The present writer's first motor trip "over the hump" was taken in 1914, en route to the San Francisco Exposition. The conveyance was an old Ford, and there were three passengers with the usual assortment of luggage. The actual running time between Medford and Shasta Springs, wag 16 hours I 'T'HE chief cause of this tortoise-like progress was the old Oollarhide toll-road near the summit. This was a dirt road of course as was the entire route, full of rocks and chuck holes, and with a grade that varied from ten to about 50. Old "Model K" couldn't make it after a dozen desperate- attempts. So the luggage had to be taken out, and while Fred stayed at the wheel, the other two passengers shoved and pushed, until the crest was finally reached. Packing up the luggage, after each foray, was neither a pleasant nor a speedy task. Nor did two tire blow-outs on the other side (which had to be patched on the spot), help matters much. .... 'T'HIS wasn't an exceptional motor experience at that time. Nor was an hour's wait at Hornbrook, to repair the engine, which suddenly refused to work. In that day engines were all the time going out of whack, and over rough roads there wasn't a tire then made that would stand up. The party left Medford at 4 a. m. and reached the luxurious sanctuary of Shasta Springs hotel, in the evening at 61 A ND now with this new highway, and a new 8-cylinder car, whnt rln wp finflf TliA trin in thp mimmit thnt. tonlr ft hours, hard work, 23 years ago, can now be negotiated in less than' one, with only enough physical effort required, such as would be demanded by an elderly gentleman, reclining in a rocking chair, and tapping a hassock lightly with one foot I Aye verily Time marches on, and human comfort and luxury with it. Two great changes have occurred in motor transportation since 1914. The smooth paved highway instead of dirt roads. witn snarp curves and steep grades; and the pertection of a high-powered car, that is mechanically flawless, and practically speaking, fool-proof. . THE type of motor travel represented by that journey, 24 years ago, was undoubtedly better for one's muscular de velopment and appetite. If this sort of progress continues perhaps the time will come, when we will be virtually an arm less and legless race through disuse. But with outdoor sports as a substitute, such an eventuality appears decidedly remote. Moreover if time is money, unlimber your adding machine and figure up the cost. And if time ISN'T money, it is oertainly the yardstick of human life life that is all too short. And as time saved in one operation, can be devoted to some other, to save time means to broaden and enrich one's life. 0 the dedication of that new million dolkr grade, marks another important mile stone, in human development. And we are glad to learn from Henry F. Cabell, chairman of the highway commission, that as soon as funds are available, the improvement will be continued to the California line. When that time comes, as he declared, the Siskiyous will still be there in all their scenio grandeur, just as they have been all these centuries, but like the Alps for Napoleon, for the motorist, the Siskiyous as an obstacle, will cease' to exist.

Address Dr. William Brady, 265 El Camlno, Beverly Calif. From experience and observation over many years, I can consistently maintain that anyone who Is habit ually constipated and, a slave to physic, enema or other unnatural interference, can, if he will, win freedom for the rest or his life.

Elementary physiology, simple enough for any child to un derstand. Yet it Is hard to teach the averago layman this lesson be cause he knows so many things which ain't so." He has been a lifelong student of almanacs, testimonials and quack doctor bait, and hence he is pretty thoroughly imbued with the Idea of "autointoxication" or "poison- Ing of the system of absorption of toxic waste from the colon." He haai this morbid fancy so fixed In his' Imagination that the truth scarcely makeB any Impression. The poor goof j actually believes health, happiness and life Itself depend on the dally use of one or another artifice to "keep the bowels open." Very few, even of college educated Americans, think it necessary to take something or do something dally to keep the respiration or the circula tion active. The nostrum mongers and quacks of Yankeeland have not found it advisable to teach the gulli ble public that such regulators are essential. The function of the digestive tract including the Intestines Is as com pletely under control of the auto nomic or "sympathetic" (unconscious, involuntary) nervous system as Is the respiration and the circulation. Any textbook oi physiology explains this, but somehow the fact does not stand out In testimonials, circulars, pamph lets and other bait. Food, medicine, massage, exercise, constant watching or Introspection, and various ways and means of Irri tating or forcing action are all as Important or unimportant In the control or regulation of the action of the lungs or the heart as they are in the control or regulation of the action of the bowel. The taking of a laxative or cathar tlo seems a simple, harmless pro cedure in any circumstance to the wiseacre; yet It is the straw that turns the scale against recovery in many cases of acute appendicitis, for WILL POWER AND CONSTIPATION example.'

Communications A Bouquet From Lebanon To the Editor: I have been a visitor In Medford for nearly four months and am about to leave the city for my home in Lebanon, Ore. I thought I would like to express to you personally the greet pleasure your editorial writings have been to me during my stay here. The wife and I claim we read every thing we think worth while, and we both have said many times that no editorial writings have been read with as much keen Interest as yours. You are fair, unbiased, and brave In your review of any subject matter you undertake to cover. If we could afford It, we would subscribe for the Medford Tribune, not for the news items, but for the editorial writings. It Is something in these days of poli tics and cow-townlng to certain In terests to read articles written in such an Independent spirit as your contributions. One more comment. How can you. confine your effort to such a limited field of activity? This is none of the writer's business. It is Just a query. F. R. AUSTEN. Route 3, Lebanon, Ore.

However, when the Washington state law was tested in the court in 1937, it was upheld. Legal experts interpreted the decision as being so broad as not to bar any particular method by which a state may arrive at the minimum wage it permits. Today, ten such state laws have a "cost of living" determination of a minimum wage, four name a flat rate, seven prescribe a "fair value of services rendered," while three have held the fair value and cost of living basis. This is the seventh conference oi federal-state minimum wage offic ials. But it Is the first one to dis cuss the cost of living as a basts for setting minimum wage standards. In other words, the growing con cern of the state minimum wage boards in trying to arrive at a min imum pay rate, regardless of the provisions of their particular laws, appears to be how much It costs a woman worker to live. To aid In this discussion, the federal bureau has worked out ft detailed list of the Items which should go into a woman's budget.
