MEDFORD Hurry Home, Rosey! aEDF0RD won't seem natural without Rosey stamping - around the Main Stem, as well as the highways and by ways of this man's town. Rosey came here before most of us knew there was such a place as Medford, and has been here practically ever since, until he has become a Ideal institution, the removal of which to a San Francisco hospital, will leave a yawning gap which can't be filled. So we .Tge Rosey to hurry back, as soon as that broken hip, renders transportation on his beloved and now solicitous, S. P. possible., We will somehow muddle along without him with out his cheery greeting, his never failing kindness and courtesy, his loyalty to this community and the organization he serves, but we don't want that period extended, any further than his own bodily comfort and peace of mind, demand. . . FOR Medford without Rosey isn't Medford, that's the long and the short of it. In public service he has been the most efficient official the S. P. or any other railroad ever had. And in southern Oregon he has been more than that, he has been a sort of ambassador of good cheer and good will, a liason officer between the many different cliques and factions on the job, for young and old, all the time. FRIENDS! Rosey has more friends real ones in this com munity, than most of us have acquaintances, and what is there that he wouldn't do for them if it should lay within his ower! If he had been in charge of the public relations of the Southern Pacific, that railroad would be the most popu lar railroad in the United States, today. Most of them, com paratively speaking, little things, but little things count in this life of ours, lis all the older boys and girls know. So, In deploring the unfortunate slip that broke Rosey 's hip, and in wishing him a comfortable convalescence, a quick re covery, and a prompt return, the Mail Tribune merely expresses the sentiments of this ENTIRE COMMUNITY and all southern Ore lion. Hurry home Rosey. The boys and girls are lost without you ! A Tragic Shame THE Mail Tribune has been one of the few consistent and nprsisfpnt sunnortors of the Leaeue of Nations. AVe sup ported, the idea when first broached by President Wilson, and we have from time to time, supported it ever since. .We still do, in PRINCIPLE. But as a loynl advocate of the idea we are now willing to admit, that those who at the outset said the proposition wouldn't work and would merely entangle this country in European intrigues and complications if it became a member, were right, and we, who believed otherwise, were wrong. The condition in Europe today demonstrates clearly that the Lcnguo won't work. Not because it is wrong, but because the spirit of its membership is wrong dead wrong, and in every real crisis HAS been wrong. THE culpability of the various nations vary, but by and large iliov nrn nil in thn snme boat. Thev are still using the r.mrnA nnf br a medium to medium for political and military advantage for THEMSELVES in prepiirt ',inn for another world war. Wo still believe and believe strongly, the only hope for world pence, lies in a covenant of cooperation, conciliation and collective action, participated in equally, by all the world powers. . Hut until a different spirit pervades the nations of the world this remains a beautiful ideal, but NOT a realisable one. AT least Hint's the way it looks at the preseut writing. The latest report from Europe that. League sanctions against Italy, have prnetienlly been called off, is the last straw. No renl neion against Jnpan. No real action against Italy. No action against Germany. And now Turkey has followed Germany's example and occupied the Dardanelles, it's & ten to one wnger there will be no action against her. What, n fiiive, a ghnstly nnd a tragio one. Back to the old junglo rule of tooth and claw, tho submission of the weak to the force of the strong. The Ix-ngtie of Nations was the right idea, still is, but the world hns not advanced sufficiently to appreciate it. We enll ourselves civilized but the grim truth is we AREN'T! Decrease In Unemployment WITH r,4 13,000 of the nation's 10 million unemployed hav ing gone back to work in private industry between March lflXi and Peeember, 1!3. the prospects of absorbing many more during the first six months of IMti are considerably heightened by the rising trend of business activity. Confirming this view, the National Industrial Conference Board which released the above figures, expects the industrial upturn to employ a total of S.S'.tL'.OOO persons before July 1 of this year. Relief figures for IMS show lS.SOO.OOO persons, (iucludii;? dependents, children and tigeiO or 14. 8 of the total population still receiving federal and state aid. This is a decrease of al most 4 from previously published data. While it is impossible to ascertain the exact number of people who have withdrawn or been dropped from relief rolls or government projects within the Inst three months, it is safe to assume that with daily addi tions to relief rolls nnd the large number of unemployable, the number of those still on relief has not been material de creased since l'.:tr. figures were published. Of course it should be realie.l there are thousands on relief, who are not employ. ,1, (ho very young, the very old and the physically or men tallv incapacitated.

Personal Health Service By William Kilned letters pertaining to personal health and hvrlene not to disease diagnosis or treatment will be answered by Dr. Brady If a stamped self-addressed enirlope Is enclosed. Letters should be brief and written In Ink. owing to tha large number of letters reolved only a few can be answered. No reply can ha made to queries not o?r, forming to Instructions. Address Dr. WlUlam Brady, 269 El Camlno, Beverly Bills, CaL ; 81'NNT, CHANGE, OBAV, ST One of our readera (Mrs. H. H. W.) writes that she heartily com mends our . Program of education for the public. I stare m benefited greatly by It. But there Is one topic you might well talk more about, and that Is tha men opause epoch of a woman's life. "For several years I waa ao miserable I could hardly do my own work " (Here, by all the rules ol procedure, tha lady should aay that her food did her no good and even doctors were unable to help her and seven of 'em gave her up their bllla came back mark ed NOT KNOWN). "I have alwaya believed that men opause made no difference to health. So, when the doctor tlld me It was 'Just my age' I didn't believe It and went to another doctor." (Sensible woman. If It were "Just your age." every woman would auffer In health at the age of 48 years or so. The truth la that only a minor ity of women experience any disturb ance of health at that age. So this old fogy doctor yho told the lady It waa "Just her age" did not deserve public confidence. The trouble Is that there are too many of bta Ilk In the medical profession). "I went to another who said the same thing. I atlll didn't believe It. and went to a third doctor and he gave me ovarian substance, and Im mediately my aymptoma (which any body might notice when out of sorts) left. Once more I enjoyed doing my work. "This docor told me he had given It to many women Buffering aa I waa. Why didn't the other doctors I conaulted prescribe thla and save me yeara of misery? It la pitiful the number of women who are dragging around Just trying to live through five or six years which should be their best yeara. should be their best yeara. "I wlah that all wome nmlght have the relief that I have had. Could you not add thla to your cur riculum? "The doctor told me that when the ovarlea ceased functioning normally the system Is Just aa much upset aa when any of the other glanda fall to function. "I take tha ovarian aubstance In (such and such form) though It Is supposed to be more effective If ad ministered hypodermlcally." I do not know, and I am aure the lay reader will not understand. Just what the dootor meant when he spoke of the normal cessation of ovarian function. For there are two functions Press Comment Governor Martin U Btsht Earl Fehl, former Judge of Jackson county, declines parole from the state prison under the condition that he remain away from Jackson county during the term of his parole. Thereby he will forfeit his claim to sympathy In the minds of fair-minded people. Governor Martin's stipulation In offering Fehl his freedom was one entirely proper. If Fehl had no in tention of fomenting further trouble In Jackson county he should have found no difficulty In accepting it. Were his sentence completed he would be In a position to stand on his right to go wherever he might choose. To be freed under parole la something different. It is the duty of the executive to safeguard the public interest by imposing upon a paroled prisoner such conditions as seem to him necejsary. . All this Is apart from the question of the wisdom of bringing Fehl under the parole law Instead of permitting his release under the good-behavior rule followed In the cases of many other prisoners during the past thir teen years. Qrantlng that proced ure to be unlawful, as held by the attorney-genersrs office, it still re mains the fact that its revocation should have been made in some case other than that of Fehl, who Is thereby made to appear as a political prisoner. Initiation of the proceed ing to keep Fehl in prison by the Jackson county authorities is III soTlsed and discriminatory, The attorney -general's office declares erroneous the report that a prior opinion from that office had validat ed the state prison procedure of lib erating prisoners without parole by a system of good behavior credits. No such prior opinion had been given by the attwney-genersl's of fice. The Oregonlan acknowledges with regret Its own part In the spreading of that error. Portland Oregonlsn. The lehl Parole Farl H. Fehl. former Judpe of Jack son county, serving a four year term In states prison for complicity in the ballot box theft that culminated In murder, has refused a conditional parole offered by Governor Martin and will Institute habeas corpus pro ceedings to secure his unconditional release. He contends that his release Is mandatory as he Is entitled to 18 months deduction of sentence for good behavior, in the same manner other prisoners have been released since IMS. The attorney general rules otherwise. It Is well to have the Issue settled and find out whether custom and precedent supercede the letter of the law which makes release of a prison er befoie the expiration of a sentence for good behavior credits subject to approval by the governor. The parole conditions that Mr. Fehl retuite to accept specify that he refrain from enfming in any political or civic activities which would be subverntve to the peine ?ncl I'drmdir of Ja'k'on cuntv conduct h.msell honest 1 j, atoid evil associa Brady, M.D. ORMY, BUT CLEAR AT LAST concerned, primarily the giving off of an ovum or female parent cell monthly from the age ot 13 to the age of 50 yeara. more or leas, and aecondarlly the pouring Into the blood of a hormone or Internal secre tion which Influences the entire or ganism of the woman In many ways, though we have much yet to learn about thla part of the ovarian func tion. Such hormone treatment as the correspondent received Is sometimes quite happy. In Its effect, particularly In caaea where hot flaahea cause much distress. Again It provea dis appointing. Perhaps thla lack of uniformity In action la due to our inadequate knowledge of the hor mone and the proper way to prepare It for medicinal use. The medicine la prepared from the ovarlea of healthy young sows, sheep or pigs. It may be that the medicinal value dependa on the age and condition of the animal and the time of the montb or season when the animal la slaughtered. Normally women auffer no III health or dlatresa of any kind from meno pause. That'a why I do not harp on the aubject here. I have a little mon ograph on "Change of Life" which I am glad to send to any woman who aska for It and lnclosea a stamped envelope bearing her address. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Dentor Is Right My dentist said he haa never heard of clampa being made to atop tongue sucking. My 7-year-old eon Is los ing his teeth. The two lower front teeth protrude outward caused by pushing his tongue against them when he sucks It. (Mrs. P. B.) Answer. The dentor haa nothing on me. I have never heard of such appliance either. But the dentlat should Install a suitable appliance to atralghten the teeth. The tongue aucklng, aa you call It. la more likely the effect than the cause of the lrreg uarlty of the teeth. If your dentor doea not do such work he can refer you to one who does the work Is called orthodontia, atralghtenlng lr regularltlea of the teeth. 1DS0 Calories la It harmful to the atomach or the rest of the body to drink a quart of mUk each meal? I like milk with the rest of my food. I am 20 years old, 06 ;4 Inches tall. Ana. No. On the contrary.

Calir tions, obey the law. abstain from use of Intoxicating liquors or drugs. Fehl'a release waa protested by of ficials and people of Jackson county, because of his record as an Instigator of political disturbance, who feared he would disturb the peace and har mony that has prevailed since his Incarceration along with that of L. A. Banks, serving a life sentence for murder. , It is natural that Fehl would re fuse to accept parole conditions for his main occupation would be gone. For over 30 yeara he has been a hell raiser and done his best to keep the county in turmoil and the depres sion gave him his opportunity to cash in. (Salem Capital -Journal.) SALEM MINISTERS SALEM. Ore- April 18. (AP) Sa lem Mehodlst ministers entered a protest against staging a '"mock bat tle" here Sunday. The resolution, signed by four pas tors were directed at the contact camp of the Reserve Officers' asso ciation which scheduled combination air and ground war games here to morrow morning. About 200 officers and 10 planes were expected here to participate In the two-day meet starting today. The resolution of protest stated: "We note with concern that ar rangements are being made to have a battle scene of a mock wsr in Sslem on Sunday and that 'the mili tary minded will be there. "It would seem that If such dem onstrations must be, that those in charge would be wl enough not to outrage the Ideals and reverence of a very large group of cltleena by stag ing such military practice on the 'Lord s day." "Being preachers In a church which saya 'our churches shall not be used in preparation for war; they shall be used In preparation tor peace.' we desire to record our pro test. The deliberate use of the day for military propaganda that has been set aside for worship makes us ap prehensive. It seems to to thst all peace lovers ought to think pretty carefully ol what conditions are In countries where the military has con trol, and If there be no protest, what they thtk may become like here.'

I mean President Roosevelt's speech last night. Kot quite enough blood and thun der, to suit some of the red meat eaters. While It was not a Sunday school sermon It was very refreshing from one standpoint, that even the presi dent of the U. 8- of A. haa come to the conclusion that there baa got to be something done for both the old folks and the youth of this the greatest country In the world. Now if this Isn't news, we don't know what news Is. Here we have been running around in circles for the last five or six years, and did not know what was the matter with us and President Roosevelt found It all by himself and he cornea right out and tells us. The president says: Raising the question whether ttla not possible and right to limit the active working ages at both ends. (He did not tell us of course that they were pretty well limited at the present.) Mr. Roosevelt said: Work out for yourselves what would happen. If all the boys and all of the girls of 14, IS, 16, 17, who are now working In Industry, found It possible for them to stay In school until they were at least 18 years old. How many Jobs would that give to young people of the nation who have graduated from high school and from college? He visions more Jobs. In the same way, ask yourself, how many more Jobs would be created If the great majority of people who are now over 65 (to take a figure at random) were in a position to retire In security, for the balance of their days here on earth. If any one has any good reason why this should not come to pass, let's hear what It Is. P. J. Kirkpatrtck. Star Route, Box fi7. April 18. The Lloyd Lewis Case To the Editor: Tour comment on the Lloyd Lewis plagiarism case hits the nut squarely on the cabeza, in pleasing contrast to the mawkish sympathy which the Oregonlan expressed for this youth ful thief. There is a deplorable ten dency these days to excuse Ignorance and moral depravity In young people, one result of which as you point out is to fill Jails with teen-age adolescents and young men In their early twenties. True, Lewis probably never had heard the word "plagarlsm," thanks to the superficial way in whloh Eng lish is taught in high schools. It Is not possible, however, that a young man of 18 believed It honest id proper to copy what someone else had written, palm It off as his own and pocket a 95000 prize for so doing. As you state, Lewis is not the type for which our colleges were built. A four-year course in the U. 8. navy would do this young Missourlan more good than a higher education. A po sition at the foot of a primary class In character building, with heavy penalties for cheating, Is where he belongs. This disgraceful incident Is an ex treme result of permitting high school and college students to lean heavily upon text-books, Instead of doing their own thinking. Ask the average young man or woman to write an essay or make a speech upon even a common subject, without any outside help, and he or she is help less, at a loss for words and Ideas. Instead of teaching boys and girls to think; training them to retain what they have learned; drilling them In reasoning and the logical presentation of fact and ideas, stu dents are permitted to limp through school on text-book crutches, getting by with parrot-like repetition of what others have written and said. Remove printed props snd the aver age young person Is as helpless as a one-armed paperbanger In fly time. Most people, young and old. arc mentally lazy, willing to let others do their thinking. Millions of such won't even make the intellectual ef fort needed to show that a country can't be made prosperous by Its money makers turning one-third of their income over to old people and letting the latter spend It, instead of those wao earn it. as Is being done now.
