I We Hope He Is Right DOTH sides in the maritime strike, repeatedly declare they " want a peaceful settlement, the inability to reach one. Over ten dayg ago the San Francisco News offered a plan whereby a settlement, in the opinion of thatf paper, could be reached. This plan was, briefly, to have a committee of adjudication formed in each important port. There would be three members. One appointed by the ship owners, one by labor, the third by the U. S. department of labor, to represent the public, in no way connected directly or indirectly with either side. This committee would be given authority to decide such differences as hiring hall regulations, which now form the chief stumbling block to a settlement. IT seemed then, and still seems, a reasonable proposal. It has been endorsed by Edward F. 0Grady, assistant secretary of labor, and according to the News met with hearty approval from the people of San Francisco. Yet, as far as we can find out, there has been no effort-on the part of the ship owners or such a proposal, much less endorse it. Why! If both sides in the controversy are sincere in their expressed desire to end this strike, and reach a satisfactory working agree ment, why should a definite proposal of this kind be entirely ignored f THE answer is they AREN'T. They both want a settlement, hut. onlv nn thpir own terms. Thev want ncace but onlv peace with victory, for their side. The shipowners want to humble and if possible break the maritime unions. The unions, not only are determined to pre vent this, but have set out to knees. In other words, underneath peace, which on both sides is merely window dressing, a state of war in San Francisco exists. There is no spirit of give and take, of conciliation and cooperation on cither side. That ia why the situation ii opinion of the present writer at get worse before they get better. THIS is all wrong, of course. up which will outlaw strikes which disrupt interstate com merce, and render arbitration of differences between labor and capital mandatory, where the public welfare is involved, we can see no hope of material or permanent improvement, in the rela tions between labor and capital in this country. Secretary McGrady in Portland, predicts that legislation will be passed at the next session of congress, along the lines of the railroad act which has kept peace in the land transportation field for many years, and this maritime strike will be the nst of its kind. This ia the best news we hare heard since the present stiike was called, If Mr. McGrady knows what he is talking about and he probably does, then the present maritime mess, will be well worth the sacrifices involved, and aa the cause of dt fin ite federal action, will go down in history as a blessing in disguise. Three Democracies WINSTON CHTJRCHIMi, brilliant British statesman, in a recent speech spoke of Britain, France and the United States as having common interests in "the preservation of democracy and individual freedom." After paying his respects to France, he continued : "Acroaa tha Atlsntte ocean la another great democracy, a child of our blood and Ideala the United States, which ha Inherited and expressed In It own wsy British parliamentary freedom and French revolctlonary equality. "We must not aak too much of the Dnlted State,. W must try to do the work ourselves. But wa may find tha United Statea with ua at the end of the road." ' It is true that these three nations are the foremost exponents of political and economic freedom in a world now growing more and mora "authoritative" and tyrannical. We three still have government by voters, through laws made by their chosen ser vants, ins.tc.id of government by self-appointed bosses. To Americans, no formal alliance with either Britain or France ia conceivable; we do not make alliances. But it is natural, and perhaps necessary in this time of confusion and peril, for free nations to give each other moral support and work together informally in economic matters, as the three are now doing to some extent. We cannot see far ahead and cannot give pledges of future policy. Yet whatever cynics may say, common blood, common culture and common institutions are strong bonds. R. S Nature Comes to Town ONK thing that civilization docs for people is to make them mor appreciative of nature, including wild life. Aa people Krovr in knowledge and in the refinements of life, less and less ia it their idea of a good time to "go out. and kill something." Legitimate hunting continues, but it is hedged about with more restrictions. There is less cruelty and indiscriminate slaughter and more appreciation of living animals. More and more, hunt ing is done with no deadlier wetpons than cameras and field glasses. The most remarkable evidence of this change is seen in and near cities, where birds, squirrels, rabbits and other wild crea tures are now seen in greater numbers than they have been since pioneer days. The most remarkabH thing about them is their fearlessness. Only a generation ago they would have tied at the sight of a human being, and with good reason. Now hoys. their natural enemies, refrain from pestering them, and even j dogs tolerate them, or are kept from them. Aa a result, thousands of city families are able to enjov the : songa and nntiea of these lovely wild creatures in public purk.s ami in their own yards. And it hss come about not so much ; from strict laws as from the natural growth and understanding ! of the people themselves.

NUTRITIONAL DKFICI In a previous talk we pointed out that both underweight young adults and overweight adults of mature age (over 35 year) are more suscep tible to pneu monia and less capable of recov ering from the Illness than are normal persons. Under weight and overweight, however, are by no means the only Indications of faulty nutri tion or nutri tional deficiency. Perhaps the treat majority of indi viduals who suffer from nutritional disorders, whether In mild, latent functional degree or as a clearly de- fined nutritional disease presenting dharacteriMlc organic changes, are neither underweight nor overweight. Prom experimental observation or study, animal feeding experiments, investigators have Inferred that short age of vitamin A In the dally food may be accountable for Increased .susceptibility to or rather fat Mire to develop sufficient Immunity from the cri. In case you haven't heard, the crt (kree) means any respiratory In fection before Its specific nature can be diagnosed, that Is, In the stage when Ignorant and vicious folk Indis criminately peddle the Infection among all who come within conver sational spray range, the while they try to excuse themselves for the crime by protending It la "Just a slight cold." Although I have been eagerly seek ing prnctlcal evidence that vitamin A In adequate amount helps to main tain good Immunity against respira tory Infection. I am bound to admit I have not yet found any convincing evidence, and I am beginning to doubt whether deficiency of vitamin A occurs at all in this country, al though I know deficiency or vitamins B, O, C and D are quite common even If not reeognlr-ed or diagnosed or suspected by the physician. Bo many common foods In the form or condttion usually Ingested contain vitamin A that It seems unlikely that any one shjwld get Insufficient vita min A, unless his diet Is extraordi narily restricted. A six months old Infant gets a thousand units of vtta mln A In s quart of milk. Yolk of egg, banana, spinach, butter or cream, etc., supply additional vitamin A. To mato Juice, fresh or factory (vacuum process) canned, supplies about the same amount of vitamin C ns orange QQMclnfyre NEW YORK, Dec. 3. The most easily found occupational niche In the metropolis Is "pearl diving" or ; dish-washing. There is always a lack of dlah washers, as the "Help Wanted" col umns reveal. And no ona remains a dishwasher any length of time. It Is, aa a rule, the last Job a man will take and the first he will desert when something better comes along, it la estimated there are 15.000 new dishwashers go ing to work every morning In the greater metropolis. And few remain more than two weeks. The task requires no apprentice ship, and thousands turn to It when other avenues appear closed. Many now fnmoua New Yorkers served time In some obscure and dingy restau rant to stave off atarvatlon. Th pay la often meals, a place to sleep and 15 a week. Another advantage In "pearl div ing." fo- those who through no fault of their own reach the low rung, is ! the obscurity. No one ever sees a dishwasher. Incidentally, two faat selllng novels and a book of poems have be?n written by those bridging lean Interludes In this low ' task.

I believe shortage of vitamin D, which la almost universal in Infancy and probably more frequent in child hood and adolescence than has been recpgnized In the past, may be the vitamin factor which Is concerned In Immunity to the crt. A teaspoon ful of fish liver oil contains 300 units of vitamin D and 2000 units of vitamin A. Perhaps this fact accounts for in accurate Inferences from the use of fish liver oils for the prevention of and eatment of respiratory Infec tions. In practice there la more con vincing evidence of the value of vita min D for this purpose. I should advise vitamin D Instead of vitamin A for any one who la unduly auscep tlble to respiratory Infection. QUESTION'S ASP ANSWERS. Child Sweirtn. My boy, agM three, sweats a great deal when asleep even though not covered mufh. Have been told this Is due to rickets . . . Mrs. O. O. Answer Common causes of such sweating In Infants or young chil dren are: () Insufficient ventllatton and excessive clothing or covers, due to Ignorance of parents and physic ians who Imagine "colds" are due to air; (3) tuberculosis; (3) latent or manifest rickets, Olve the child his place In the sun and his quota of cool, fresh air. It would at least do no harm to give him for a few months an optimal ration of vitamin D. If fish liver oils or their concentrates or derivatives are repugnant to the child. he will take condol all right this la tastolrss, and a single drop In milk, tomato Juice, or on cereal. Is equiva lent to a whole teaspoonful of the best cod liver oil In vitamin D. Malaria. Please send me the cause, symp toms and cure of malaria fever , . . Mrs. W. A. h.

Comment of the Day s News By FRANK JENKINS EAVING Portland, by way of the L waplnitla cut-off. Still dry and dusty, although this morning there was fog In the air. But the weather Is distinctly unusual for this season. THE Waplnitla cut-off, on the Portland side, follows closely the route of the old Barlow road, by which the ox-team pioneers reached the Willamette valley from The Dalles, where they were forced to leave the Columbia. It took them a month or so of hard, back-breaking work to make this trip which we now make in an hour or so. Times have certainly changed. 4 IF WE could go back and live the lives of the ox-team pioneers, and endure the hardships and privations they endured, even the worst pessimist among us would be compelled to ad mit that times have changed for the BETTER. 4 (This writer la just foolish enough to believe thst when OUR grand children look back to this present period they will pity us aa much for the privations we now endure, in comparison with what will be THEIR standards, as we now pity the pio neers of the early forties. The world hasn't finished getting better). NINETY-THREE years ago, almost to the dsy, General John C. Fremont (then a young capatln), started south from The Dsllea, headed for Klamath lake. The weather, then as now, was clear and crisp, but was evidently much colder than today. Fremont kept careful weather records, snd he mentions that night the temperature often dropped to around zero. He and his party followed closely the present route of The Dalles-Csll-fornia highway, and they got aa far south as the Klamath marsh. There they turned eastward, intending to cross the Rockies in midwinter snd so return to St. Louis. Snert, I MAI i SZl. . THE deep snow of the high desert winter, however, proved too much for them, and they turned south, crossing the Sierras after al most incredible efforts, and so reach ed Sutter's fort, where gold waa to be discovered some yesrs later. They spent the rest of the winter here, and returned to St. Louis by the southern route. What he saw while at Sutter's fort led to Fremont's re turn three years later, with a military party, to be on hand when the Call fornlos seceded from Mexico and set up a republic of their own. The new Csllfornla republic Joined the United States by snnexatlon, and Fremont became the first governor of the new state. WHAT if Fremont hadn't been on hand at the psychological mo ment? What If the California re public had gone on governing Itself until such time as traditions and pa triotism had been established, and so never had been annexed to the United States? What if there were an actual fron tier where now Is the California state line, with customs officers and high tariffs snd possibly even fortifica tions, Instead of merely the bug sta tions and the California state depart ment of agriculture? Well, In that event, things would be a lot different In Southern Oregon. THE point la that Fremont didn't Just HAPPEN to be In California at the psychological moment. He was SENT. That Is to ssy, back In the early forties there were men In the gov ernment of the United States with brains enough to foresee the needs of this now great country and act ac cordingly. For that fact, we are truly grate ful. Flight 'o Time Med ford and Jackson County history from the flies of the Mull Tribune 10 and 20 years ago.
