Frank Irvine Retires IT is frequently stated personal journalism is .dead. Almost invariably the contention is supported by the declaration there are no Danas and Greelys the country today. ' And of course there AREN'T. nalism has passed away another trialized machine age. ' " But this is true of big city cities, and throughout tbe-rural. exists, in fact is very much alive. . . , William Allen White, editor and publisher of the Emporia (Kansas) Gazette, might be cited as the most distinguished and outstanding example. - The has-been William Allen White, It will continue so to be, until editor, folds up his typewriter, and less inspiring place, because hundreds of small town and .rural, newspapers, which like the Gazette, are perfect examples of still exists. . . , ' INHERE are exceptions to every rule,, however. And Frank Irvine,, who retired Friday, as editor of the Portland Jour nal, after nearly 30 years of continuous and distinguished ser vice, was a striking exception that proves the rule Frank Iryine has been essentially a COUNTRY editor, in the. best sense of that term. - That is he has; had that personal interest in people and things, that human sympathy and concern, for matters, that directly affected the lives of those around him, in short those qualities not, only of heart and character but method that distinguished the rural, -as opposed to, the metropolitan editor. And when he went to Portland he carried-this-into .the metropolitan field, and never departed from it. rllS is not to say he was in it TT. . hnH o thnlniivU metropolitan problems. In the field of national politics he was particularly .'well informed and effective. ' But he never had that impersonal, cold, detached viewpoint of the typical big city editor. In everything he said and wrote, Mr. Irvine went, so to speak, to the grass roots. He was never pontifical, he was always personal, intimate and direct'. He talked not to that great unseen audience so many editors talk to i he talked, to the FOLKS. -. ' . . . , A ND it was the same on his travels through the state. 'He "was interested in big affairs, of course; but he was more interested in Bill Jones and Kate Smith, what happened to Tom's alfalfa crop, when it was it got the colic, or precisely WHAT transpired at the last meet ing of the grange or the Town And OF THESE THINGS HE Needless to add, this country politan field was a tremendous success. Under Mr. Irvine's editorial direction, the Journal grew larger and more prosperous year by year, and now at .his retirement, is unquestionably, the best newspaper property in the And Mr. Irvine deserves the IT is really quite reassuring in nf atrif. and woa And irrxfit. For Frank Irvine demonstrated that, no matter how large or rich or powerful a newspaper msy become, it can still "hay? a HEART1" It can retain the simple, unassuming, essentially HUMAN qualities, of country journalism, and still rank along with the best in the big time circuit. POR nearly 30 years the Oregon Journal has been Frank Irvine and Frank Irvine has been the Oregon Journal. From the small town newspaper field he took personal journal ism, its psychology and technique, MADE IT WORK. No mean achievement! In field of contemporary journalism, It's a record of accomplishment and unselfish human service of which the paper and its retiring editor, can both be proud Mr. Irvine may be the last of opinion, both the world and American journalism, will be the better for it!

Addrew Dr. WlUJam Brady, Ztt ti CamJno. Beverly. Calif. - THE MAD DOG SIT According to tha quarterly bulletin of the Maasachuaettes Department of Public Health about a thousand per sona were bitten by dog and obliged to take Pasteur treat m a n t In 1935. One child bitten on the face waa not treated and died ; of, rabies. "To protect the people we must protect the dogs. Thla can be done by giving them (the dogs) one dose of antl rable vaccine each year . . . the dogs would approve of thla If they could express an opinion because rable Is 100 per cent fatal for them and for human too If Pasteur treatment 1 not given promptly." How the authority knows that an- tlrablc vaccine protects dog or that It (Paiteur treatment) protect hu man beings, he does not explain. Since no one has discovered the cause of rabies In animals all theo ries or opinions are merely theories and opinions, and health authorities should be honest enough to say so. If I were bitten by a dog pre sumably rabid, I should want such an Injury or wound treated as a good aurgeon would treat -any wound, and then an tmmedlato dose of antitetanus serum or antitoxin, and perhaps a second dose of the same serum five to seven days later. That 1 all. Remember, tho, I don't believe rable occur In man. Animal or man, I know the specific cause of rabies has never been determined, and the laboratory diagnosis, by mi croscopic examination of the brain of the animal. Is purely a question of opinion, not of fact. You have to consider the personal equation of the laboratory pathologist who gives the opinion. For many years X have been harp ing on this subject and from time to time asking reader to report their experience if they have had experi ence which would seem to show that such a disease as rabies can or doe happen in man. I have received a WW NEW YORK, July 24. This restau rant table la a bit Jlggly. But that's likely to happen snywhere. Wood will warp. No matter how we carp. That's sneaking over a bit of pot try with the great est of ease, the daring young man all this doesn't make sense. I'm get ting confused. But what can one expect? In vite a few friends you want to Impress to dine and the head waiter plopa you down at a Jlggly table.

CATION DOWN EAST number of curious reports oddly enough all coming from far away, thru indirect channels and describ ing Incidents alleged to have occured long ago. It la atrange how difficult It la to get first-hand data concern in a recent case. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Milk for the Skin Read in your column the report of a correspondent who had obtained a cure of eczema by drinking several quarts of milk dally. I tried It for a similar skin trouble, psoriasis, and experienced pleasing results. Recent have been told drinking six quart of milk a day 1 a strain on the kid neys. (Mr. C. D.) Answer That would be 24 glasses of milk. I'd like to try It for a few days If I could have It fresh from the cow. If It Isn't too large a volume for stomach comfort, I should not worry much about the kidneys. Weight Lifting Friend with splendid physique is specializing on weight-lifting. Is this injurious to health? (a. M.) Answer Professional strong men, big-muscle boys, are "muscle-bound", that Is. slow, awkward. Inefficient. Their hypertrophied muscles are a sap on their energy or strength. They never win any race. They are com paratively short-lived. It i better to train for grace, skill, speed, resilience and agility, under the supervision of a physical Instructor who has had proper physical education. , Hear Is there anything which may be used to prevent formation of a scar from a cut or wound? (Mrs. J.W.M.) Answer Immediate proper surgical treatment Is the best preventive. Often the service of a plastic surgeon will prevent excessive scarring, if the surgeon is called In at the time of primary repair or treatment of the wound. For Instance, other means of retaining wound In opposition may be preferable to stitches. No medica ment or salve can be honestly said to prevent scar formation.

The last time I lost my temper In a restaurant I clapped my hands for the head waiter sharply snd when he rame on the run I started to say. "See here." and my voice squeaked up Into the peep of a flute. So much so a lady at the next table Jumped, thinking she had step ped on a cat. If one can get through the soup with a Jlggly table. It Is fairly easy sailing from then on. But It seems to be getting worse here I mean the Jiggling. See saw. Marjorle Daw. Certainly a hunk of Jiggle. Maybe It would be better for all of us, If they brought us rockers. Keeps up this way, they'll have to lasso us come time for the check We are teetering toward the door. Be fun If Just aa we reached the cashier we'd vanish In a audden saoot. Sidewalk dlnera In one slide I I must talk to my guests ao they won't get In a panic. Keep the or chestra playing. Aa Blng Crosby says: "Chin up. white tie for dinner, car ry on." I've heard of tables groaning but thla I the first one I ever saw pull a St. Vitus dsnce. Msybe this waiter captain, the one with the outstanding ears, could do some- thing. I ll caU my throat and ask him. He la calling his aides. They are la a huddle. Something important on th fire. They hav that gleam of conquerors. Eureka I One bright waiter haa an original Idea. He'a tearing off the end of a menu, fold ing It, and will slip It under the wobbly leg. Isn't that wonderful? Juat like that he see distress and thinks that up right out of hi own head. Now he'a eliding It under a leg. Prom the way the old Colonel la twitching, he must have gotten ho:d of his gouty boot. Now he'a fixed It. And la coming up for air. Beaming and dusting off hla hands. Tea. he'a fixed ltl Fixed It ao the slightest tilt and we get the dishes 'In our laps. But never mind, they are holding another conference. And have called In t Professional Slghter. He's the buckaroo who drops to his knees, looks under the table and sight. Thla seem a problem. He's scratching hla head aa much as to say: ''Man and boy I've run Into some tough table Jiggling In my day, but this baby la a lulu." Now. he'l darting to th kitchen. Some thing la going to break soon. There's a fellow with determination. You have a feeling that when he starts to do something he doea It. No mon key , doodling. One of the Wonder Boys. . Then, he 1 back with a wooden block. When he get that ahaved down he la going to have some thing. He 1 sighting again on one knee. Oolng to be certain he le right thla time. A master workman like that must make that simpleton with the torn end of the menu feel mighty third rate. He'a probably out In the alley hanging his head. Once to every man comes the Big Opportunity and the poor torn menU bOOb tnllfffWl It. Vnur .h vnrvl. en block man has vanished under tne table. Everything 1 going to be perfectly dandy, soon. They can heat up the food and well have a Jolly dinner after all. Like fun, we will, he's got the table hiked up higher than a cat's back. Like one of those chaleta teetering on an Alpine crag. Somebody Is going to suffer for this. A whole evening soured because of a teeny weeny tut In a table.' I hope they don't Jiggle me Into one of my moods. I feel It would be dour. Here comes the head waiter. He has a plan. I love people with plans. But from where I sit he doesn't look like anything la pawing through hla head but a breeze. He'p study ing the situation. Quiet, please. The Thinker; a .light breaking. Stand back, men, and give him air. Keep those boya away from the guy ropes. Seel He haa the solution. He Is going to give up another table. ' There. meFdamea et messieurs, atands gen ius! i Comment on the Day s News By FRANK JKNKl.NS IP TOU follow the atock market from day to day, you know what business thinks of the President's scheme to get control of the supreme court. ' When Oovernor Lehman's opposi tion to the President's bill waa an nounced on Monday, stock prices ROSS Immediately. Between Monday and Tuesday, the Associated Press average of 60 representative atocks climbed nearly one point. WHY? Well, people who buy stojks believed that Governor Lehman's op position would HELP TO DEFEAT the President's scheme. That made them feel more hopeful. Feeling more hopeful, they BOUGHT Inatead of selling. When you feel hopeful, you know, you'reapt to BUY. When you feci pessimistic, you SELL. When there are more buyers than sellera, prlcr go up. When there are more sellera than buyers, prices go down. AT THIS point, the question arises: Who buys stocks? A few yeara ago (aay 30 years) It was chiefly the big shot. Now It Is NEARLY EVERYBODY who haa a Uttle money and want to make It work. - ' The point la this: It Isn't Just the big shot who feel more hopeful when the President's p'.sn to gain control of the supreme court seems to be slipping a Utlte. The opinions of a lot of Uttle fellowa, In these days, ere reflected by the stock market. GOVERNOR LEHMAN, President Roosevelt's FRIEND, says the bill to weaken the supreme court Is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. Millions of people feel that way about It. When the bill seems likely to pass, they FEEL WROSE. When- It seems less likely to pass, they FEEL BETTER. When they feel worse, they sell. When they feel better, they BUY, That la why the atock market goes up when the court bill' chances go down. 1 Flight 'o Time Medfurd and JackMin Cuunty nistur; Irum the riles ol the .Mall Tribune 10 and 20 rears ago.
