(Halfway (Ore,) Jottings) , "Alt nature has been In ft hurry thla year, It has been no ticed by those who watch things grow. The blue grass had bloom ed and also other types of wild vegetation has been hurrying." aaa The state fire marshal report a one resident of Oregon had 43 flrea last year. He ought to do well with s cigarette In the timber. aaa The O-Men now hold that Mrs Alice Parsons of Stony Brook, N. T., has been kidnaped, and the county suthorltlea attribute her mysterious disappearance to murder. Nothing is definitely established, except that she is gone from the poultry farm where she abided with her mate. A number of the womenfolks, who ones had habitat upon a poultry farm have s different, and highly logics! theory. They aver nothing will set s lady to gadding like day In and day out communion with 300 chickens. It wearies the soul, and causae s firm resolve to get sway from all the cacfcllng and crowing. aaa TEN YEARS FROM TODAY ITEM: He la survivor of the last Demo cratic admlntatrattor. and waa ahot while attempting to go to work In s horae-and-buggy American manner. aaa An Oklahoma resident, once a mil lionaire, but now broke, alleges 'he was never happier, t nd has no de sire to ever be a millionaire again.

"Happy Dara Are Here Again!" .la not one of them. Max Is Double-Crossed I -nAT prize fighting is no longer a sport but a business, is clearly demonstrated by the fact, that Joe Louis the Brown Bomber is now the heavyweight champion. . Cash receipts, not fistic prowess, presented Louis with the crown. As far as the sport records go Mai Schmeling of Ger many, is still the better man. A TEAB ago the doughty Max, a hopeless short-ender, at one to ten.i gave the dor. e bucket a swift kick ' in the midriff, 'and out-foxing and out-gaming, the ex-cotton-picker, put him down for the count of ten. By every rule of good sportsmanship that victory entitled Max to a match with Jim Braddock, the then-reigning champion. But the smart financiers behind the fight game decided otherwise. They figured and figured correctly, that a Brad-dock-Louis match would bring in the better gate. QO Max was given the double-cross, and as a result, Braddock has about $200,000 more money in the bank than ever before, while the promoters will split up $100,000. Not bad for Jim who a few years ago, was in the bread line. OUT a raw deal for the German. There is little doubt that U had he been given what he honestly earned, a crack at the crown, he would have bested the game, but the ageing title-holder also. And today he would be in the shoes of the Brown Bomber, the heavyweight champion of the world, and would have achieved his life long ambition. Fame and fortune would now be his, and in a rematch with Louis, he would have been the one to dictate terms, and draw down the big money, not as will now be the case, the dusky dynamiter, he so gallantly flattened.

CAUSE AND PBEVCN HON OF PNEUMONIA In an article published recently. "The Natural Way to Breathe." we showed how lowering of the vital capacity, atul- JUJS4? low breauhlng. IN short Max Schmeling was robbed. And it's at least a two to one bet, that the fistic crown he should have worn, will never be won. For the lesson the German gave Joe Louis a year ago was an invaluable one. Joe will never be a set-up for a smashing right-cross again. So that's that. However, robbery is nothing new in the prize fight game, and the boys who play on the cash register, have controlled the sport, for nearly a generation. It is really amazing how prize fighting has survived in spite of the way it has been treated. Like those who engage in it, it possesses sn extraordinary stamina and vitalty. A COLORED champion of rather forbidding personality, will Ho it. nn ffnnrl. inr-lrlontallv Put if. will nn rlnnlvr. enrvivo for there is a primitive appeal in the crude battle of fists, which seems to be deeply imbedded in human nature. It's drama in the raw, of course, but it is still drama. Crookedness and commercialism will no doubt kill it some day, but aa long as there is "big money" in it, that time appears far distant. "Make Way For Tomorrow" rT00 bad that film, "Make Way for Tomorrow" was shown Onlv ftnrt rlav in MaHfrierl. TVa v.nfnr. to natt' xwrhan 1937 movie books are balanced, it will take a place high up among the leaders. For it is one of the most moving, restrained and artistic productions, that has come out of Hollywood in many a long day.. And what a cast' Not a flop in the list nor a stooge nor time server. And intelligent, sensitive, direction, from the first flicker to the final fade-out 1 BUT of course it wou't be a box-office success. Its appeal is too limifnd unA ita rtn.a inn elnnr MifnAvn. it is nfarttinnlK, without action,' in the accepted sense of the term, and is devoid of any approach to thrill or glamour. It has humor, and human miture plenty of both, but the humor is too subdued, and the human nature too prosaically authentic, to arouse any acute consciousness of either. "Make Way for Tomorrow", HOWEVER, conies nearer to being a faithful presentation of REAL middle-class life in this country as it is LIVED, without exaggeration or misrepresen tation, comes closer to the ideal of putting a mirror up to our grass-root nature, and allowing the spectator to draw his own moral instead of having the producer slap him across the face with it, than any film that has come up this way, in a very long time. And the characterizations of Victor Moore and Buelah ' Bondi, particularly the latter, as the "old folks" whom life has passed by, should be in the running at least, for the annual movie awards, next winter. Those who saw them last night, will not soon forget them. and not chl,l Ing, accounta for the frequency of p n e u m cmla or other .pulmonary compile a 1 1 o n a foUowlng major operation a, whether the sur gery la done un der ether or other Inhalation a n e s t h esla or under local or spinal anesthesia. Many measure menu with tha spirometer (which measures the quantity of air breath ed) have Indicated that the vital ca pacity la lowered from 30 to SO per cent for a few days following a ma jor operation, especially an abdom inal operation. Ordinarily an adult breathing quietly Inhales and ex hales a pint of air at each respira tion.

Belly breathing exercise and in halation of carboxygen from an In. halatcr a mixture of carbon dioxide, from 7 to 10 percent with oxygen Is one of the best preventive meas ures against pneumonia In any cir cumstance where pneumonia or oth er pulmonary complication is likely to occur. Of course all I know Is whsi I hear real doctors say, but I sincerely believe that the regular practice of belly breathing, especially six belly Inflations on retiring and six on waking In the morning, is a good prophylactic against pneumonia. Medicine of the sedative or n-.r-cotlc class, too often taken by lay men for relief of cough, are, In my opinion, a contributing cause of pneumonia. Such drugs benumb Kie cough reflex, favor retention of vis cid or tenacious mucua in the bron chial tube, and Mils may serve as 'T'KE theme is not new, in fact as old as the world. can't The manuscript collections Ir the steel vaults of the public library in Moscow are rivaled In vslue only by these In the British Museum and tb ftea&h, iVittousi Library. But we recall any former drama, built around it. Briefly it is this; What to do with the old folks, grandpap and grandma, when they can no longer work, have saved up no money, and the children have no surplus in the bank themselves. A few thousand years ago the young folks knocked them over the head with a club, but we do things differently today. Today there is only one answer. They go to live with their children, as they did in this film, and that doesn't work out. PHE fault is on neither side, but inherent in the situation People in their late seventies are Roinir through the door of life in one direction; people in their middle forties, are' going through, in the opposite direction. Put them in the same bouse, give them the kindliest impulses and the best of intentions, but there is sooner or Inter, a clash, which cither ends in tragedy or separation. In this film it was the latter, not only separation from their children but from each other. (Not tragedy in the melodramatic sense, but sufficiently henrt-hreiikiiig.) That final fadcout of Grandma Cooper on the station platform, incidentally, as a bit of intelligent and restrained pantomime, entitles her to a place , at least, in our private movie hall-of-fame. 'T'llERE were some minor defects in the film of course. the daughter Grand Pap Moore had to live with struck us as! considerably overdrawn.

Again, auppresslon of cough by such means Impairs a natural means of defence for the natural purpose of coughing is to expel something for eign or Irritating. Finally, cough dope tends to lower the vital capacity still further.

If for any reason one cannot absorb ultraviolet (which producea vitamin D In tha akin, then one requires an adequate dally ration of vitamin D Internally, in one form or another.
