After much maneuvering were able lo get seats to "You Can't Take It With You" with out consulting the speculators. Thia ia the Pulitzer prize play, and ia a box office ten-atrike. Expected to be rolling in the aisles and atagger home in a more or lesa hysterical condition. But once more great expectationa were knocked for a loop, and after much effort we are atill unable to figure it out. Had the performance been put on by the Baker Stock com pany in Portland, at $1.50 tops, we would have agreed it was a good slap-stick farce, adequately performed, with a refresh ing and wholesome philosophy, emerging in the last act, from the general cock-eyed chaos. But here waa the Pulitzer winner, and the big hit of the 1937 season, at a minimum of $3.30 per seat, the place filled and many standing and while there waa plenty' of good horae play, many snappy gags and no end of amusing nonsense, what all the shooting has been about is more than we can fathom. Perhaps the answer ia that the present writer lias no taste for true farce. But farce to our mind shoul with all its exaggeration and caricature, have a body and a soul, so to speak, and as a whole make sense. '.'You Can't Take It With You" doesn't, or at least didn't as far as we were concerned. a e e e , The net result left us as cold, as a Chinook salmon on ice. But the audience enjoyed it, so did most of the Medford delega tion, and the house is already sold out for next week. Perhaps we should consult a doctor and see if there isn't something radically wrong with the editor's digestive apparatus. Even so and returned to normalcy we doubt if we will ever con sider anything so side-splitting in the more use of the word "STINK I" Finally we defy anyone to suggest that the romantic clement in this prize winning opus, does not. DESERVE, the term, in every TENSE, and delivered WITHOUT a smile! a Andrew Mellon is dead. He couldn't take it with him cither. After giving away many millions; at the end, he had some 200 of them left. Most of them will go to educational and charitable institutions, trusts, etc., etc., which is all to the good of course. BUT, if a reform of the profit system can be carried out which will distribute no more top heavy fortunes, like Andy's, to the FEW. and more comfortable incomes to the MANY, we are quite sure the Can't say much' for the weather Bince we reached here, in fact it has been terrible, but bureau knows its nIiui. We have yet to find a single prediction not carried out. This is Sunday. The prediction for tomorrow night when that postponed heavyweight match between Louis and Farr is scheduled, is showers. If the exhibition is post poncd again that will make average exactly 100, ro return to "You Can't tne trouDie with your correspondent may be, that like many other outlanders when New York is concerned he suffers from a blind spot. As we left the theatre last niirht and fouirht our way tnrougii the mob of sweating and jostling humanity along Broadway, (not only the sidewalks but the streets, literally jammed from one towering wall of hot stone and glBsa to the other) with the electric signs above, nearly putting one's eyes out with a crazy dance of color and movement, we did find ourselves saying "well this is crazy TOO, it just doesn't make sense 1" And they are putting on a candidates running on two and three party tickets, and issuing all sorts of absurd statements, which to our mind, come directly out of a political MAD HOUSE. able to find any one who can, make head or tail of it. So it may be, that the Pulitzer winner wasn't merely a slapstick farce after all, but an authentia portrayal of life in New York, as it actually exists. It merely takes more than two weeks to catch up with and understand, it I R. W. R. P.O.Mclnivre NEW YORK, Sept. I. The hat check millionaire Joins the long list o( vanquished plutocrat.

There la -till confusion In public thought as to whether or not the popular stage and screen actress, Louise Dreeser, la a sister of Theo dore Dreiser. The origin of the story goes back to Paul Dresner's days aa song writer. He was Dreiser's brother and changed his name to Dresser for professional reasons. Paul waa a close friend of Billy Kerlln. an engineer, running between Evans- vine and Terre Haute. One day a beautiful little girl came to Drewr' Chicago office, aald ahe was BUI) Kerlln'a daughter and wss looking for a ob as a singer. Dresser listened, heard her sing and then determined the child of his old friend should get that Job. picked up the tele phone: "My slater, Louise Dresser, Is In town and wants a Job slutting . The girl got the Job. made good and that's how lovely Louise Kerlln became Louise Dretwer. Mtss Dresser once told me Theodore Drei ser was the only member of Paul Dresser's family she had never met.

Tha astounding thing la that Judels knows only few ordinary words of French. Yet bo pat are his nuances even French audience have listened to his mean ingless abracadabra and believe that they, for some reason, had simply not been able to catch what he la saying. He can perform similar mira cles with Chinese, Oerman. and Ital ian, languages about which ha knows a van less. Hendrlk Will em Van Loon, whose voice has become so popular on tha radio, la one of tha town's moat ver satile literary figures. Few are such Jacks of all trades and masters of so many. He paint well, water color sketches of hla native Holland being highly treasured by collectors, and he Is an etcher and caricaturist of ability. Aside from his fame as a historian he Is an astute biographer, aa his Rembrandt proves. He can change his writing pace at will, turn ing In stories 'for children and ad venture tales for grown tips. Too. aside from hla oratorical ability he la an authority on sailing ships. People who know him well know how to land him for a dinner guest. They have only to mention there will be pea soup, his favorite dish and one of which he never tires. X like the way one publisher bally hoos a recent novel. The ad: "His best novel to date."

I do not think this is due to the more frequent dlngno- tit of "elr'uti' today, but rither It it my general obtervatlon that young children are not so frequently eubject to chronic antfflet as children were a generation ago. I would attribute this to the gradually Improving hygiene of the h&me. Slowly but surely the light is permeating the home snd many of the old superstitions regarding ventilation, drafts, heating, exposure, dampness and going out without excessive clothing are fading. I sm no optimist. X do not expect to see good hygiene everywhere until the last of the old guard In medicine passes awny. But I am confident It won't be long now. Anyway. In spite of the old guard, nearly everybody now knows that at least some alleged "colds" are caused by Infection j That's progress, considerins. Chsracterlatlo mantfesta manifestations of simple chronic rhinitis or "nasal catarrh" are (1) nose becomes stuffy with trifling environmental changes, change of clothes, draft, dampness, etc.; (2) excessive nasal discharge; (3) victim generally insist he "takes cold easily," though In fact all the symptoms he calls "cold" clear away and are forgotten In an hour or two when the customary environment is restored; (4) first one side, then the other side of the nose seema nearly or quite stopped up, whenever the victim tests by breathing with one nostril closed. Simple chronic rhinitis commonly accompanies adenoid and tonsil en largement In children. Both cause and effect call for mora vitamin D, in my judgment, Just my personal opinion. Some good doctors and re search workers hold the same opin ion. Most of the ola guard will re ject It aa a durned newfangled no tion. There are various ways to get more vitamin D, and more will never hurt child or adults, so It Is at least worth trying before you rush into the operating room under the super vision of your old guard practitioner.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Medicine Making Rapid Strides In a pamphlet distributed by tha American Medical Association X read that a well known surgeon objects to the Injection method of treating her nia because It requires considerable time and hence Is unsulted for pa tient who come from a distance as It would require them to remain away from home for quite a while. IT. S. A.) Answer You must have got hold of some ancient stuff. The American Medical v Association has recently recognized the value of tha Injection method and even published some articles on the technic In It official Journal. Varicose Veins and Varicose Ulcers You have offered advice several times about varicose veins, but Z have never seen anything about vari cose ulcers in your column. I have had one on my leg for six years and It has never quite healed. (O. C. B.) Answer -Send a stampfd envelope bearing your address and ask for In structions for treatment of varicose veins or varicose ulcers. Xt Is gener ally necessary to treat the underlying varicose vein or at least to employ measures to counteract the Impaired circulation In tne leg, In order to heal the ulcer. Enlarged Thymus Newborn Infant lived only a few hours. Autopsy report ascribed death to enlarged thymus gland. (Mrs. O. F.) Answer X-ray examination of ser ies of young Infants showed enlarged thymus gland in a large number, whether the infants had any appar ent trouble attributable to such a condition or not. Frankly nobody knowa what enlargement of the thy mus in tha young infant signifies. X-ray treatment purport to cause tha enlarged gland to reduce some thing like "normal" size; but possi bly the large thymus naturally under goes such change In the course of weeks or months, whether treatment It used or not. What medicine has not yet learned about the thymus gland will fill large books some day. td. Note: Persona wishing to communicate with Dr. Brady ahould tend letter direct to Dr. William Bradj. M.

A VTOMOBILE deaths for the V. S. - are up five percent for July and seven percent for the first seven months of 1937.. (They were high enough, goodness knows. In 1936, and the Increase Isn't reassuring.) Automobile deaths are caused chief ly by CARELESS DRIVINO. But It is beginning to be apparent that peo ple won't control their own careless ness.
