Saturday is a big day for the merchants, but here they close up shop at noon for the week-end don't open their doors until 9 a. m. Monday morning. Ye editrtr need ing a clean shirt for his appearance in more or less respectable society, sallied forth after luncheon to get one. But whilo Wool worth's and several drug stores were open, no men's shops near the Grand Central Station were,, and no department Btores. Ev erything shut up tight as a drum. Oxblood polo shirts at a varie ty shop were offered at 08 cents, but we decided our Medford product even if well soaked with Chicago smudge and cinders from the N. Y. Central right-of-way, would impress the await iug family better than to appear in such a bizarre outfit in or thodox and conservative Stonington. So we kept our money and turned down the fat, bald and perspiring variety salesman flat. Perhaps the assurance that he wore oxblood polo shirts on HIS week-ends, had something to do with it. We didn't like his manners or the out of his jib. Perhaps the New York Central is not the worst railroad in the United States but it. is certainly one of them. Wo camo here from Chicago on the "Commodore Vanderbilt" named after the famous ferry-boat captain who coined the memorable phrase: "the public be damned," which vance in railroad service since mark his heirs and assigns are trying to shoot at. It ig really most striking, the complete and shocking change in attitude and atmosphere, as tjio traveller fers at Chicago from the U. P. or any western road to the grandpappy of them all, the venerable and self-satisfied N. Y. C. The best way to describe it might be to say the New York Cen tral is well named, with the emphasis on this NEW YORK it is a little chunk of Broadway, metallic, matrialistic, entirely point of view throughout. Can't complain of the speed. dobouched at 42nd street at 8:20 sharp the next morning, the old Commodore roaring over the But say that and you say EVERYTHING.

We have ridden on every railroad system operating north of Mason and Dixon line and the N. Y.

An example la the caee of Danlel- aon versus Roberta, which originated in Jackson county about forty years ; ago and was carried to the supreme court of Oregon. In soma respects the report reada like romance Instead ! of the meie recital of legally eatab-! llahed fact which It la, of course. In 1B94 two small boys, eight and 1 ten years of age. were employed by I nelghbora to clean out an old chicken house which had been atandlng on the property many years. While so engaged, the boys dug up an old, rust-eaton, half-gallon tin can con taining a number of musty and par tially decayed tobacco sac lis filled with gold coin. In the words of the elder of the boys, given on the wit ness stand: I was In the back of the building! spading through the trash and the i point of the shovel struck something' hard. I shoveled the traah away and 1 got the can on my spade and was going to throw It In the sled. It! was too heavy ao I dragged It out to- I ward me a foot or so and told my brother the can must be full of i rocks. . , . I took the pick and chop ped through the ltd and when I pulled It out the ltd came with It. , In doing so X cut two of the sacks tobacco sacks containing flvea and twenties. Bo we looked through all the sacks, which were gold. . . . My brother aaya. 'Iefs take It over home,' I aaya, "No let a take ; It up and show It to Dee Roberta. So we pnekfd It lip on the spade to gother. ... We packed It up to the. porch steps and Dee came out and J says, "What you boys got?' We aaya. j 'A can of gold.' 'Where did you get it t" 'Out In the henhouse.' So Mary Robert. Dee's wife, and O'Netl came to the door and said, 'Let'a have It,' bo we gave It to them. They walked Inside and closed the door In our face and we went back to work to! finish our Job. About a half hour after, Dee called us out and aaya: "Here's five cent, hoys. We put the money there some time ago and were going to huy something with It. Don't say anything about It and the Lord will bless you.' We asked how j much there waa In the can. He Mid. 'Over seven thousand dollars."' j Persons who felt a nickel and di vine approval waa not enough reward : for the boy a had a gvnrdian ad litem1 appointed and action waa brought toj recover the 7000 for the young find-! ers. The Jarknon county court held agnlnst them, but. on appeal, the state supreme court. In an opinion delivered by Justice Robert 8. Bean, reversed the decision and ruled the boys were entitled to the money. The case haa become an authority in the law for rules that persons who find loat property, or property for which there la no known owner, ac quire title thereto and the right to rxwMton thereof as against all the world but the true owner, and thxt the owner of the soil In which treas ure trove la found .equlrea no title thereto by virtue of his ownership of the land.

It Is fascism vs. communism, a dicta torship of the exploiting claaa try ing to overthrow a dictatorship of :he proletariat, on just a bad a the other, so seems to go the popular opinion, But If my memory serves ma right we, the long-suffering, ahort-memorled public, have been fooled both before and behind and previously. I think on reason for the Indif ference to thla atruggl that la going on In Spain la because we do not understand th. meaning of the much uaed expression, "dictatorship of the proletariat," I. . communism, nor hat It or fascism stands for. Of course this la due to not having gone Into the matter sufficiently. Our federal income cenau report should b enough to convlnc one that the proletariat la In the majority In thla country. In most of the other countries of the world the percent I much larger. Surely, then, w should lend our sympathy to a peo ple who are bringing about a gov ernment by and for the benefit of thla majority. This principle of gov ernment by the majority and for them la the easence of democracy and la embodied In our constitution. If ever practiced to the letter, we have drifted far afield. W still have a r.ovemment by the people but not foi them, thanks to the art ao well rec ognised by p. T. Barnum. When the proletariat, or majority class, awake from their mesmeric ulumber and demand their Juat share of the bountiful product of earth and labor, then the old order make her last stand.

THE OVER In my experience the birth of ba bies from 10 to 30 per cent larger and heavier than average haa not been more dlflcult than ordinary labor. Not that I have Dome so many, but, after all, I've been master of cetemonles at a number of bless ed events and, hard boiled tho one be and Inur ed to throes and all that, one can not help observ ing the most awe Inspiring apectac le of life. Believe it oi not. X was not hard-boiled, cold blooded nor unsympathetic in my early years of practice. On the con trary, I waa a pushover for the dead beats for miles around. ThJtt la, for all but one, and that one was. pretty mad, threatened to have my license revoked, when I refused to rush to his aid at the last minute a second time, having warned him after the first occasion that It would be quite useless to attempt to work the same dodge on me again. The dodge waa to wait until the arrival of the baby im pended and then summon the unsus pecting doctor to render first aid In an emergency a woman dying, still, even If a doctor feels Justified In talk ing turkey to the ordinary D.B. who seeks his services, It is a different sit uation when a miracle Is concerned. And even If the woman herself is party to the conspiracy to beat the doctor, there la always one Innocent party vitally concerned, and the doc tor simply can't leave the; baby out of consideration. Surely the baby can't help if one or both parent are dis honest. Note. I say dishonest not poor, out of work, stranded, support ed by charity or by the kindness of relatives, but Just plain dishonest. The Instance mentioned above Illus trates what I'm talking about. Had that wily bird coma to the doctor six months, six weeks, even six hours In advance to engage hi service, there would have been no hitch at all. But I can't stomach the liars who delib erately choose to worry along with false pretenses. Nowadays it seems to be the prae tlse of some physicians to prescribe restricted diet for the expectant mother in the final montha for the purpose of limiting the size of the baby and presumably assuring an Roosevelt, Landon Visit Is Problem For Iowans DE8 MOINES, , Aug. 38.

Not only is this principle based upon unsound Ideas of nutrition, but In actual practice It proves unsuccessful or perhaps harm ful. If the prospective mother's nutri tion la scientifically and sensibly maintained on the plus or optimal side of what we know to be adequate, neither she nor her baby will become too large or too fat.

The Strand theater building Is known in the Broadway shabblness as both Heart break House and Amateurs Para dise. On the third floor Is the bevy of o f f 1 c e a to which eager-eyed aspirants to vari ous amateur hours trudge from all over, hugging the Big Ambition. This floor la the clearing house of dreams the rose tinted, medium and utterly forlorn. The amateur buslneas la nothing new to the agency trade. There have been many since the days of Tony Pastor's. Recruiting brash boys and glrla for the hook or a five spot. Of course, since the Major Bowes and Fred Allen triumphs on the air, along with the veritable army of lea ser amateur exploiters, this type of agency flourishes like the fabled ce dars of Lebanon. And all amateurs seep up to the Strand's third floor to. bivouac for calls. No one knows, of course, how long the amateur appeal will last. One day It seems on the wane and the next, booming. But one thing Is certain, there Is no limit to the nobly rising supply of talent. There's 80 per cent more good stuff available than Is usable even -with the In creased outlet.
