meet with the men in this area."

We have this week been using the last of our Winter Nells pears. I do no know how many boxes of pears we brought out from town last Octo ber, but I do know that for months we have enjoyed pears nearly ev ery day. My early life was spent in the e ay s t, where any kind of fresh fruit In the winter months was a luxury. I doubt if most per sons In southern Oregon properly ap preciate and make use of the winter pears and apples that the packing, houses so generously distributed. If, as many of us believe.
