WEir-HotlLDAT Still Their Day llEMORIAL Day will abide, manent place on the American calendar of holidays. Al ways, no doubt, it will be set aside in reverent memory of those who laid down their lives on the field of battle. But Memorial Day has changed, is changing and soon must change more. Originally, it was the day on which surviving veterans of the Union forces in the Civil war paid honor , to the memory f their dead comrades. On early Memorial Days, the soldiers of the Union, still young and vigorous, marched to gether again, renewing for the day the martial comradeship of '61- '65. The years passed and the marchers grew old. But still it was a day which belonged to the veterans of the war. Then came the Spanish war and a smaller band of young er veterans joined the Q. A. B. in homage to dead comrades. A score of years more and the World war added a huge army of youthful veterans to the sadly vivors and the still active and Toda ythe World war veterans march with not quite the spring and zest of a dozen and a half years ago; and the Span ish war veterans are as grey as the Civil war veterans were in 1898. And what of the Civil war soldiers, themselves 1 A few are left. Those few are mostly of the wiry, enduring, indomnitable type. One's step 90't, and one's voice may not be so full and deep as it used to be. But once a year, a soldier can fall into line and answer to his name, even if it be in a phantom regiment with no voice save his own to call out "Here!" So, scattered all too sparsely over our country, are these brave last men of phantom regiments. Soon must come the Me morial Day on which no voice of the sixties will answer, "Herel" And what then! Memorial Day will continue, as it ought to continue, a day dedicated to those who gave all that a man can give to his country. It will be a day sacred to our dead of all wars, a day of reverent memory for North and South, for East and West. R. S. The Girl With Brains THE educated girl of former years was pictured as a bespec tacled miss, whose thoughts had been so concentrated on the acquisition of learning, that, she neglected her personal ap pearance. The boys were supposed to be more likely to marry some red checked peach. Many boys are plain and practical, interested in sports and money making, but they don't know much about books. If the fair graduate should begin talking about evolution or Tenny son, they wouldn't know what to say. Hence, it has often been suid that the educated girl must she knows something, if she wishes masculine attention. But tho pictures of the scenes about the schools and colleges, the photographs of the girl graduates, do not suggest that edu cation and beauty are ncceNsnrily opposed to each other. In fact, the looks of these diploma winners would be hard to beat. It would appear their minds have not been exclusively fixed upon the lines of the poets, nor on the theorems of geometry. Apparently they have paid their share of visits to the beauty shop. Some boys had better give their sluggish minds a bit of a prod, and find out about the things going on in the world. Then they will not be absolutely .speechless when they find a girl who knows something. Such a girl will make a better showing when you step out with her into a quizzical world. R. S.

Fa.rl.m? Pharaoh Henry Wallace, the agri culture secretary, doea not like to have anyone suggest that his strong agriculture control methods were taken from Italy. Germany or Rus sia. It Is all right to say he took them from Evpt (under a king) or China (under war lord economy!, but not from the dictatorships. "I think that nothing like this," he asld to a house committee, "has been tried In any other country, al though Hie holding of surpluses has been tried." Asked directly If European nations (no names mentioned! did not neve similar control features, he replied; "Not like this." With such cautious language. Mr Wallace kept himself accurate, but he neglected to add that Germany Italy and Russia have all Invoket eontrol features, but "not like" bene fit payments, ever-normal granary, of course.

TO DO SOMETHING in reasonable comfort a few more years. The time to do something for the various and misleading manifesta tions of cardlo- vascular degenera tion Is now, my lad. I said do some thing. Begin today to cultivate the habit of doing something every day, some kind of physical work, play or exercise apart from the routine of your bulsness or profession. Take a walk, practice tap dancing, roll somersaults, climb some stairs, chin yourself, paint the gate, polish the car, mow the lawn, spade tho gar den play golf or ball or tennis or bowl, run a mile, do your stint of calisthenics or setting up exercises If there Is nothing better to do. What ever It may be, a dally session of shadow boxing, bag punching, walk ing on your hands, swimming, equi tation, biking to and from business, make It an invariable habit, and far better omit brushing your teeth, bathing or shaving than skip the dally physical activity. Believe me, It keeps you young and In your prime QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Blood Donors Does repeated withdrawal of blood from the professional flood donor for transfusion leave the donor susctp tlble to low grade Infections and pos sibly tuberculosis In later life? (R. Q. L.) Answer. No. Only healthy per sons are accepted as donors, and they recuperate full blood strength within a few days after giving blood. If a a donor does show any evidence of health impairment, he is removed from the list there are always plenty of healthy applicants waiting to get on the list In any large hosplal cen ter where transfusions are done. Most donors retain excellent health even if they give blood dozens of times eoch year. After all, It Is no more a drain on health or strength than Is wet-nursing. Garlic Beet advised to eat garlic once a day. It seems Impossible to clear up my breath after eating It. (Mrs. L. A. J.) Answer. Best way possible Is to skip a week or a year between doses. Garlic Is harmless to the eater but it has no known remedial value. (Copyright, 1937, John P. Dllle Co.) Ed Note: persons wishing to communicate with Ur.

FRANK JENKINS ftHUCK 8EAVEY, manager of a southern Oregon telephone com pany, entertained a group of men the other day with an Interesting story of the freaks and the odditis of the telephone Industry. "YTOU'VB wondered, perhaps, why you can't pick up trans-Atlantic telephone conversations on your short-wave radio. It works like this: In the transmitter, at this end Is a "Jumbler" that mixes the speaker's words up Into an unintelligible hash In the receiver at the other end is an "unjumbler" that puts them- back together again and makes them In telligible. Smart! IP YOU wish (and think you can afford it) you pick up your tele phone right here In Medford ana talk to Sydney, Australia. Your voice will go first to San Francisco. Thence It will go to New York; Prom New York It will go to London, and from Lpndon it will be transmitted to Sydney by "direc tional" radio which means radio that la pointed In a certain direction as you aim a rifle at the target. ' Depending on the time of day, It will either go up over the north polo or down through the tropics. (Tho Idea Is to follow the dark side of the earth, as radio works better in darkness than In daylight.) A NOTHER freak connected with talking to Sydney (or ANY- WHERE In that general locality) : You will be talking TODAY, but your listener will hear you TOMOR ROW. (This because of the inter national data line, where a day Is lost In going around the world.) You wlU be talking In the SPRING but your listener will hear you In the PALL. (This because of the fact that the seasons change at the equator; when it is' spring north of the equator It Is autumn south of the equator.) A NOTHER good one: Chain broadcasts are carried on telephone wires and are re-broadcast by each station on the circuit When we listen here on the Pacific coast to a chain broadcast originat ing In New York, we hear the pro gram a fraction of a second AHEAD of listeners In New York. (This because of the fact that sound travels faster over wires than through the air by means of radio waves.) ONE more oddity: The telephone company la ex perimenting now with "delayed trans mission." That la to say, you talk into your telephone NOW. and some body can take his receiver off the hook HOURS LATER and listen to what was said. If you want to tell some pet pest of yours Just what you think of him. here's your chance. All you have to do is wait until this device comet on the market, then call his number, get It off your chest and LEAVE TOWN. - i&XSZ CONGER Accused of Tip-Off Captain James F. Boland (above) , police property clerk, was ac cused by Edwin N. Atherton, San Francisco police graft inves tigator, of being the policeman who tipped off a bail bond broker of police raids. Atberton claims to have obtained records of con versations between the two by the use of tapped wires and record ing discs.
