Thanks to Mr. Campbell of the S. P. (probably tipped off by Rosey) your correspondent can now answer San Francisco Vperpctual and persistent inquiry to all visitors, in the affirmative. "Have you been over the new bridge?" "Yes, wa have been over the new bridge." 1 "Well what did you think of it?" "We. thought it was " then you search around for the proper adjective arid unable to find any that appear more fit tiuif than the common garden variety, of overworked bromides, you feebly proclaim you thought ful, most interesting and thank you very much." ..... So that's that. Tou have a vague suspicion your host finds something lacking in your reaction, and you feel the name way about it, but even though you are supposed to know some thing about the use of words, what can you do about it J You finally decide you can take a great poet, or some real nique like Bruce Barton, to do justice to the first trip over the new bridge, at least as far as satisfying the expectations of the typical San Franciscan is concerned: In all the world there is no tn the first t.rin nver it. shnnlrl out of the ordinary, something a poem, or page aa, or woras fess we could supply none of these things. And tinallv to be perfectly which is our constant endeavor in all our reportorial efforts. while the bridge is one of the seven wonders of the world, the trip over it ISN'T, in fact with a thick morning fog envelop ing the structure and the surrounding landserape, we had hard work convincing ourselves we were going over a bridge at all. we didn t know just when and had only a vague idea when was, we travelled over a beautiful, six-laue highway, between 45 and 50 miles an hour, as solid and substantial as any high way, no vibration, no quivering, if there had been a few trees and farm houses discernible through the fog, we might have concluded, we were shooting through Yolo county en route to Medford, as far as any visual sensations were concerned. And como to think of it perhaps that is the unique feature of this longest bridge in the world, it is constructed as such flu integral part of the San Francisco bay highway system, with easy almost imperceptible approaches, and the same easy, grad ual exits, that with the aid of a little morning fog, or evening twilight, a passenger in a motor car, can go over it, and NEVER KNOW IT, particularly if someone else hands out the 65 cents at the toll gate I However, for those of us who motored from San Francisco's down-town section to Medford via the Oakland ferry, the most, startling sensation was received, after the trip had been concluded, we had left our host. and the family watch was consulted. Mr. Market streetacross the bay, to back again to Oakland, and returned us to the hotel, in the brief span of 45 minutes! Figure that out. Unless the futnily watch swallowed some of that fog, that is the schedule we maintained, and need we add our host being nn official of the Southern Pacific, believes in safety first and DOESN'T believe in breaking the speed limit. If time is money then you don't need an expert accountant, 'to figure out, how long it will take for that bridge to pay out, without the bo cent toll (which we think is too high) and have a surplus instead of a deficit. The chinf explanation for such rapid transit is the special highway, I which leaves the bridge near Berkeley, across the mud flats,1 on new-made ground, thus avoiding entirely the down-town traffic.'- . Yes it's a wonderful bridge, and highway achievement, and the state of California have every reason to be as proud cf it as they are. " Tn'kiiig this bridge on the extreme western coast of tho country, elovated highway from Harlem to tho Battery along the Hudson in New York, and in between the upper-deck high way, to the north side in Chieago, and yon or at. least WIS, can readily visualize, what the outstanding highway develop ment of the next ten or twenty years, in this country will lie, a system of trunk highways for through motor traffic, built above tho ground, shooting from one large city to' another. That's coming sure 09 sunrise, and this S. F. bridge point the way! If you take lunch at the Pacific Union club on Nob Hill, and listen to the conversation it will before you will hear a statement like this: "Only -one way to settle this strike. Take this bird Harry Bridges.'civo him a kick in the seat of the pants, throw him on the next boat to 'Australia, tell come back, and peace will bo signed tomorrow.

(those various symbols are put there to rcpr.cut whatever cuss words, the reader ... . What is the answer to that The answer is a resident of this country, alien or not, who has violated no law, whose papers are in proper shape, who is not1 a fugitive from justice, has no criminal record, is neither diseased nor insane, CAN 1 BE DEPORTF.D. ho has as much right to he .here as anyone else. If ns is true of Bridges, he has taken out. his second papers, passed every required test, vilh tho highest ratings, violates no law, there isn't a court in the land, that, would sanction his deportation, or that could in any way, deprive him of those rights, which every citizen of the country, is guaranteed under the constitution. Bridges may be a communist, though he and his friends deny it, but he is not registered as one. and if he were, this is still a fr.'o Democracy, and a registered Communist, has as much right to be a citizen of this country, as a registered Republican or Democrat. There arc at leiist, ."iO.iHMI of them in the country now, and as lonr as they behave themselves, they have as much right to stay here, as any of their fellow citizens. Finally if Bridges were deported it would not radically chr.tige the present strike situation, anymore than if Colonel Blank, spokesman for the shipowners were removed, that would i hange the status quo overnight. There would be other Bridges, other Plants to take their places. The trouble goes deeper than personal it ic.?, it's 11 matter of the spirit. the spirit of war. be tween capital and labor in San Francisco, which 11s wc see it, ran only lie changed by an aroused public opinion made effvtive thrmiyli 1111 entirely XF.W, lecid set-up.

She explains that I recom mended the doctor to her. But. un fortunately, she signs her letter with Initials only. A medical colleague who has had considerable experience with both the standard operation snd Injection treatment gives his present view of the question: "While the majority of cases of hemorrhoids can be successfully treated by Injection, there are some' types in which Injection will always be foUowed by recurrence. It la not fair for proctologists to urge Injec tion treatment on this type of pa tient. Honesty requires that such patient be told frankly that opcra and under prolonged local anesthesia Is the method of choice. It Is quite true that the patient Is benefitted by good hygiene snd particularly by diet which controls constipation, but we may be sure the "cure" of hemor rhoids by diet will not lost long." In the series of talks about the nature, cause and treatment of hem orrhoids given In this column re cently I endeavored to explain the value of good hygiene. Hygiene unquestionably prevents hemorrhoids, and even sfter hemor rhoids have developed, hygiene will greatly prolong the Intervals between "attacks," - -., Many persons have hemorrhoids, yet by good hygiene manege to es cape for years any serious trouble.

IV the early davs of the West (In this esse the eatof-the-moun-talns country In Oregon) the 'bsd man" playrd a part not unlike that of the gangster of today. Thst is to say, he got in the headlines. These "bod men" were a curious lot. Along with the traits that were bsd. they mixed trait that were dis tinctly good. 8herk said to this writer the other day In the course of a discus sion of these turbulent characters of "Bill was a cold-blooded klllr no doubt about that. Over In Idaho, where he was working at a mine In Interval between cow punching, he got Into s row with the cook. Oet- tlng into a row with the cook wasn't a good Idea back In those times, for men had to eat, and the cook waa a pretty Important man around :imp. So Vlckers was fired. "It made him mad, snd Immc -j dlately afterward he fell In with a couple of other tough citizen and the three probably got good and drunk. Anyway, the session wound up with e'ach taking So chips and starting a poker game. "The one who lost all hi. chips flrat waa to kill the Chinaman." , f UCK ran again'. Vtckers. and he 1 lost bla 20 chips ln short order. So he made good shot the Chinese cook, dragged htm at the end of a rope to a pile of rocks and burled him. Then he lit out of Idaho. ; ' "That Is how he came to Oregon. He went back to cow punching, and among others he worked . for ' my father." . fCKTOW that killing of the Chlna- ' . man ln Idaho waa about aa cold-blooded a deed aa you could Imagine. But I maintain that BUI Vlckers wasn't AIX bad. "PVjr Instance: He'd worked for my father ' quite a ' while, and hadn't drawn any of his wagea. Re finally had about 9400 coming to him. so be drew It and started to San Francisco to spend the winter ln the city. . "On the way. somewhere up in the Sierras, he ran onto a man and hie wife who were clear down on their luck out of money, out of food, out. fit ail gone and both about starved This bad man who'd killed the Chinaman up ln. Idaho spent bla $400 getting that man and his wife back on their feet again, and then he turned around and came back -to the ranch and went to work. "Figure that out. If you can." nra VICKERS, Joe relates, died U with his boots on, as so many of his kind did. A United States marahal came , after him ln the oourse of time, and In the fight that enBued when the marshal came up with Vlckers, along - wlth: a wild young fellow named CJrlnkey who'd teamed up with blm. the marshal came out on top. Both Ue burled, beneath the same heap of atones, on the Guano ranch, over beyond the Hart mountain coun try.- . ; . (Continued from page One ) officially announced that wholesale commodity prices Increased nearly 1 percent during the single week of November 14. This Is a tremendous lift for a broad price table wblcb generally fluctuates In tenths of one percent. It brought tho general com modity price level to the highest point since 183ft. The level was 3 percent above the same week last year. Farm products were up nearly 10 percent above a year ago; miscellaneous commodities 0 percent; foods off 1.8 percent. The extent of the Increases ln that one week was 2A percent for sami- manufactured articles; food 1.1 per cent;, finished product 0.8 percent: industrial 2.3 percent. What the new dealers ars afraid of Is that prices will go too high and curtail buying. But prices seem to be fairly well established so far on s basis of new buying demsnd. and there Is some question whether they csn be effectively checked either by hints, official talk or otherwise. Note Add to thts the fact that the greatest Christmas business ln history Is expected; thst the new tax bill Is forcing corporation money In to wages and dividends, which should stimulate spending. If not Investment; thai political bickering has been re moved from the national picture; that businessmen are bent on cooperating with the new deal even if It kills them; that popular psychology Is now more buoysnt. .Tuat before President Roosevelt left to fish for peace and barracuda tn southern waters, be called in bis farm advisers for a private conference. It was more than half -way agreed then that the president would call Irn porta nt a gr1 cul tural 1 esdars of the country to Washington for a period of several dsys to frame new agri cultural It gitUation. The call will probably be sent out through Agrl culture Secretary Wallace after con- greea meets In January. The Idea will be to get the farm leaders who exert the heaviest, pres sure on congress to gather in the right place to exert pressure for a new AAA program. Tbl is the wsy the original AAA was secepted ln March, loaa. The nrw progrsm will come osten sibly from the farmers, as it did be fore, but the men who pull the wires here now have a fsirly good hint of what It will be, becauv thev will draft It and hsnd It over to soma farm organlrnflop to anonwr.

Therefore, there Is reason for be lieving that the agricultural leaders will not recommend a constitutional amendment, but will urge a change In the sou conservation act so that federal control will be maintained They will probably also favor produc tion control. The only people taking an Interest ln crop Inaurance at present are the wheat farmers ln the 6c-called seml arld regions. In those regions the farmers usually get only one or two good, cropa out of .five, so they are naturally Interested ln Inaurance Also, when they get a good crop, the price la low. Tbey usually have no wheat when the price la high. The AAA crowd seems to be re signed to trying the plan on wheat alone for the first year, realizing that these seml-arld farmers are probably the only ones who will Join up to any great extent.
