While they were In the market James

a Ford pickup. They forced Reynolds
out of the car and drove away at a
rapid pace.
Court and police records show that
they headed north on the Pacific
highway, swung west over the Voor
hles crossing, and then abandoned
the car in some timber west of Phoe
nix. From there they walked to the
Newbry packing plant on tho edge
of Phoenix, and telephoned for a
Medford taxlcab. In this cab they
were driven to 'Ashland, and boarded
a southbound bus there. '
The cab driver notified police of
the peculiar actions of tho two, and
the California authorities were noti
fied. At 8:18 Saturday morning they
were taken off the bus at Redding
by Chief of Police Mickey Riley and
Officer McDsnlels. At first, according
to police, they denied complicity In
tho boating and robberies, but, later
admitted their part In the Phoenix
affairs and waived extradition.

.THE LESS SUNSHINE
The most recent Investigation of
the problem of preventing rickets in
dicates that an Infant at the age of a
month . should
receive dally for
a year, from 1000
to 3000 units of
vitamin D. That
r o p r e s ents
much vitamin D
as Is present In
from one to two
tablespoonfuls of
cod liver oil.
Clearly no young
baby could take
so much cod liv
er oil. In the
past doctors have
compromised or rather gauged the
dosage by guesswork, giving the
young Infant perhaps one-half tea-
spoonful dally and after a month or
two Increasing to a teaspoonful or
sometimes two tesspotnfuls dally.
That waa helpful, possibly quite suf.
ncicnt to prevent rickets In some
ctscs especially when the baby hap.
pened to nave his place In the sun
and enough of the few natural foods
which contain vitamin D milk,
cream, butter, egg yolk. But experi
ence proves that the old standard
dosage was too low, and experience
further proves that the dose of 3000
units dally , approaches the' optimal
and does effectually prever.t rickets.
Physicians today are taking advan
tage of modern science 'and prescrib
ing synthetic vitamin D, made by
Irradiating food substances called
ergOBtorol, with ultraviolet light of
certain accurately determined wave
length. The product Is called vlos
terol and Is available under various
trade names, there being no differ
ence between the various brands,
unit for unit, except price to the
consumer. '
Ono drop of such synthetic vita
min D (It comes In liquid solution)
contalna nearly or quite as much
vitamin D as a teaspoonful of the
best cod liver oil that la, from 250
to 300 units. So that ten to fifteen
drops constitutes an optimal ration
of vitamin D for the growing Infant.
Adults with chronic arthritis are
now treated, with much success, with
dally dosea of from 200.000 to 400,000
units of vitamin D In this same form.
No one knows Just how much vita
min D ordinary folk require to keep
them at their highest level of health
and efriclency.
We do know that people who, thru
environment or necessity do not en
Joy sufficient exposure to sunlight
havo a correspondingly low produc
tion of vitamin D. and they particu
larly need the addition of vitamin D
to their diet. Especially people living
lh Industrial towns where the atmo
sphore Is generally full of smoke.

Note Commenting on the
dla-
parity between production and reem.
ployment, Col. Leonard Ayrea, the
noted Cleveland economist, says cur
rently: "It now seems not Improbable
that, within the next few months, we
msy have In this country the curious
anomaly of a statistics! recovery al
most to normal levels which will, at
the same time, fall far short of being
satisfactory economic or social re
covery. We are achieving normal lev
els of Industrial production which are
accompanied by growing numbers of
local labor shortages, while, at the
same time, there Is a huge continuing
amount of unemployment."
A harbinger of atronger business
expectations la the stiffening of
prices all along the line. The general
price level (not Including farm and
food) had been stable for montha un
til recently. Advances are now creep
ing upward all along the line.
Since last May the general Indus
trial level haa risen from 78.8 to
79.7, which Is a rather strong Incresee
as price levels go.
Strongest Increases are shown In
these lines: Textiles now 70.4, up 9
since May: metals 86.3. up 8: chem
icals and drugs 79.3. up 3.3: building
materials 86.9, up 1.4; miscellaneous
71.6, up 3 5.
Note The trend also Is noticeable
In plana of the ateel Industry to In-
crease prices and wages. Despite all
the denials you have been reading
from the steel companies, there will
be a Joint price-wage Increase within
60 to 90 days (probably after elec
tion).
Lifting of food prices has Just
started. Farm prices are up 10 full
points from a May low to 74.4 to 84.6
for the last available week. Foods
were up from 77.4 to 83 8 in the same
period. Household rurntsMngs show
little change in the same period. But
the upward trend of living costs Is
definitely established.
All In all, the figures suggest we
are In a new general economic trend.

nificant. Then there are individuals who.
even when they have the chance to
bathe In .the sun, can stand only a
brief exposure which produces a
painful burn and not a tan effect.
They, too, should supplement their
deficient Intake and deficient pro
ductlon of vitamin D with either i
fish oil or with one of the vitamin
D concentrates. How much, I can
only estimate I think from five to
ten drops of the concentrate dally
would be about right. It Is practl
cally tasteless.
I Just wonder I know nothing
whatever about lt whether such
supplementary source of vitamin D
may not tend to prevent chronic
arthritis. Maybe we'll know more
about this when a few million more
people have tried out the Idea.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Hatch for Signal
Once or twice a year I have a
nasty sore throat, I just take aspirin
and lay up for a day or two. What
can you suggest to put on It, If any
thing? ... (C. H. W.)
Answer A red rag kept wet with
cold water. The cold moist compress
relieves soreness. The color warns
people to keep away.
Acid Obsession
When a person has overacld condi
tion In blood what acid Is It that
throws off the balance and what can
one take to permanently prevent
acidosis? What foods are alkaline?
(Miss E. R. E.)
Answer A person not restricted
in diet will never suffer any auch
acid condition. The notion of too
much acid or acidosis from food is a
morbid fancy propagated by humbug
'food specialists". Tomatoes, citrus
fruit, dried beans, beets, carrots,
peaches, apples, currants, raisins, po
tatoes, dried peas, lettuce, cabbage,
cauliflower, almonds, bananas, rad
ishes turnips, celery, muskmelon and
milk, cheese, cream and butter are
the main Items on the alkaline side.
Acidosis Is a result of disease, not a
cause of It.
No Assurance
What assurance has one, .under
ambulant treatment, that the doctor
will not puncture Intestine, In which
case unpleasan complications would
ensue? . . . (O. W. C.)
Answer None. One has to take
seme chancea In thla sad world I
believe the patient Is under ten times
greater hazard If operated upon than
he Is If given ambulant treatment for
hernia.

Comment
on the
Day's News
f(EORGE DAVIS, of the Lorent
Company, large Southern Oregon
wholesalera, made an Interesting talk
the other day before a Southern Ore
gon service club on the subject of
what he calls "the Midland Empire."
The Midland Empire, as outlined by
Mr, Davis, Is roughly equivalent to
the Shasta-Cascade Wonderland In
Southern Oregon and Northern Cali
fornia. The facts he presented should be a
source of Interest and pride to all the
residents of this area.
fJOR example:
The approximate area of this
Midland Empire (or Shasta-Cascade
Wonderland) Is 67,000 square miles,
and Its population (roughly) Is 186,
000 or about three persons to the
square mile.
By way of comparison, the popula
tion of England la about SB million
and Its area la 50,000 square miles
or 760 persons to the square mile,
pNGLAND, of course, la nearly
V 2000 years from the raw sav
ages found by Julius Caesar, whereas
the Midland Empire (to .use Mr.
Davis' term) is only about a century
from the savages found by the earlier
American explorers. The comparisons
of area and population were offered
by Mr. Davis merely to show the pos
sibilities here).
IN 1034, retail sales of merchandise
In t.hl aroa tho Mlrilanri ITmnlrA,
were (38,406.000. Average sales per
person were $206.
This average figure for the Midland
Empire la far above the average for
the United States, showing that the
purchasing power of the people In
this area la high.
IN AVERAGE retail sales per person
figures are available) Klamath Falls.
Medford and Roseburg are far above
the average, leading all other Oregon
cities by nearly two to one.
f
A S TO spendable Income (Mr.
" Davis told his hearers) the per
capita average In Klamath Falls is
$576 (per year). In Medford it Is
$568, the-two cities being almost ex
actly equal.
The average for the five largest
cities in Oregon (except Portland) is
$515. The average for the entire
state, Including Portland, la $545.
So, you see, in the matter of in
come (which is what we are all In
terested in) we of Southern Oregon
are well above the average for the
state of Oregon as a whole. .
TEN UNIONS FACE
A.F.L,
WASHINGTON. Aug. 39. (AP)
More thsn .a million American work
lngmen in ten international unions
probably will lose their good standing
In the American Federation of Labor
next Saturday.
As punishment for Joining John L.
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers, in his Industrial union cam
paign, the federation's executive
council haa ordered these ten unions
suspended September 5 unless they
quit Lewis' committee for industrial
organization, before that date.
Efforts to reconcile the differences
between the Lewis faction and the
craft union group In control of the
council have failed. Talk of court ac
tion to block suspension has ceased.
Labor men here generally agree that
the Lewla faction will do nothing to
prevent the order from becoming ef
fective. 1 '
