Attended our first fcathing beauty contest yesterday, as ons of the "thousands that thronged the Midway," cccording to the morning paper. There were no "thousands" five hundred would bo a generous esti mate, and there was precious little beauty. Some thirty-odd girls, largely from San Diego, were delivered at the ramp by a couple of motor busses, and stood shivering in the icy breeze, preparing for what we should imagine wculd be one of the most trying ordeals to which young America womanhood could be subjected. , By chance the young girl who was later acclaimed the win ner, "Miss Exposition of 1936," took a seat beside us on the bench, so we had every opportunity for a close up. Tivo things distinguished her from her companions, a very plljant dim' pled smile and a glorious coat of tan, but not having at that time had a view of her competitors, we found ourselves won dering how she ever happened to enter such a contest. She cer tainly wasn't beautiful, her complexion left much to be desired, her eyes were bloodshot and death. We put her down roughly as about fifth from the last. But that only showed how contests. After each of the-entrants had paraded alone and unattended, mind you up the long ramp to the wise cracking announcer and the judges, and back again, and the 36 had been reduced to the best ten, we agreed our next door neighbor was the pick of the lot, and joined with the other valiant 500 to give her a hand. For that was the way the final selections were made, by the applause of the crowd, after the fashion of the Town Hall amateur night, an idiotic method with some girls bringing along their clacquers and others with none, but then the entire performance was idiotic, as far as that is concerned. After the 36 had paraded, young man on our right, took off his spectacles, wiped them carefully and remarked: "Are my glasses cock-eyed or didn't they call this a beauty contest!" No doubt it was his first beauty contest also (outside of the movies), which makes a great deal of difference. For, as we lenrned later, from another communicative male in the crowd, yesterday's exhibit of maid enly pulchritude even surpassed that of a year ago in fact the winner last year only got second place this "they might not look so hot here," he added, "but they would all go over big in the pictures." There may be something to the four leading beauties in the I f mnr n thnn tliov nouncer, bo obviously determined to live up to his local repu tation as a wit and his opportunities on such an "auspicious occasion" if it killed him. "All!" as one of the girls turns from him, "I see you're BACK, Betty. (Hal Hal) You represent the Legion, Miss La Snlle! Oh boy, who wouldn't join the army I Ah, Miss Florence Weed. If you're a weed, Florence, let. me hoe the garden I" (As one of the more professional looking, gnls struts off with a Mae West shrug) : "Er, judge; take the microphone, will you I'll be going 1 Ah, Doris Lang, sponsored by the Pullman Laundry so you came CLEAN up here Doris J So you don't represent Barnes' circus, Florence, but the Exposition Rodeo well that's a horse on me, Florence" and so on and so forth ad nauseam 1 , . ' . . . . Speaking of professionals the plain truth is if we are going to allow such barbarities, the entries should be LIM ITED to professionals chorus girls, mannikens, models, etc., etc. Four or five of them chiseled in on this contest two of them stand-in beauties from the Funehon-Marco show nearby but the crowd was on to them from the outset and they didn't have a chance, though on sheer beauty points they could have won hands down. When the "stand-in" for Ginger Rogers started up the ramp very good looking, too a big bruiser on the edge of the crowd yelled "Kick out the pros," and the crowd applauded. No doubt, he wanted the poor little kid from the People's cafeteria and covered with goose pimples to win. But, all in all, the crowd had the right idea, as crowds often do. In spite of the clacquers, the frantic handclapping uncles and cousins and aunts the whistling boy friends, the rooters from back home the mass judgment backed up by mass applause, was fight, and again gave support to the Dem" ocrntio principle. It was the chnrm, the apparent NICENKSS, and simplicity of the little girl from San Mateo that won. Yes, the MAJORITY was right. And when the gold cup was handed over and the ribbon pinned on the canary-yellow bathing suit and this 18-year old miss (who hopes to go to Stanford next year) was called to the microphone for a few words there was no doubt, of it. She stood there smiling (not SMIRKING), smiling naturally, looked over the crowd, swallowed hard, then said." "Thank you all so much. I know I am NOT beautiful. I really don't know how I won. But I am well, I am glad I did and and thank you!" That made a big hit with the crowd, and everyone was happy except about 25 poor kids, who had spent a couple of hours in that raw wind, most of them without even a neck muffler to shelter them from the cold, and failed even qualify for the first ten. Wn don't blame them so much but we do bliime the grown ups who got them there. They are the ones who should be spanked and scut to bed without their dinner. Ever since we arrived in California we have heard the sec ond year of the San Diego Exposition was not worth Rtreet ear fare. One man at Snboha who had spent one afternoon there said it couldn't compare with the county fair at Pomona. The Ford building was the only thing worth seeing anyway and that was not to be reopened, etc., etc. As is often the ease, expecting nothing we found a good deal, in fact from the standpoint of personal comfort and nat ural beauty, we would put this exposition ahead of any we have ever seen, and we have seen' most of them since the famous Columbia Exposition in Chicago in 1893, In the first place it is small, the buildings ditto; the dis tances not great, one doesn't need to take n train to get any whereone can walk all over the plni-e in an afternoon. Sec ond, there are no crowds, no heat, practically no sideshow thing worth while will he missed unless one keeps on the jump ballyhooing (outside of the Midway) and no feeling that some thing will be missed unless one keeps on the jump all the time. In short, it has all the advantages of the old fash ioned one ring circus, over the modern hippodrome, with three or four rings on the ground, and about as manv in the aiv. And of course conversely it hns the Unit is, if one is looking for size, wishes to odd to his store of useful information, wants to see the latest the world has produced in art, science, invention, etc.. etc., might as well stay away from the San Diceo ii. me greai iuisiiikc was made TIONAI, exposition- whih is is it national.

Beverly Hills, CaL THEY THINK TH Many misguided persons believe they do better work, accomplish more, work faster, when they have bad a drink of alcoholic beverage or liquor. Then under the effect of alcohol they are likely o be arbitrary about thla and to express con tempt or intoler a n c e for any scientific or faj tual evidence to the contrary. Medical scient ists have general. ly assumed that a limited quan tity of alcohol can be oxidized or burned and util lzed In the body as fuel Instead of food. They have thought that ths energy yielded by the combustion of this limited quantity of alcohol Is as available or applicable In the per- formance of muscular work as It is In providing heat. But more ac curate Investigation of the metabol ism of alcohol In the body has re cently shown that alcohol cannot be used In the performance of muscular work, but only for heating the body. The performance of muscular work demands food, not merely fuel; the food fuel required for muscular work Is sugar, the blood sugar, glycogen. glucose, dextrose, and that la derived from carbohydrate food starches and sugars. 1 This being so, there can be no, scientific or common sense grouivi for the notion that alcohol is a "food." Even as a fuel to provide heat It Is without practical value except In conditions where the patient Is un able to take proper food. It must be remembered that just as soon as person takes more alcohol than the limited amount the body can oxidize, burn and utilize as fuel (the excess gives a perceptible odor of alcohol or aldehyde on the breath), the ef fect of the mild intoxication la to cause Increased loss of body heat. through the withdrawal of blood from the Internal organs to the surface where it remains too long cooling off, in the relaxed arterioles. This action of alcohol explains why a per son exposed to extreme cold is more likely to freeze to death If he has been drinking. Because the first effect of alcohol Is to depress or lull the higher brain functions, such as Judgment, the drinker himself is incapable of per ceiving these effects of a drink or two. He thinks he Is stimulated, when In fact his consciousness is half asleep. When guests at a patty "wake up' urlder the influence of cocktails, wine or other alcoholic bev erage, they are really falling asleep, so far as the exercise of reason and Judgment are concerned. Repeated drinks still further drug or abolish the consciousness and then even the sllRhtly tipsy observer can see that (Continued from rage One.) one can make a a95.000.000 figure Into $170,000,000 In order to Impress the public with the work you are doing. Note Far more serious Is the fig ure in the report showing that only 30 per cent of the mortgages "ac cepted for Insurance" were new mortgages. The other 85 per cent was refinancing of old mortgages, which did not put a man to work or cause a single atick of new building. The name of the federal housing admin istration thus appear to be a mis nomer. It appears to have helped the mortgage market more than the builders.

Much Interested In article on let tuce, in which you told about its value as a source of vitamins, min erals, etc. Please tell me whether Roman lettuce is as good as ordinary lettuce In these respects . . . (Mr3. C. J. A.) Answer Lettuce contains vitamins A. B, C and O In good quantities; Ptomaine contains as much A and B. but less c and G. in minerals they are practically the same good sources of calcium, phosphorus and Iron. Optimal Is Ample. Someone told me of being cured of colitis by taking the double rations of vitamins you suggested. Whero can I get the double rations of vita mins? . . . K. K. C.) Answer Not double, but optimal rations that is, more of the various vitamins than we assume to be nec essary to prevent deficiency diseases. The booklet "Building Vitality," gives detailed information about vitamins and their effects. For a copy send 10 cents coin and stamped envelope bearing your adresa. Boric Acid Solution. Is It advisable to prepare a largo quantity of boric acid solution, bottle It. and use It as needed, for eyewash, gargle, mouthwash, etc? (D. M ) Answer No difficulty about pre paring aa much aa you need. Just put half an ounce (a rounded table spoonful) of borlo acid in a pint bot tle and fill the bottle with boiled water still hot. This may be used as eye drops or eyewash, mouthwash, gargle, ear drops or ear wash, nasal spray or Irrigation, douche, or as lotion or wet dressing where anti septic is required. (Copyright, 1936.

The house followed him In defeating the first bill, but both he and the house found out they were t wrong, after being properly educated. There is a movement afoot to re quire Mr. Jones to register under the Black lobbying bill. Also a ru mor is afloat that .Senator Black will subpoena Jones' telegrams. Nei ther suggestion will be carried out. Washington has a double standard for lobbyists. Lobbying is a public service If you happen to be for the bill the lob byist la for. It is a vicious prac tice If you happen to be against him. Unobserved Joker in the new house (Smith) lobbyist bill Is that political lawyers are omitted. They are not required to register and are not sub ject to the provisions of the legisla tion. Tluis the top class of Wash ington lobbyists escapes. Including all members of "the (25.000 club" (lawyer politicians who accept no fee below that sum.) Senator Black will try to hit them with his senate bill, but the house will remain adamant.

Comment on the Day'sNews By FRANK JENKINS N THE big days of the old Brick A Store, Klamath Falls waa Lli vllle, taking it name from the Link river, which In turn gets It name from the fact that It links the upper and lower lakes. (Ripley la author ity for the statement that Link river la the shortest river in' the world) Linkvtlle grew up on the banks of Link river, and owed Its beginnings to the fact that here was an easy crossing of the chain of lakes and rivers extending far to north and south. That made it a natural place for a settlement. LINK liver now is spanned by a fine concrete bridge. It then waa crossed by means of a wooden bridge. Then, as now. Link river waa a flyway for ducks In the fall. They tell an interesting story of duck shooting back in those daya. The shooters, so the story goes, would line up on the bridge, ' and each In turn would call h'.s duck, kill It and drop it on the bridge. (Most of us feel lucky enough to kill a duck and let It drop where It will but shooting standards seem to have been higher then or else the ducks flew much lower). Every shooter who failed to drop his duck on the bridge had to take the crowd Into the Bucket of Blood saloon, which stood near the banks of the river and not far from the Brick Store, and set 'em up all around. f (If there were as many poor shots then aa now, the Bucket of Blood must have done a rushing business, for with each trip to the bar It would get harder and harder to pick the right duck. Bu tthat Is the tale the old timers tell, and they stick to it). CONSIDERABLE space has been devoted here to these reminis cences (picked up from various sources) of the old Brick Store, not only because the story is Interesting In Itself but because It is typical of conditions that existed In thla West ern country up to a generation ago. In the old town of Shasta, near Redding, now a ghost city but once a rushing mining camp, Is an an cient store building that now houses a modest historical museum The old account books, running clear back to the '60s, are a part of thla museum. They tell a story of business trans actions essentially aim liar to those carried on In the Brick Store that Is, a combination of merchandising, banking, brokerage and general busi ness advtsorshlp. The general stores of those earlier days did a wide range of business and filled a big place in their communities. BA ANKS In this country ' weren't born full -panoplied, like . the Goddes Minerva. Like Topsy, they Just "growed up," out ot whatever business soli they happened to find, and the better kind of country stores, such aa the Brick Store, were rich soil for them to grow in. The able keeper of one of these country stores commanded the con fidence ot his customers. He had to have a good safe, for It waa necea- Schilling Bakirig Powder made from. CreamTartar makes iHj good things "yooder " FINE ary for him to keep considerable sum of money to carry on his busi ness. So. for his customer who had sold hi crop or his cattle. It waa a natural step to leave the money In the storekeeper' safe. It was an equally natural step for blm to write orders on the store for the payment of money. In that simple manner, banking came into much of this Western country, and the records indicate that It was a pretty sound sort of banking. It waa built upon confi dence in the PERSONAL INTEG RITY of the banker, which, after all, la the only real foundation for banking. WE READ now of men who went out and bought cattle, or hay. or other produce, running Into large sums, and paid for It with an order scribbled on the back of an envelope, perhaps, and written against an ac count that didn't-exist and whose total value consisted In the store keeper's or banker's CONFIDENCE in the honesty and business ability of the writer of the order. If we are cynical and modern, we say: "What saps the people were who accepted these orders In payment for their hard-earned property I" They WERENT saps. They KNEW the man who wrote the order knew his reputation, knew whether or not hla words would be made good with j deeds. Knowing these things, they were taking small risks. - IN THESE modern days, we sur round the transaction of business with a mass 'of laws' and regulations designed (sometimes wisely, some times not) for the protection of those who do business. The result of these laws and regulations has been to make of business a highly complex structure. In those earlier days, business practice waa much simpler. It was based upon confidence In the indi vidual, and if an Individual waa to command confidence he must Justify it by honesty and. fair dealing. Oth erwise, he couldn't hope to do busi ness on a very big Bcale. It wasn't a bad system. Card of Thank".
