The nation Is too much aghast at tha horror of the Spanish clYil war to feel that way about racial sav agery at home. The Toung Democrat of Oregon convene this week-end. High hope are held both the commonwealth and the Toung Democrats will eurvlva the colossal event. The Junior Demo crats, however, are running a Jittery fever, due to the growing fear that Democrat of all ages, after 1940, will have no business in the poi toff lcs, except to get their mall.

The weather man doesn't know it yet, but practically everyone else does. And the householders are acting upon it, clearing up the debris that a long winter had deposited. In other words clean-up time is here. And as usual most of cleaners-up are doing the job right. Also, as usual, some of them are doing the job wrong. Among the latter are those who are packing the empty tin cans, broken dishes, discarded boxe's, etc., etc., in the back ot the family chariot, and under the cover of night, dumping the same, along the highways and byways, particularly the Old Stage road and in the Jacksonville sector. WE don't know why that part of the county, should be the favorite dumping ground for Medford, but it is. Every year complaints come to this office from residents toward the west, who find their front-yard approaches decorated with im ported refuse, and this year is no exception. . Only a short time ago we had a call from a prominent resi dent on the Old Stage road, asking Te Editor to do something about it. Well what can wc do! There is a law against it, and this law should be enforced. But it is difficult at night, to catch anyone in the act, and barring that, to identify the malefactors is practi cally impossible. Up to date none of the garbage scatterers have been public spirited enough to tag their contributions, with any identifications slips, saying: "This decayed junk came from John Doe's place, what are you going to do about it?" NO they don't do that. So the county court which is properly exercised over the practice, finds its official hands tied, so to speak. They would like to round up the culprits and put them in the calaboose, but with the shock troops at their com mand, they see little chance of doing it. $ Therefore it's up to the press. Well we can think of only one thing to do that we haven't done before (quoting the law and demanding its enforcement) and that is to suggest that those who have debris which they wish to dispose of, and prefer spending a dollar on gasoline to fifty cents for its removal to the city dump, transport same to the city dump themselves. S. R Strike Not Likely IT'S about a ten to one bet, there will be uo strike on the Southern Pacific. In fact the genial and obliging Rosey, has placed a wager of 200 to one, with the present writer, to this effect. . How come! The walk out has been ordered for tomorrow evening at six, and the railroad union spokesman declares, if the union demands are not granted at that time, out they go. If this isn't a bluff, the probable answer is the Southern Pacific will grant the union demands before they will let their lines be tied up by a strike. That is why all S. P. officials are so confident no walk-out will occur. DUT a more compelling reason is, the existence of the railway " labor act, which provides that if mediation of the board fails, the president shall name a three-man commission, to in vestigate the situation, and report to him within 30 days. Until this report is handed down, any walkout must he held in abey ance, until another 30 days has passed. For over a decade this Act has been in force, and during all that time it has prevented any serious railway strike. Presi dent Roosevelt has named such a commission, an excellent one, and it isn't likely that railway union leaders will defy this commission, disregard the provisions of the Act, and take issue with the government. "INHERE is nothing compulsory about this act, or punitive in character. It is essentially voluntary. But it has worked in the past, and there is every reason to believe it will work this time. As before stated in this column the Railway Labor Act has demonstrated what can be done to settle labor difficulties in the railroad industry, peacefully. The example set, should be followed, in all industry in the United States. The Road to Ruin D AYMOND CLAPPER, of the Scripps-IIoward frcss, was one nf tVlA ft nntitinnl nnlnnin let a it ia i,rtunt- in fgrnv fliA president's Supreme Court proposal. FIc continued to do so until the Supreme Court handed down the decisions on the Wagner Act, Monday last. No longer is Brother Clapper for packing the Supreme Court. He has switched over 100 percent. Says he : Tho court plan should now be dropped. Trier. never did aeem much need for tinkering with the Constitution. far aa these mattera are concerned and there la leaa reason now. The trouble was In the court. That appear, to be correcting Itself. Roosevelt can afford to sacrifice the form alnce ha haa gained the substance. Results all that wa seek to Insist upon; more la merely to give rein to vindictive pride Then, too. the rulra of the fight ring forbid you to keep on punching after your man Is down. Of course If he gets up agsln oh well, aklp that." That coming from one of the pioneer supporters of the pro posal is pretty strong stuff. In fact as far as we can observe no one is for the Supreme Court packing action, except the president and a small group of partisan die-hards, like Farley, John Ij. Lewis, Cummings, A shunt and the rest. The only situation comparable to it, politically, in the present writer's memory, goes bnok to President Wilson when, IN TIME OF WAR, he demanded a partisan democratic congress, and later, insisted upon the League of Nations J'aut without the crossing of a "t" or the dotting of an "i". It not only has its source, as Clapper says, in " vindictive pride", it is as we see it, a course of action, which if persisted in, will politically speaking, ruin both the president and his party. As an ardent supporter of President Roosevelt in the late campaign, and a devoted believer in his New Dea, we to express it mildly hate to see it. We even feel disposed o paraphrase that plea of the faithful retdiner in the ancient V'liabethnti tragedy: "Oh may soma pover still t him from hlrruelfl" Personal Health Service By William Brady, M P.

PINEAPPLE PREFERRED Some simple souls sternly take a dose of graperrult, lemon or the Juice thereof In the belief that It keeps one thin or even reduces c o r p u lence. I wonder how this strange property came to be ascribed to g r a p efrult and lemon. Perhaps some so u r f a c e A MtCf I who hsd never I V I physiology Imag- I I med that the I 80urae8B caused sasBSsMAmaV a prodigious pucker to p&M through the entire bdy and take up slack everywhere. The truth Is that grapefruit or lemon Is merely less nourishing and less fattening than, say, ham and eggs or pancakes and maple syrup. I have nothing In the world against lemons or grapefruit. In fact I grow 'cm both (one tree each). But please don't ask me to eat ov drink any lemon or grapefruit In any circum stance, except where a mere dash Is mixed ui with edible things, as In a fruit punch or cocktail or In a salad Wherever a dish or a recipe calls for vinegar, I prefer lemon Juice, because vinegar (dilute acetic acid) la not utilized as a food, but acts as an acid in metabolism, while lemon Juice (dilute citric acid) Is oxidized and utilized as a food In the body and leaves an alkaline residue or ash (alkaline carbonates). Try lemon Juice In place of vinegar In salad dressings or as a condiment and you'll soon find that It is quite as pleasing and perhaps more acceptable to the stomach. In nutritive value, that Is. fuel value, calories, there la little differ ence between orange, lemon, grape fruit and pineapple each yields ap proximately 200 to 225 calories per ound. They tell me grapefruit grown hither and von really Is not bitter, but I'd almost swear nux vomica could be extracted from any I have ever tasted. Of course, there Is no objection that I know of, If j'ou prefer grape fruit. No accounting for tastes. But I am hnppy to assure any one who isn't fond of It that orange or pine apple Ls equally effective from every point of view. I urje all of our cus tomers who are following the Correc tive Protective Diet one, two or more days a week (don't Interrupt now. fend stsmped envelope bearing your address and ask for It) for rejuvena tion to Include a slice or two of ptne npple or a glass of pineapple Juice (without sugar added) In lieu of orange Juice or grapefruit, If desired. Pineapple is In the fresh state a good Bjurce of vitamins. Canned pineapple la still a good source of vitamins B and O and a fair source of C. Fresh raw pineapple .contains a ferment which aids In the digestion of meat In either acid or alkaline medium. The natural sugar In pineapple Is shout hslf cane sugar and half Invert sugar (fruit sugar, levulose). In can ning pineapple it Is a common prac tice to fill the can with cane sugar syrup Instead of the natural Juice of the fruit. a recent water wagon wager. At one ; of the bars one late evening some i body sighed he wss tired of It all and waa going to chuck Intoxicants for at least a month. Several others were ao minded and ao ten of them deposited a 1100 check each as a solemn pledge of abstinence. Those who failed forfeited their deposits All dropped out of the race before the final day save Miss Long, and when they gathered to see her col lect, she watted until five minutes before the final hour, tnen downed a cocktail and handed each pledger his check. Not many men would have been so generous. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Fibroid Tumor Physician who ls X-ray specialist examined me and said I have a uter ine fibroid tumor. Can this be cured by X-ray?

Cab Cal loway and BUI Robinson almost suggest mourn ing In contrast to the brown- skinned fighter's dressy didoes. In his forma tlvo fighting days. Louis clung to blue serges, with only an oc casional peep of color, such as a brlght-hucd tie. But all of a sudden he jumped the gun and with a re sounding blooey, blooey, cracked the spectrum. He ls Harlem's style set And has the most elsborat ward robe that col or-conscious Harlem nas ever seen. He sports pearl white Horn bergs In Jimmy Walker's Jaunti est dip and wears high button shoes with dore gray tops, to say nothing of giraffe akin gloves at il5 a smack. which Oary Coper popularized. His pantaloons and nve-pleated. swooping from his hips to a thin and graceful cuff, his vests sawed off to here and hla shouylders padded out to there, one of his shirts is blood red. which he wears with a grasa green tie. which gives you the general idea. Incidentally. Louis for some reason or other has lost considerable face with the New York sports writers. Since his ascendency he waa shower ed with praise until his fight with Bob Pastor and then the panegyrics were turned off suddenly like wster by a tap. The hosannahs turned te hoots almost as venomous as tho Jeers for Max Baer when he toppled from hla pedestal. But Louis, no matter his pugilistic standing, remains the Bon Bon Buddy in the Black Belt. He is considered the social leader along St rivers Row and Sugar Hill, and right now. of course, races the fashion fare. Al ready there ls a neon-signed Jos Louis Toggery, exploiting styles he is supposed to sponsor. Uptown he Is known as "Chappie." That's nls manager.
