DUT when the excitement of the dramatic exploit passes,
and the novelty of the north pole tangle is forgotten, the

ODD HOUSE IN NEBULOUS STAGE
Soma weeks ago one of our falth
fut readers sent the following in
quiry without date:
"I have taken

ual scenes or subjects the master
might like but never a vague pic

own way.
Odd House hss no dining ro?m.
Whether the nut dines alone or .las
forty guests st dinner, the main
room will not be otherwise engaged
during dinner, so why not use It.
Seems to me It Is always a bit un
gracious to shoo everybody out of
the living room into a cubbyhole or
stall for the sole purpose of feed
ing. Especially so when the herd Is
permitted to take cocktails, hors
d'oeuvres, cigarettes or plug tobacco
right there In the living room where
they are comfortable. .
Curtains? Mrs. w. made the right
beginning. Certainly no curtains over
windows. Why put windows In any
house If you Intend to cover them
with curtain shades, awnings, bllnrta?
Maps on the walls, with a varnish
or other Impervious surface, could te
cleaned when necessary by washing.
My main objection to wall paper or
other conventional hangings Is the
weariness any such mschlne-made
decorations causes. Have you eer

IT has been raining In southern
Oregon as you may have heard if
jou have been listening to people
talk. In spits of the fact that It Is
well past mid-June, It hss been rain
ing for better than a week snd s

AT first, we were plessed.
We gathered In little groups on
the street and told each other with
contented smiles how swell this un
usual and unexpected rainy spell Is
how It Is putting dollars In the pock

dry-lend farmers and the stook men,
snd how It Is filling up the Irrigation
reservoirs to the overflowing point

;ou know, because we're all expecting
to sell them something this summer
snd fall If they're flush about that
time. There's nothing like a little
good old selfishness to make people
truly sympsthetlc.)
TJOR the flrat few days (while the
bulk of the benefits were being

claya more, we PRETENDED to like It

when the signs looked unpromising

us s LOT more good than harm,
snd st this time of the year and with
the season's precipitation total what
it was a couple of weeks ago the
Cownpour haa been little short of
msnna from heaven.
But human beings are Just human
beings, and nothing much can change
'hem. (The New eDal reformers to
the contrsry, notwithstanding.) They
like what they like when they like It,
and they don't like what they don't
like.
And VERY FEW human beings like

BUT, really. It has been unusual.
If you want to know Juat how
unusual It haa been, consider these
figures:
On Tuesdsy night, it rslned 1.18
inches at Orovllle. In the Redding
area, during the 36 hours ending on
Wednesday morning, the rainfall to
taled 3.91 Inchea. At Red Bluff, the
precipitation for the 34 hours ending
on Wednesday morning was 130

building of the future has been
started here.
The program was begun with
display of subterranean safety rooms
showing how such shelters could be
utilised In cases of enemy air raids.
The metropolitan police board ia
studying legislation that would re
quire adequate bomb-proof quarters
in every new school or office build
ing constructed in Tokyo. It has
not been decided, however, whether
such a law may be enacted.
Working quietly, an air raid de
fense laboratory under police aus
pices has been active for three years
in co-relating various methods ot
defense against air attacks.
Annual air maneuvers, in which
cities of Japan are plunged Into
darkness while rescue workers and
the populace are trained In what
to do against enemy raids from the
sky, are a part of the program to
make Japan "air conscious."
Prom these maneuvers government
officials have evolved a comprehen
sive defense strategy. They do not
care to discuss It In detail but from
time to time emphasise to the pub
llo one or another phase of It.
These take the form of drills In
eacap 1 n g from h 1 gh bul I dings by
means of canvas chutes sloping to
the street, of familiarity with gas
masks and the designation of cer
tain rallying points in each neigh
borhood where citizens are supposed
to congregate when bomba are drop
ping. Considerable publicity Is being
given to erection of a new building
by the Dal-lchl lfe Insurance com
pany which Includes a bomb-prool
underground shelter capable of car
ing for 60,000 perrons.
Four underground levels would -e
devoted to the alr-rild shelters.
In addition to using the under
ground chambers for refuge, they
could be utilized aa dressing sta-:
tlons, examination of gassed or
wounded persons and for store
rooms for food.
Police specialists are pushing the
air-defense thought by pamphlets
and lectures In addition to the dis
plays of models. Should It be decided
to make bomb-proof shelters a re
quired part of new construction, it
would be done through amending
the building laws.
Japanese officials put particular
stress on air-defense technique be
cause cf Japan's geographic position
close to the Asiatic mainland, which
makes an air visitation easy under
modern flying c',, tlons.
RISE OF POOR 'CLASS -TO
RULE OF NATIOI
SEEN BY EDUCATOR
CHICAGO (UP) America within
the next few generations may be
ruled entirely by persons coming from
what are now the under-privileged
classes, according to Dr. Newton Ed
wards, University of Chicago professor
of education.
"Americans who have the highest
occupational status and enjoy the
richest cultural resources are falling
to replace themselves from one gen
eration to the other," he reported.
"In contrast." he said, "the under
privileged element In American life
supply the chief source of population
increase."
A disproportionate percentage of
t'.ie population. Dr. Edwards said,
comes from among farmers on mar
ginal and sub-marginal lands and
from unskilled ' and semi-skilled la
borers. Falling behind, he said, were busi
ness and professional men and the
skilled laboring classes.
"We can only speculate, on the
political and economical consequences
of class differential In reproduction.'
tlte educator said. "But it is certain
that for some decade the future
voters of this country will come !n
disproportionate numbers from the
under -privileged elements In Ameri
can life."
.Schools, he said, would have to
take up the burden of spreading cul
ture where homes had failed.
In some manner, the school must
mke good the deficit of home snd
community," he concluded. "The
future holds the answer, and the
aiswers may be in part determined by
what takes place In American
schools."
