"There la a good chuckle In the story of the Chattanooga atorekeeper who put up an empty cigar box In hla store under a algn reading: " 'Police got my slot machine: please put your money here." The chuckle comes from the fact that Ms patrons took him at bis word, so that In a few days the boi waa nearly full of coins." (Eugene Register-Guard.) Senator Wheeler Is Right OENATOR WHEELER of Montana, one of the leading oppo- nents of President Roosevelt' Supreme Court proposal, also opposes the new compromise plan. He favors no radical change in the present procedure regard ing the court, unless the people sanction the same by a referen dum vote. IN the heated discussion, in the senate yesterday, Senator Wheeler was accused by Senator Logan of seeking "to destroy the President," through his opposition to this proposal. How long, asked the Montana senator, has constructive criticism of a president's policies, been accepted' as an attempt to destroy him t Far from having any such purpose in mind, he declared, bis purpose was quite the reverse. ' Court, reorganization was proposed by close advisers of the President he explained, on the eve of the last presidential cam" paign. He persuaded them to abandon the plan, because in his judgment it would have wrecked the President. Continuing he remarked: "I did not wish to see the President meet disaster then, I do not wish to see him meet disaster now." WE believe there are thousands of people in the United Stated who feel i list as Senator Wheeler does. They don't want either the President or his program to fail. They have npthing but liking and respect for the President personally. But they can't go along with him on all the policies of his second administration. They don't want the Supreme Court "packed" by him or any other chief executive, whether it be by one member or by six. They want the aDsoiute independence or tne judiciary rrora the executive department maintained, until and unless the people by constitutional amendment rule otherwise. UNLESS we are greatly mistaken, they also tfant a clear-cut enunciation of the administration's labor policy from the White House. They want all doubt as to just where the President stands removed. They can see only trouble ahead if this doubt is not removed. They don't want the President to come out AGAINST John L. Lewis or come out FOR him. They do want the President to come out for fair play and a square deal to both sides in this labor-capital controversy, special privileges and special considerations for neither. THAT would clear the atmosphere, and let the country go ahead. Abandoning the effort to rorganizc the Supreme Court, except by constitutional amendment, would do the same thing. And that's what' they want an overwhelmingly large ma jority of the American people in our opinion, an end to bicker ing; an end to any more radical reforms until those accepted have been tested and assimilated; so the country can get together, forget its partisan differences for a time, ahd as the popular saying has it, "GO PLACES", in reasonable harmony and contentment.

OXYGEN AND "NERVOSNE9S" An Important Job TJUGH ROSSON has been appointed administrator of traffic education in this state. It's an important job. As Mark Twain observed regarding the weather, there iB a lot of talk, but little is done about it. There is a. lot of talk about motor accidents, but little is done to check the mounting list of casualties. Education appears to be the only answer. For what happens or doesn't happen to a car, depends almost entirely upon the skill, good judgment and resourcefulness of the person at the wheel, what he happens to have not in his car, or his pocket book, but in his head. 1 A campaign of comprehensive education, intelligently con ducted, would probably do more than any other one thing, to make our highways safer than they are today. rHS is particularly true where young drivers are concerned. It has been our observation, that reckless driving is largely confined to two classes first youth, youth full of life, inex perienced, rarin' to go places. They are as ignorant of the dangers before them on the highway, as they are of the dangers before them in life. If a system could be devised whereby they could be educated, BEFORE they handle a car, instead of AFTER, when nine times out of ten the education comes too late, a long step forward would have been made. THE second class, of course, is the drunken driver. Here rlrivnra of nil nt?p nre invnlvprl. frtvm flnniino votlth to intemperate senility. An intoxicated driver has no more place on our highways, than a mad dog, running wild, on our city streets. We have drastic laws against driving while intoxicated. Some times they arc strictly enforced, more often they aren't. The practice of changing the charge from drunken to reckless driving, to spare the feelings and reputation of the guilty party is all too common. But in this direction also, education, if it is properly con ducted, will do more good than anything else. For education will reach the cause instead of merely punishing the effect. If all drivers, young and old, can be shown that alcohol and gasoline don't mix, and if they try to mix them, the result will mean, anything from a term in tho penitentiary to sudden death, real progress might be made toward eliminating the greatest single cause of fatal motor car accidents. YES Mr, Rosson has an important job. We wi.sh him luck. Ha ahniiM have anrl iin.iiht a.II. n'ill flu. support and hearty cooperation of all right-thinking people in the state. For in the final analysis the only hope is education, edu cation built around the strongest instinct in the human animal, the instinct of self preservation, the will to live. If the dangers of reckless ami careless driving can be clearly shown to the people as a whole, then this instinct will do the rest, tho goal desired will be reached, as far as it is humanly possible, by letting uattire take its course. U sk. X - I ai t I am beginning to be despondent r'dout Medicine. I bave delved and delved. I have even bought several medical boots and subscribed to some of the most pretentious med teal Journals, yet X have never found (a) a def inition of "the common cold," (b) a well au thenticated ease of rabies In man, or (e) what n e r v o usneaa," nerve strain" or nervous exhaus tion" means. Rot that tnere la any dearth of literature about all of these hypothetical states; Indeed, there are tons of It produced annually, but no matter how thickly you pad it. It Is still baloney. . Describing the marked increase In fatigability of persona recently ar rived at Cerro de Pasco. 14.200 feet altitude, Barcroft (Observations on the Effects of High Altitudes on the physiological Processes) says that any prolonged mental effort usually in volved a degree of fatigue which ne cessitated a trip to the coast to pre vent "nervous breakdown." One of the most prolific medical authors says, "In the neurasthenic states, the most constant symptom is fatigability , . ." - Unaccountable errors of Judgment on the part of pilots of high flying airplanes (moat- transcontinental fllghta are at 10.000 feet or higher) was considered a primary cause of 16 out of 27 accidents Investigated by the department of commerce. Physicians who have studied the mater now regard "pilot error" as a manifestation of oxygen want, the deficiency of oxygen In the blood and tissues at altltudea over 8.000 feet. The medical term for this oxy gen deficiency In the blood la anox emia and the oxygen deficiency in the tissues and cells of the body Is called anoxia. All of the symptoms of anoxemia or anoxia or oxygen deficiency or moderate asphyxia, whether from rarefaction of the air and lowering of atmospheric pressure at such al titudes or from slight carbon mon oxide gassing at or near sea level, are identical with the symptoms that have been ascribed to "neurasthenia" or "nervous exhaustion." Now I have a crazy notion I should say another crar.y notion that oxygen deficiency may be the fundamental factor of most of the "neurasthenia" or" nervous weak ness" so many people purport to have when doctors can't find any organic explanation for their com plaints or frailties. I do not mean to Imply that a few whiffs of ex y gen will restore nervous wrecks to nor malcy. I think the oxygen deficit may be due to an oxygen shortage In the air in some cases, and to some constitutional Incapacity to utilize oxygen In metabolism In other cases an Incapacity comparable with the constitutional Incapacity of the diabetic Individual to utilise sugars and starches In metabolism. Alas, we have no analogue of Insulin to recommend for the victim of deficient oxygen utilization. Nearest approach I can suggest to ' promote better utilization of oxygen in metabolism la exercise, muscular play, muscular work. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Drug Adtcts.

Calif ; Nothing Is so much a misnomer as "bell boy." I know three crack mem bers of the guild In New York hotels who are edging the 60s. The oldest bell boy In point of service. Inci dentally, is J. A. Kelley. who has been bopping bells at the Brown Palaos In Denver for 43 years. There Is or was a few seasons ago one at the venerable United States hotel at Saratoga who had been In service 37 years. A wide-awake bell "boy" more often than not winds up with a more sizeable fortune than many man agers of hotels. And the roamers of the fraternity have seen as much of the world aa the average globe trot ter. The top hero of the bell boys Is Frank Buck, who began as one in a Chicago hotel. From a letter: "The way you were tearing into the juicy steak at Dsmpsey's the other night, a casual observer would thing you were mad at It or something." I was madder than all get out.

There are thousands of men in New York who make an unusually good living, serv ing aa superintendents of large apart ment bouse a. Many are those who have risen from Janitors In less opulent sur roundings. And some have been engineers. In many in stances they are furnished com fortable apart ments In fine buildings. And thus are at prac tically no expense for actual living such as laundry, telephone, clean ing and many other incidentals that make living In aristocratic areas often prohibitive. Their salaries are not ao high SI 60 a month Is about top and the average la $95 month. But that becomes mostly velvet. Too, in the more opulent areas superintendents have been able through special atten tions to Important tenants to secure msrket-wlse tips of great value. Others, too. learning their Jobs In detail, have often been backed by building contractors in erecting large structures In which they acquire a substantial Interest, Three large Park avenue apartment houses are owned by former superintendents. Whin s-j 2 New York parks on Sunday are sprinkled with Japanese who Invari ably carry cameras. In fact, the Jap Is one of the most conspicuous of the kodaklsta. It Is all right, of course. But Americans In Japan with cam eras are under immediate suspicion and If they take pictures are yanked to jail. Dog didoes: The Intulttveneas of dogs is ever astonishing.
