Soma critics have regarded the above as ens ot ths most awkward sentences in ths Book of Matthew. Be that aa it may, it expresses a fundamental truth. True genius like true great ness is seldom recognized by one's contemporaries. And tha closer and more intimate the relationship, the rarer ths recogni tion. In fact history is pscked, like a fig with seeds, with instances of individuals, obscure during their life time, becom ing famous, many years after death. GEORGE GERSHWIN, 38 years old, died yesterday morning, following an operation for brain tumor. It was a tragio case for two reasons. Gershwin had not been feeling well for several months. But he was a very busy man, who had always worked at high pressure, and enjoyed good health. He didn't consult a physician, but calling on his reserves, worked harder than ever, to provide a musical score for a new movie. About a week ago he collapsed in the studio. Rushed to a hospital, his ailment was diagnosed as nervous prostration, which our own Dr. Brady maintains is a disease that doesn't exist. i However that may be, it didn't exist in THIS case. There was a physical cause for the nervous collapse, which the doctors failed to discover, and released from the hospital, the composer returned to work. SATURDAY Gershwin again collapsed. This time the cause of the trouble was diagnosed, as brain tumor. An effort was made to rush Dr. Walter Dandy, famous brain surgeon from John Hopkins to Hollywood, to perform an emergency operation. But the discovery came too late. After a consulta tion of physicians, it wag decided any further delay meant cer tain death, so the operation was performed by the attending surgeon. Gershwin never came out of the anesthetic. HAD the famed composer, consulted a physician when he first felt out of sorts, his life might have been saved. Time is the essence in such cases. And of course had more time been allowed, Dr. Dandy might have been able to do, what the best brain surgeon in Los Angeles wag unable to do. Then again he might not. One can never tell, and it's probably both futile and unfair, to speculate, in such an un certain realm, as that of human fate, in relation to life and death. MOREOVER we are not concerned so much with the details of Mr. Gershwin's passing, as with the fact the composer of the popular "Rhapsody in Blue" is dead, and the career of the king of classical jazz, has so suddenly and abruptly ended. What will be his place in musical history t How will he compare with the Jlozarts and Bachs and Beethovens of the grent and glorious past! We have an idea the popular answer will be, "Don't be silly I" There can be, critically speaking, no comparison. Gershwin was merely a cheap piano thumper from the lower East Side, with a flair for the bizarre and the eccentric, which happened to catch the superficial fancy, of a more or less demoralized post-war era. He will have no more permanent place in musical annals, than Mae West in drama, or Bugs Baer in literature. And that may be entirely right of course. For time alone is ths final judge in such matters. THE present writer however happens to believe otherwise. Wo have a hunch Oorefl Gershwin is coinu to live. Not as a great "composer necessarily, one of the post-war era, the most original and the most ad venturous. Like Wagner he cut away completely from the traditions of the past, and struck out, in an unexplored and virgin territory for himself. We doubt if he reached the heights, but he showed the way to a new and a permanent form of music, where heights exist. In Bhort there has been a revolution in music, as there has been in so many other things, and Gershwin was one of the pioneers in it. In the rarified atmosphere of the higher criti cism this will be regarded as heresy of course. Either that or plain ignorance. But look back a few centuries and see how many heretirs of the pBst have been the heroes of the future; the heresy of today the gospel of tomorrow. "A prophet is not without honor save in his own country and his own house," OUR rrophecy is, that a hundred years hence, George Gersh win and his "Rhapsody in Blue", together with many of his lighter and more popular works will have been accepted as American classics, whereas his with their melodioui and imitative gestures to the past, will have been forgotten completely. We may be wrong. Well that's always possible. Julv 12th. 2037, to prove it I Flight 'o Time Medford and Jackson County Mstury from the flies ol the .Mali Tribune 10 snd 10 rrs g.

THE I'NDER-PAR PA , PARTICULAR Laet lummer, reports a correi spondent, I got to run down and nervous that X could hardly work or eat. 1 read where you aald lack of vitamins would cause un der - par condi tions like mine, and alao that lack of vitamins would cause ridg ing and Irregu larity and poor growth o f the nailaand smooth, pointed tongue.

O and O and my condition began to show Improvement In less than a week. It la now nearly a year since X started on the vitamins and today X enjoy excellent health and endur ance. I like my work and I like my food. At one stage of my trouble a very good doctor said he thought 1 was getting pellagra, but I couldn't take the foods he aald I needed I couldn't eat at that time. Now I can eat anything and like It. Thanka to your fine column. You do not realize how much good you are do ing. I know most of us do not both er to tell "you when we have obtained great help from your teachings. (H. O. B.) Sometimes I think it la unfortu nate that the nutritional deficiency disease known as pellagra was ever given that name. I suppose It was necesaery to apply some specific name to the trouble when It had advanced so far that victims began to be helpless and require Institu tional or other care. But when the name pellagra woa applied to the ad vanced stage of the trouble, that pre cluded proper diagnosis of the nature of the trouble In tens of thousands of cases In the earlier stages. Theae earlier cases, occurring not only In the south but everywhere In the United States and Canada, would have a better chance of being recog nized m nutritional deficiencies, moderate vitamin deficiencies. If the vague symptom were called simple "run down conditions" or "under par" or poor health. Not by the old timers, but by the younger physi cian who Is getting a better training in the diagnosis of nutritional disor ders. -O.O.Mclnfyre Early up and note from Elsie Janls. on a tour of Veterans' hospitals In from Peg How ard and daugh ter Jane In far off Australia.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Flake White Is Lead Carbonate You showed your Ignorance when you aald flake white is bismuth sub nitrate and harmless In a face pow der. Flak white Is lead carbonate, and lead Is poisonous. (A drugglat). Answer. You are right, and thank you. Flake white Is lead carbonate and If used aa face powder or cos metic it might produce chronic lead poisoning. Bl&muth subnltrate or other bismuth salts are often used in cosmetic preparations, sometimes called "orchard whlte,' and bismuth aalts In cosmetics axe comparatively harmless. Powilered Milk Going on a trip. Do not like any of the canned milks. Friends aay there Is some kind of dried whole milk as nourishing, wholesome and containing the same vitamins aa fresh milk. (Mrs. K. G.) Answer. Dried powdered whole milk Is available. Water added makes It practically the same aa fresh milk. Glas&es Your position regarding glasses for near - slghtednesa. Of course, in street, one might cut one's best friend or lose life In contest with auto traffic. But for reading one can see all right with page held close (W. R. 8.) Answer. It Is not my position. All oculists urge near-sighted persons (myopia) to wear suitable glasses for close work in order to conserve vi sion. Without such glasses the strain of using the eyes for close work tends to Increase the trouble.

The one thing they have to avoid at the outset is publicity. And they realize that the flyer's grievances nre many and well sustained.

Yet it Is said all this would not have driven Lindbergh away. It was more the curiosity of the people who made it impossible for him to move off his estate without being mobbed. He has found he can motor to London and stroll through Its crowded streets snd not even be slightly snnoyed by gawkers. Msgs&ne editors find Ernest Hem Ingwsy the most difficult of writers to keep hsrnessed. He win go slong for a short trot snd then slip hslter and be off to some lost corner of the world.
