The most imperative need, from the standpoint of the betterment of the highway system of Oregon, is the COMPLETION of the improved kiyous to the California line. There is a ten mile stretch construction. But according to be completed until a year from of the present "bottle neck" over the Siskiyous will not be ac complished until some time Ister. , If this work could not be speeded up, if constant delay and procrastination were necessitated funds, there would be less disposition, as far as Southern Ore gon is concerned, to complain. DUT while this construction find according to news articles in the Oregonian, that a $10,000,000 "water level" highway is contemplated along the Columbia River, to replace the way, generally recognized as one of the greatest scenic motor routes, in the world j while the expenditure of over a million is going to be expended for drainage, bank improvement, retain ing walls, the planting of shrubbery snd flowers,'! along per manent roads ALREADY constructed. In other words a second highway along the Columbia is pro jected, at ten times the cost needed to complete the Siskiyou section of the Pacific Highway ; to do this work, so sorely needed, the highways of this state, but tions. TE entirely agree with C. the Oregon Pacific Highway association, when he criti eizes this policy which places "road beautification above 'neces sary improvements," and declares "it would benefit Portland more to regain Southern Oregon and to break down the mountain the stream of north-bound tourists." From the standpoint of the welfare, not only of Southern Oregon, but the entire state, we can see NO EXCUSE for the failure to make the completion of the Pacific Highway to the California line, PROJECT NO. 1, on the highway program, and delaying all flower planting and landscape gardening as .well as duplication of highways which are now entirely satisfactory, until this important work is done Moreover in our opinion, replacing the present scenic Col umbia River highway, with a water level speedway, at a cost of $10,000,000 would be a step toward the destruction of one of the greatest tourist assets, the state has. Visitors don't motor along the Columbia to make time, they do so, to enjoy one of the finest scenio panoramas that is offered on the entire Pacific Coast. THAT phase of the question aside however, the Mail Tribune does believe, that whatever money there is available for new highway construction, should be devoted to the main ar tery of our entire highway system, the Pacific Highway, and until this work is DONE, all other extensive projects should wait. Be Sure to Register A WEEK from today is zero hour for registration. If your name is not on the registration list at closing time April 14th, you will not be able to vote at the May primary.. If you didn't vote at the last election, or since then have changed your place of residence, you must register to qualify. Also if you are a hew resident, or since the Inst election have come of voting age, you also must register. If for any reason you have changed your name, also must register. Needless to say the voting and every eiection is a test of privilege through indifference, heading of criminal carelessness. This is a warning to those who have not registered, to get busy at once and do so. Only a week remains. The time to act is now. Death of a Great Golfer ... It is a reflection that comes to one with word of the pass ing of H. Chandler Egan, who lived in Oregon, and who repeat edly had been a champion of the champion, and courteous. Oregon has been proud that monwealth, and Oregon will mourn him. It is something to have known the sportsman, whose name will be alike history and leg end for generations to come. It is something to have known the fiber of him. But, more thsn this, lege to know the friend. When vou see a man eminent fine breed, so surelv as though statesman.

TOBACCOSIS A preceding talk dealt with the nature and treatment of nicotine poisoning, that li, acute polaonlng f 4tKZi?'w' bT the alkaloid I ' J$f I nicotine" or by E 7 -' tobacco Itself. This talk deal with chronic to bacco polaonlng, or to bac coals; the pathological condition result ing from exces sive use of to bacco, w b ther by imoklng, chewing or tak ing anuff. We don't know how mucn of the barm Is done by the nicotine and how much la done by other components of tobacco smoke, notably carbon monoxide, pyridine, ammonia; to the term tobacoosla, or tobacco Lam if you prefer, seems more accurate than the term chronic nicotine poisoning. , Tachycardia, that Is, too rapid heart beat, la one of the most fam iliar signs of tobaccos la. A rapid pulse generally means weakening of the heart. Together with the fast heart beat there is usually more or leas breath leasneas on slight exertion; the "wind" Is poor; this la the reason why athletes must eschew smoking. When a young man finds he can't run a mile without getting winded, he had better consider the wisdom of temperance. When the shortness of breath falls to warn the victim or when he falls to heed the warning, a bit later come other symptoms which are more In teresting and more profitable for the doctors, particularly palpitation or attacks of pseudo-angina, and hyper chlorhydrla or acid stomach exces sive secretion of hydrochloric acid, attended In many cases with symp toms difficult to distinguish from the symptoms of gastric or duodenal ulcer. Amblyopia, Impairment of vision. Is a common symptom of tobaccosls. In some Instances the patient devel ops color-blindness, and relief from these handicaps Is to be gained only by abstaining from the use of to bacco, not merely for a week or a month but for good and all. Tobaccosls sufferers often ask how long It takes to eliminate the tobacco or nicotine from the system. The answer to that la simple enough; It takes only a few days. But the repair of organic damage from month or years of excessive Indulgence takes a good deal longer, and that la why It la essential to stop smoking for months or years In order to recover from tobaccosls. Tobaccosls Is disease resulting from prolonged polscclsg. High blood pressure and arterios clerosis are. In the opinion of many NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O. Mclntyre 1VEW YORK. April 7.

As a result the street which for a couple of years meant only con stanv ducking In doorways to dodge bailiffs began biasing hla fame with lights and banners. "Your Minstrel Man" they proclaim. And the minstrel motif Is Indeed descriptive of the sudden change. Honey Boy Evans, were he alive. could write his own ticket In cabaret or on the air. The veteran John Steele, thought incompetent discard, la again climbing to new favor. So are a half dozen others who combine the prosy art of the music hall bal ladlat with the Rudy Vailee nasal style. Frank Ray came out of undeserved ohACiirlty In this sudden backwash.

The throw back started agency angling for Irene Franklin and even the old Avon Comedy Four. I saw an unashamed snuff user in the foyer of the Btltmore the other evening.

Her cigars were mldgeta and especially rolled In Tampa. Cigar smoking to day among women la no longer cat alogued as curtosa, Coblna Wright, of the Social Register, often lights up a man-sized panatella and han dles It with Joe Cannon deftness. One of the more serious women stars calms herself before curtain rise by puffing a fragrant Havana perfecto and there Is a hoyden of the movies who burns up rattalled atoglee when with friends she feels won't "peach." One of whom, ha, ha, told me. The thimble pipe for Milady was not Irene Castle first with it? msde a fumbling bow several years ago but quickly withdrew. Theatrical press agenta worked overtime exploiting news plcturea of chorines lighting up. Avenue tobacconists displayed various models In their windows and a literary lady who had Just authored a risque book appeared here and there with one. But the idea was a mild flurry that died a-bornln. Many of the heaviest male cigar smokers are of the stage. Such as John Drew. Of the moderns Frisco, with hla "heaters," probably tops the list, lighting one upon awakening and puffing chain fashion until he snaps off the bed lamp at night. Joe Laurie, Jr. la a runner-up, sel dom without one In full glow. Rob ert Woolsey la another, as It Bobby Clark. And, of oourse, there are Qeorge Jessel and Francis Alberta ntl who puff tha fastest, longest and fiercest made. One after smother. Awkl I'm wondering what will happen to the male garter busineea. Mot of my friends, at well as myself, use elongated hosiery with woven elastic bands at the top to ho.d them tn place. King Edward kicked the Idea onto the first pages when he revealed a garterless calf at an Industrial ex hibit. The change Just about shears my only distinction.

TT 18 possible that a Republican 1 . may be elected President this fall. At the present moment, now ever, It isn't PROBABLE. It will all depend upon the Re publican nominee and the circum stances leading up to and accom panying bis nomination. . Tr-HIS much now appears certain: No Old Ouard, standpat Re publican can be elected President thle year. Neither U it probable that any dark horse who is looked upon by the voters aa having the un qualified approval and backing of the Old Ouard can "be elected. Any fairly competent observer can detect a swing of sentiment AWAY from Roosevelt and the New Deal, but no UNPREJUDICED person can profess to note even faint signs of a awing back toward the old leader ship of the Republican party. If the Republicans win In No vember, it must be with new men. THAT leads rlghVup to a situation here in Oregon. Ralph Williams, who has been Re publican national commtlteeman from Oregon since ttbout the time the Willamette river was dug, is ap parently going after the same Job again. He has said that he wont and has said that he will, but Hhe latest Information Is that he will. Ben .Dorrls of Eugene Is alao seek ing the more or less honorary posi tion of Republican national commit teeman. WILLIAMS Is an Old Ouard stand patter. In the days when the Old Ouard of the Republican party was In the saddle, he was useful to Oregon, for he had a wide acquaint ance among the men who sat In the seats of power. It was often said that he was as effective for hla state aa any member of the Oregon dele gation In congress. Dorrls is one of the younger crew, a veteran of the World War, nation ally known in veteran circles and definitely aligned with the younger, newer element of his party which will come Into power If and when the Republican party comes back. e THIS, then, is .the situation: If Roosevelt is re-elected, it will make no difference whatever who is Republican national committeeman, for In that event ANY Republican would have about as much Influence In Washington as Halle Selassie would have In Rome. If the Republicans win, with new leadership (as must be the case, in this writer's Judgment, If they win at all) Williams' effectiveness twill be ended, because the men he has known and worked with for years will not be among those present. I In either event, he will be OUT- - RALPH WILLIAMS, In his time, was a good man for Oregon, and there Is no thought here of dis crediting the work he has done for hla state in his unofficial capacity aa Oregon member of the Republican national committee. The point is (f Remember Om offer yoa... BBS tsjMiai mmwmmmm m that his time is PAST. Dorrls is of the younger genera tion of Republicans, and his ac quaintance, bit contacts and hla in fluence are with the men who will be sitting 'in the seats of the mighty If. and when the Republican party is returned to power. Those who are Interested In build ing a NEW Republican party to re store the principle that were gradu ally lost sight of by the men who held TOO MUCH POWER TOO LONO will be inclined to vote for Dorr it.
