LONESOME 3UBINERS ACKNOWLEDGING THE CORN
Letter bearing a feminine signature:
"I am glad to see that as you grow
older you grow milder, less sarcastic,
and you acknowl
edge that you
make a mistake
once In a while,
the same as the
rest of ua."
Can't resist the
Impulse to deny
the allegation. If
I SEEM leas aar
cactlc It must be
because the edi
tors keep closer
watch over my
stuff nowadays.
I see that you nave lately ac'
knowledged that some rupture cases
can be cured by wearing a fell fitted
truss. I know by experience that a
good truss cured a bad case of rup
ture In a member of my own family.
Now I am hoping that you will some
time find out that olive oil rubbed on
the skin csn be absorbed."
Tut, tut, Ma'am, that's carrying the
mellowing too far. I acknowledge
that I was wrong In my belief that
nothing but radical operation would
cure rupture (hernia, breach). Not
until I aaw hemlaa cured by ambu
lant treatment a serlea of weekly ln-
Jeotlons of medicine given by the phy
sician in hie office could I change
by opinion about that. In this col
umn at least 10 years ago I said a
cure of some small recent hernias
might be achieved by suitable exer
cise, taken while the hernia is care
fully supported with the hand. The
wearing of a well fitted aupporter or
truss or belt to prevent protrusion
of the hernia alwaya tend, to pro
mot, cure. The wearing of a truss
alone seldom cures hernia, however.
I do wish the editors would nod
over this copy long enough to let me
slip across a wee bit of sarcasm con
cerning the notion that olive on, or
) anything else, Is absorbed through the
skin. . ,
Saroasm, by the way, connotea In
tend to wound the feelings. If that
be true, and I have Webster's word
for It, then I plead not guilty, for I
never divulge the Identity of the cor
respondent, no personal application
can be drawn from what I say here
and anyway I'll stand a great deal
rather than hurt anybody's feelings.
What aome casual readera mistake
for sarcasm la really scientific assur
ance. It la not sarcastic nor even
irrelevant for me to say that in the
light of modern science many of those
quaint notlona are wrong. It would
not matter, perhapa, If the wrong no
tion were harmless, but when It
seems to be an Impediment to good
health or hygiene, then I feel It 1
my duty to brand It In unequivocal

He can toll
where, when and
under what clr
ou m stances he
met every per
son whose acquaintance he formed
in the pant 90-yrars. He began his
career aa "wonder kiddle" of the
show-boata that drifted from Pitts
burgh to Cairo, a boy tenor who
caroled sentimental Irish ballads.
After his trouplng experiences
along the levers, he became a hotl
clerk tn Cleveland and later In Cin
cinnati, where at the Age of 3S he
waa appointed general manager of
what was then Its largest, most de
luxe hospice. He was the first to
ospiullce celebrity patrons.
When a theatrical, movie, oper
atic star, famous explorer, author,
etc., put up with him. he hsd a
brass plaque with name and date
hung on the door of the suite. Sar
torlally, he la a picture for the
clothing ads, a blend In color fus

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Habit Spasm
I keep blinking my eyes so that
strangers stare at me I think It la
called tic. Physician found no fault
of vision. Can you suggest how I
may overcome this? (K. D.)
Answer. Such tic or habit spasm
usually begins as a purppseful move
ment. which eventually becomes ha
comes habitual. Carefully conducted
courss of exercises In expression, In
hibition, etc., under supervision of
expert, will correct the habit. Just ss
a fllUP. It la characteristic of idiots
that the constantly repeat movements
without purpose or words without
sense.
Emergency Water Disinfection
To your knowledge, are hslazone tab
lets to be relied upon for sterilising
water? Would they, for example, kin
the spore, of amebic dyslntery germs?
(P. A. R.) .
Xns. Not to sterilize, but only to
disinfect water In an emergency. I'd
rely on such disinfection of water If
I had to drink unboiled water of
queatlonable purity. Or I'd rely on
the addition of one or two dropa of
good old tincture of lodin to a quart of
water, let It stand twenty minutes,
and then drink my fill In assurance.
These methods ere suitable ONIx
for emergencies and not at all for
reiruuar use. Boiling Is the best way
to disinfect polluted water If It must
b used for drinking purposes.
Sterilization
If a man has the operation to ster
ilize him, 1 It possible to restore his
capacity to became a father by a sub
sequent operation, provided he Is
healthy and normal, aged about 38?
(W. H. M. )
. Ans If the original operation was
the ordinary vasectomy (removal of
portion of the seminal duct) a sur
gical repair of the duct would restore
his fertility.

Comment
on the
Day 's News
By FRANK JENKINS
fVVBR In Klamath Falls, they're
w tearing down the old Brick Store.
This old Brick Store, In Its day, was
so typical of condltlona that existed
in thla western country of ours that
some brief story of It, together with
some of the sidelight accompanying
Its history and Its methods, may be
found of more than passing Interest
on this side of the mountains.
t-
yHS Brick Store, in Its day. was
more than a business establish
ment. It waa an INSTITUTION. Its
owners were merchants, bankers,
brokers and business advisers for
their community. Over their coun
ters, they sold to the people of this
area whatever was needed, and In
addition they found markets for the
country's ' products and acted as
bankers In the financing of Its varied
-enterprises.
ITS owners were men of shrewd,
sound business Judgment, and
their first, purpose was to make a
fair profit for themselves out of their
activities; but they wars men of
vision who realized that unless the
country aa a whole prospered they
could not prosper. They were lead
ers In the affairs of their day, and
their advice was widely sought and
generally followed.
Many of the people In this south
ern Oregon country who today are
comfortable well off owe their start
to ths sr and advloe and wise guid
ance their affairs received from the
owners of the Brick Store.
Communities with leadership like
that are fortunate.
IN tearing down the old Brick Store,
several bundles of letters and pos
tal cards were found. (It la Inter eat
ing, Incidentally, to note that postal
cards predominated. People of that
day were not prolific letter writers,
and a postal card seemed to provide
about the right space.) These old
letters and postals tell a story of
their own.
Cm May 14, 1897, John Shook
wrote from Dairy: "If convenient, I
wish you would send
$25, as he la expecting some money
to pay hla bills at Eugene. Send the
money to Eugene, Oregon."
The money was sent. The Brick
Store, you see, was more than Juat a
store. It waa banker as well a. mer
chant for lta community. Whatever
ths needs of its people were, It took
cars of them.
PROM Steel Swamp, down In Calt-
fornla, on December 10, 1897, A.
J Jackson wrote to tlta Brick Store:
"Please send 3 lbs. citron, 3 lbs. cur
rants and oblige."
It was December 10. you see, and
Christmas waa Juat In th. offing.
One can Imagine that ther. was fruit
cake down In Steel Swamp that year.
1JROM Eoyaton, Oregon, dated In
early December, 1896, came
postal card bearing this message:
"Please send by return stage, If pos
sible, a pair of boys' strong leather
boots, full stock kip, size 3. Send
price, and money will be sent by re
turn stage."
"Boys' strong leather boots, size a.'
Do you reckon the boy they were In
tended for had an Inkling they were
coming? And, If so, don't you reckon
the dsys before Christmas were long
beyond belief?
You'll know all about It If you
happened to live back In the 90s
and your heart bled for a pair of
boots, sis. 3-
A LATER postcard, also from Roys
ton, Oregon, follows. It reads.
"Th. No. 3 boot, proved to be too
big. Will you pleas, exchange them
for a pair of No. l'a? Would like
them with copper toes, If you have
them."
poOR KIDI Hla boots were too big,
and had to be sent back, and he
had to wait th. CENTURIES and
CENTURIES that must elapse before
the new one. cam..
This writer, at a tender age. be-.1
came likewise the possessor of a pair
of copper-toed boots, but, alas I when
they cam. on. was a No. 3 and the
other a No. t. and th. town was a
long, long way off. and the roads
were hub-deep tn mud. We protest
ed earnestly, even fervently, that a
boot of one sise for on. foot and of
another aire for th. other was the
way w. liked boot.: that, In fact, we
could hardly bear to think of having
them any other way.
But parent, were firm, snd the
boot, hsd to go back, and the time
Intervening between when they were
sent back and th. new ones finally
arrived can only be calculated In
terma of geologic periods.
When a email boy Is waiting for
something he want, very badly In
deed, time walk, with leaden feet.
THK point to be made her. is that
No. 3 boot, and returned th. No. l's.
copper toe. and all, and happiness
prevailed In Royston when th. pack'
age arrived.
SUBSERVING what goes on about
ua today. It's a little hard to
realize that so short . tlms back a.
th. 1st. '90'. a pair of copper-toed
boot, could bring so much joy. But
they DID.
Wa hear a lot of talk about the
wold slipping backward toward the
dark ages. Instead of going forward
steadily toward something better and
conatantly better, but If we are aa
smart aa we ought to be we won't be
lieve too much of It,
It ba. gon. a long way sine the
Ws, and the little enough that ordl
nary people have now la BIO aa com
pared with what they, had then.

Communications
If They're sincere
To the Editor:
I see by the papers that there la an
organization being formed by college
students called "The Veterans of Fu
ture Wars."
, If they are sincere In forming this
organization It works in fine with the
preparedness program of the United
States, for In order to fight a future
war you need to be prepared. We
rushed Into the last war without
preparation and suffered an awful toll
of life by so doing; so let us profit
from this experience and be prepared
I would suggest that the by-laws
of the organization make It manda
tory that each member of the organi
zation Join a national guard com
pany, attend a reserve officers train
lng school or request ths college they
attend to establish compulsory mili
tary training. By so doing, each
memzers will be able to enter the
next war fully trained and able to
give a good account of himself.

Cause For Thanks
To the Editor:
Did you ever atop to think what
the people here In Rogue river valley
had to be thankful for, while at tlmee
the weather (especially the fog) Is
trying on our nerves and Is not Just
to our taste.
How far would your nerves take
you back in- the flood area of the
east tonight? All of your savings of
a life-time swept away In a moment
and probably some loved one along
with It; maybe a father In his desper
ate efforts to save some loved one,
The damage done there will take
years to repair. If It Is ever done.
Thousands without homes with noth
lng but water and destruction on all
aides. As for those people who have
been suffering from cold and severe
weather conditions for the last four
months what do you suppose their
feelings and thoughts for the future
are tonight?
We should be more than thankful
that we live In Rogue river valley,
Oregon. And still we hear discontent
talked on every aide. At no time In
history, has there ever been a mint
mum disaster recorded here and that
Is something that we ahould be proud
of don't you think so?. I do.

Warning To Congress
To the Editor:
In a letter received today from
Dr. J. C. Evans, assistant auperin
tendent of the state hospital at
Salem, Ore., It Is stated that the
two institutions, located at Pendle
ton and Salem, were growing at the
rata of 100 patients per year. He
adds that "insanity In this country
Is increasing and 1 will continue so
until society evolves a senairjie
workable plan wherein the source
of supply of these unstable people
can ba cut off. Personally, I be
lieve thla can be brought about by
suitable eugenic laws and by tight
ening up our lax marriage laws."
This seems to me to be a very
Intelligent and humane decision on
the part of Dr. Evans, who speaks
from long study and experience of
the subject.
However, thla does not present
every aspect of the situation, aa It
does not Include the vast toll of
suicide, -the greater proportion of
which is caused by the discourage
ment of the times. Prom Jackaon
county, Oregon, there have been old
people sent to our state hospital,
whose minds have failed because
of lack of nutrition, and who have
had their minds restored after re
ceiving proper food and care. This
statement waa made by commis
sioner Coleman, before a meeting
of a Townsend club In Medford.
Suicide and Insanity are the log
ical fruits of a long depression that
has been deliberately planned and
executed by an International fi
nancier group that respects no na
tion and pursues its relentless way
toward political control of all na
tions. The old people who pioneered our
great nation, now starve and worry,
while congress blocks even a hear
ing of the McOroarty bill. A eon
gress that rushed through recog
nition ot red Russia and the Soviet
N. R. A. upon our western civilisa
tion, now balks at even a hearing
for the McOroarty bill, which might
result In a trial of ths Townsend
plan. This same congrea was re
luctant to push the Nye Invests
tlon to a complete exposure, or
American arch -breeders of war. Mor
gftn. DuPont, Schwab and Bernard
Barwh. oft times referred to as
the Baron of Jekyll Island," but
who ahould be recoervljwi a the
invisible hand at the control or
our government today.
After this exhibition of legisla
tive reluctance, our congress passes
an Inexcusably Inadequate neutral
ity measure, perm 1 1 1 lng. f orsoot h
trie industrisltifa to supply fuel for
the European war conflagration. The
president emphasises the wisdom of
the neutral policy In hla punne
addresses but fails to use hla In
fluent with a well trained con
gress to put tth in ti neutrality
laws. ,
Does the president, and do ths
congressmen as a whole, truly rep
resent the will of the American
people tcday? t think not. Surely
next November will witness as dras

mlle trip ONLY THREE MIN
UTES ahead of the car that drove
carefully and observed all traffic
regulations a gain of only 15
seconds per mile.
This was a remarkable demon
stration of how little It gets us to
drive crazy.
The reckless driver has a ner
vous excitement which he mis
takes for getting places quickly.
He's just kidding himself.
Drive recklessly and Illegally
and endanger your own life and
that of many other people, ln
eluding children, and you gain a
measly IS seconds per mile.
It's hardly worth while, is it?

There was really not much that Mr.
Roosevelt could do here except to
hsvs his picture taken Inspecting th.
Potomac, which be did. Most routine
details were elesred up that first day,
but, by that time, the flood was worse,
and the publicity adviser Insisted on
a second and third delay.
During this time It was discovered
that, among ths routine allotments
made for WPA, Mr. Roosevelt had
designated $18,41 1,633 for flood work
on February 29. Then, everyone
thought that the vast amount of lea
and snow which had accumulated
during the severe winter would causa
a flood when It melted within a-few
dsys. It didn't.
But when the unexpected flood

had an Inspirational flash of genius.

but vice-president Oarner had a

added tholr two good, trusted pals,
Senators Berkley and Plttman, to th.
committee. This gives them a 8 to 3

additional majority to see that tha
