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!" ....

METABOLISM OP THE GROUND HOO
Hedge hog la th European ape
clea of marmot. Ground hog is the
American apeclea, commonly called
woodchuclc. Can

ing to the tra
ditlon, the wood
en u c k emerges

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.

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

that sudden waft of a lilac bloom
that so often comes through the open

pensation or chance, that our finest
philosophical discernments come from
those who live by the side of the

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.

The Pendulum Swings!
nt presidential cycle is running true to form. 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.
