A Civic Disgrace rTn'E streets of Medford sre not only s diggrace, they sre dangerous. Unless needed repairg are soon made, we will have Sn epidemic of serious accidents, probably involving loss of life, and a series of damage suits against tbe city. Esat Main, extending to the golf club, snd one of tbe most heavily travelled thoroughfares in the city,, is partieularly dis graceful.' Filling the crevices and caverns with loose gravel does no good. It's all washed out in s week 1 ' With the rainy season over, and the tourist season about to begin, this road should be repaired, as it has been in the past. A new pavement can't be constructed., But a reasonably SAFE, reconstructed pavement CAN be. ' ONE of the best tourist seasons in years is predicted this summer. Many of tbe visitors will bring their golf sticks, and. try their hand on the local coursea.' East Main must be travelled to reach them. . What sort of an advertisement for Medford,' would a trip like that be, one of the most attractive and best residence districts of the city and a road through it, that in its present condition should be marked "dangerous and impassable!" Every consideration of good business, civic pride and public safety, demands thst East Main be put into 'decent shspe for summer travel at once, and the other streets, deteriorsting so rapidly; be repaired just ss soon as the necessary funds are available! ' Music- Week 1 1 -nlS will be music week. A good program has been arranged for Medford, including a concert "by the Ashland Symphony, and performance by the local Gleemen. Music week is nation wide. We wish it might be world wide. For there is ample authority for the statement that music is what we need. ' William Congreve over 200 years ago, for example, declared : . "Muslo batb charms to sooth tha aavag breast. . "To oftn rack, or bend a knotted oak." How about a music week for Benito Mussolini, Adolph Hitler, and perhaps TWO weeks could be prescribed for General Franco in Spain.. ' At any rate the idea is a good, one, and the more music we have this week the better. ' Shakespeare wrote: "Tbe man that hath no music In himself, ' Nor la not moved with concord of aweet sound, . I fit for treason, atrategema and apolUv Th motion of bl spirit sre dull aa night, And hla affections dark aa Erebus. ' Let no a uch man be trusted." If that ia true, then the converse must be. So strike up the band, and let joy be unconfined. By all means, spur into promi nence and action, those ' who can be trusted and will have no traffic with' treasons, stratcgema and spoils. ' The essence of music is harmony. And harmony is what this country, and the world needs, most acutely at the present time. So all bait to musio week, and more power to those who can produce it. Who'knowst Perhaps, if we gave ourselves over completely to a week of music, seven 'days- of harmony and freedom from discord, we would be so charmed by the novelty and delight of it, that we would decide by acclamation, never to return to the petty bickering, dissension and strife, which preceded it. And tnat would be a "consummation devoutly to be wished!" ....

Can dlemas Day. Feb ruary 3, accord ing to the tra ditlon, the wood en u c k emerges from bla lung winter aleep - In queit of food or water . or oxygen all of which necessities of life have been pretty completely used up during the months of hiber nation and If he sees his abadow goes right back Into his hole and resumes hibernation for a while longer. Thla tradition Implies that the wise old woodchuclc reasons that if he L still fat enough to cast a not iceable shadow enough nutriment re mains available for several weeks more hibernation. However that may be, durlns hi bernation the metabolism slows away down, the body temperature Is low ered many degrees below normal, the breathing la very alow and shallow. and the pulse rate and circulation decrease In proportion. A hibernating hednchog has been ubmerged In water 23 minutes without Injury, though when awake and active a hedghog would drown In three minutes or less. Woodchucka lay up no store of food for the winter, but accumulate a surplus of body fat, and thla fat la tbe food they live on through the winter's hibernation and also provides nourishment for the young born to the mother during hibernation. A German Investigator, Nltschke, made the interesting observation that hibernation can be prevented by ad ministering to the hedgehog a fair dose of vitamin O throughout the winter. The animals so treated re mained awake throughout the win ter, continued to take food, main tained their normal summer body temperature, while other hedgehogs not given vitamin D hibernated aa la the family custom. Hibernation, Involving lowering of body temperature, respiration, pulse rate and circulation. In short slow ing of metabolism to a degree ap proaching suspension ol animator., is caused by diminution of thyroid gland activity. Vitamin D appears to activate the thyroid function suf ficiently to prevent hibernation. Nltschke further found that when there is decreased thyroid gUnd function the amount of lodln in the blood U below normal. In rickets, i which we know Is due to Insufficient vitamin D. the blood lodln is always below normal. Prom these observa tions the investigator Infers thst the lowered or subnormal basal metabo lism in rickets la due to decreased thyroid gland function brought about by vitamin O deficiency. Physicians today believe that ALL infants require a dally ration of vita min D In one form or another, to supplement their food Intake of thla vitamin which Is Invariably deficient. I believe older children and many young adults, too. get Insufficient vitamin D and suffer various func tional and developmental troubles In consequence, of which, tn adults kind of hibernation Is one. purple banner In the L. O. fields minstrel parade and he passes the handbills for the boat shows. Nothing la more poignant than eva n'ng'a mysterious bush In a small town. There la a peculiar rich soft ness to the air, pierced only by the chirp of crickets, the forlorn cry of a belated whip -poor-will and the croaking plaint of frogs. Or as the moon comes slowly up the grieving owl In tree crotch far away. Alao that sudden waft of a lilac bloom that so often comes through the open window Just as one Is floating off to that repose a restless, haste-urged city can never afford. It Is not com pensation or chance, that our finest philosophical discernments come from those who live by the side of the load and away from the furious thunder of living. AH of us from small towns who live In cities know this, yet we continue to stick around. So, as the fellow says, wbatl QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Erysipelas Husband had erysipelas two ue cesslve years. Is he likely to hsve another attack this fall? Can you suggest snythlng to fortify him against It? (Mrs. K. B. C.) Answer Unlike most other Infec tious diseases erysipelas confers immunity on the convalescent. I know of no specific way to for: if y against the disease. Let the family doctor see that the patient's hyg!ne and general nutrition are (he cest possible. .Modern Treatment My brother Is Indebted to you for suggesting Dr. who gave nJm Injection treatment and completely cured hla hemorrhoids of ten years standing. My husband has for sev eral years suffered from hydrocele. Is there any cure for that short of an operation? (Mrs. R. E. L.) Answer Yes. a physician skilled In Injection treatment can cure hydro cele without detaining the patient from hts ustial work or business. Pupils Contract and Dilate Have noticed that the pupils of my eyes dilate quite frequently. Might this be a sign of eyestrain or Is It natural for some persons to have larger pupils? (M. H.) Answer Pupils of younger persons are larger than those of older per sons. Larger In near-sighted than In far-sighted persons. Pupils contract in light, dilate In shadow or when the eye regards an object at a dis tance; contract when the eye regards an object close by. Some general Us-, ease conditions affect the size of the pupils; and some drugs cause them to dilate or contract. Copyright 1937, John P. Dllle Co Ed.

Since the turn of the century this country has had three outstanding presidents, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Frank- m D. Roosevelt. All had two terms. All wore extremelv norm- ar, in their first administrations. The popularity of T. R. and Woodrow Wilson, declined sharply toward the-close of their second terms, and there are indications today, that Franklin Koosevelt will suffer the same experience. Regardless of service and accomplishments this rise and fall of the popularity curve, in a democracy, is probablv inevit able. The Greeks had a word for it. Thv ont iri n t - a ' ....... " & Aristides called the Just, and although he continued to be just and able, he was kicked out because, the law of action and reaction held, and the inevitable popular reaction set in. - a 'T'HERE is probably no way of avoiding it, though the extent of the decline no doubt depends upon events, personalities nd circumstances. T. R. enjoyed a tremendous popularity with the rank and file, but when after the close of his second tcrm.he sailed for Africa the popular refrain in New York at that time waa "God save the Queen, and let every British lion do its duty!" Woodrow ilson had a war to aid him. aud no rjresident in history enjoyed the prestige, power and popularity he enjoyed, when that war closed. Not only in this countrv hut ahmad. e was hailed aa a Saviour and a Twentieth Century Messiah. the entire world shook with Wilsonian acclaim. But he died an unpopular, embittered, heart-broken and isilluaioned man. jusi wnat the future holda for F. D. R., no one can say. But the Supreme Court issue has unquestionably lessened his popularity, and there are other indications the inevitable reaction has set in, as'far ss he is personally concerned. Just how fsr that, will go resta on the lap of the gods. But this much is certain, before his second term ends, Presi dent Roosevelt, who has shown he cau "dish it out,'' will have to show regardless of what he does or doesn't do that he can alto "take it." - For it seems to be a natural law in a democracy, that the higher a leader rises in popular esteem, the harder he falls. aO.Mclntvre HEW YORK, May 1. Most of the little Ohio river towns along whose banks much of my boyhood was spent have dried out after their d re nc hlng and are enjoying the flowery pleas- ance of spring the n' grit ma re of the rolling and rising waters al most forgotten. New Yorkers in their, seeming Immunity from the elements fre quently wonder why people con tinue to live where they so often have to flee for their lives and watch help lessly many valuable belongings go bob-bobbing away in a torrential cataclysm. So In turn and quite deservedly do the small towns wonder how New Yorkers endure the gruelling grind of the metropolitan milieu the clat ter and roar and the death-defylna processes of merely trying to cross the busy streets several times a day. siy vote is always cast for the little berg.
