There have been 19 years of -pence, but one would hardly know It, with a war every year since, and much new strife brewing. The Administration now plana to prime the pump" to halt the buil hens recession. What ta really needed la a little sewing machine oil on tbe pocket book hinges. Winter approaches. Several now need wood, more than the flan they taught last summer. "A neat Job of table-turning was executed by one of the victims of an epeclally diabolical, if good na tures charivari, Thursday night." (Slrvklyou Newa) The cheerful tlern- lahnesB of It all. America haa barred, on the ground of moral turpitude, the French beauty and eutle. who ahot a French count In a non-vital spot, and boasts a number of heavy dates with none other than Premier Mussolini ol Italy. Her marksmanship and vam plrlng, were of a low calibre. Thia raises the moral tone of the nation, and gives hope, one of these days, one of the more pestiferous alien nellraiaers will forget, and park hla auto In front of a 'lrc hydrant, and get sont home. PROVIDENCE SHARES Rl.AMR (The Dalles Chronicle) "Hoping to pull free from the fullhack and continue on. Baker went low and with the drive of ten men hla shoulder hit mtd center In tho Camaa player's atomach; whether poorly aimed or by the act of providence it cannot be determined. At any rate our courageous little full bark went down." Oeeee are now headed south in mass migrations. One of the marvels of Nature la the direction instinct of geese. They fly. with a leader In V-formntlons, keeping a straight line, like autotsta on the highways when the state police are watching. "Mark Sullivan Is dismayed to learn that our social security funds are being used for current speudlng. It seems we picked a cloudburst to begin saving for the rainy day." (Exchange) S0 It srema. The master of the National Orango advises "farmers to remain Inde pendent." and lists "regimentation as a sinister tnnuence." No warning la sounded against Mate Orange leadera consorting and cavorting with labor union politicians. OTIIEKWIKE, NO LAXITY. (.Imirtlon City Times) "These students traveled by car. Four In the front seat . . . which Is against the law . . Fifteen hanging on the outside, which Is against the law . . . blowing their horns unnecessarily which la against the law. The caravan got away from Cor vallis without being stopped by the polite. The carsvsn went through Sugrne without being stopped by the police and it went through Junction City without being stopped by the police." at A state highway commission mem ber recommends CO mph., a a maximum speed on the highways, "under some conditions," nnd 35 to 40 mpt for others. The suggested speeds, when and If Invoked, will be followed by autotsta, who can't go any faster, a WHAT A Ol'VI "He to not tall, he Is a little heavy, hla body la timid.

The designation of "weeks" for the promotion of various movements is typically American. The often neglected and little appreciated pear has at last come into its own with the recent estiihlishment of "National Pear Week" by the Independent Food Distributors' Counoil. It ia the important step to publicize pears on a national scale that growers here have been praying for. Here is concerted selling effort of 153,000 grocery stores affiliated with the various branches of this council PLUS the important promotion of many thousands of chain grocery stores, for the large chains have indicated their willingness to cooperate. . . I I1ST0RY records that the poets of Persia sang the praises of the pears that grew in the famous gardens of that land. While possibly lacking in this aesthetic touch, the method em ployed by backers of the National Pear Week movement should prove effective. All advertising media will be used; millions will be made "pear conscious" and River valley will feel tho beneficial results of this and future minimi campaigns. This sweeping program will job of the Oregon-Washington with a sound program tor tile QICJ1ILAPS the most important result of National Pear Week will be added consumers' knowledge of the value of pears as a food and the increasing use of this fruit in salads, desserts, beverages, jams, jellies, etc. Increased sales and the solution of many marketing problems will go hand in hand with the spread of this knowledge. Scientists have established the of pears; nutritionists claim a for pears which commend thta' increasing waist lines. There this yearly effort to increase be successful. T is welcome news that steps fresh pears available throughout the year in local stores. Timed so that all winter varieties and canned pears will reach the channels of trade, each year preceding the week merits the interest and support by the success of the pear industry 1 H. G. Japan Goes Fascist A RECENT report from Tokyo tells of plana for creation of n highly centralized government, with power concentrated in the hands of six men. It would really mnko little change in the existing situation. Prince Konoye, now premier, and Oneral Sntpyamn, now war minister, would keep those posts, as would the strongest of the other members in the present cabinet. The parliament would merely be deprived officially of authority which it no longer exerts. The fnet is that Japan lias been ruled for years by a small army group, in spite of the pretense of constitutional govern ment. This group haa steadily defied the majority party and refused to accept the popular verdict of the last three elections. It is necessary in any country to concentrate governmental authority in time of war, but in this case the war is made an excuse for absolute rule by the same group that made the war. So Japan frankly joins the Fascist countries, her "pop. having no more self-determination than the Germans or Italians, and for the present, at least, seeming content with their dic tatorship. If Japan wins the war and gets away with the Chinese territory wanted by the imperialists, her generals will be in power for a long time. R. S. a. O.aMclnfvre NRW YORK, Nov. 11.

Dr. Osier attri buted this to the more uniform heating of houses In this country. There la no doubt, he said, in 1900, "that with prud ence even In the most changeable w 1 n ter weather m u e h may be done to prevent the onset of chronic bron chitis. Woolen ahould be used and especial care should be taken in the spring months not to change them for lighter onea before the warm weather la estab lished." Southern California and Florida have winter climates In which sub jects of chronic bronchitis live with the greatest comfort. For that mat ter, southern California has summer, spring and autumn climate where anybody can live with the greatest comfort. Oliver Wendell Holmes regarded chronic bronchitis as a slight ail ment that promotes longevity. Chron ic bronchitis never kills anybody, and In some instances it seems to be the very thing needed to make the sub ject obey the rul-s of hygiene which more vigorous folk are Inclined to flout until they find they aro wear ing out prematurely. So, if you have winter cough you had better take good care of yourself If you want to live beyond the allotted three score and ten. Aa for woolen undlra, they're all right If you are a timber cruiser or an ice harvester or a postman or a farmer. Such excessive clothing would be all wrong for a housewife or a hoiwehusband or for anyone who spends most of the time Indoors nnd only enough time outdoors to hurry from shalter to shelter. For the ma jority of folk, bronchial trouble or no bronchial trouble, light cotton underwear la most comfortable and most healthful, with whatever outer . clothing, coats, hats, overshoes, gloves and the like the weather snd their ! whims may Indicate when they go out. One subject to chronic winter cough or to "catarrh" whatever ail ments this meaningless term magics or to sinusitis, should war stock- 1 like a hair In your aoup.

Comment on the Days News By FRANK JENKINS THE common cold, which takes the Joy out of life for about half the population around this season of the year is either a staggeringly j costly nuisance or a public benefac tordepending on which school of economics you adhere to. 4 THE United States public health service estlmstes that the aver age worker loses from three to five working days each year because of colds. If you are old-fashioned and be lieve that the lesa we work and the less we earn the less we have, this means an annuel economic loss of about a half billion dollars, which ts enough to command attention even In these big money days. But If you lean to the theory, so widely promulgated at present, that the less everybody works the better off everybody la, you'll have to hail the common cold as a promoter of prosperity. Jk IiOT of money has been spent in ra. the study of the common cold, but as yet there la little agreement as to Its cause and cure. Most authorities believe It la caused by infection from a filterable virus (which la a sort of germ) but this virus that does the damage has not yet been discovered. Many be lieve that chilling the body lower i the surface temperature of the mu cous membranes of the pharynx (which Ilea between the mouth and the aesophegus) towering their re sistance and permitting their Infec tion by bacteria, ( germs) normally present. Still another school holds that dis turbance of the regulation of the heat of the body cause colds. (So. you e. If you believe that Cei's Jtave m Aome-maie cake J Schilling Baking Powder Brady. M D.

Indeed, It Is more Important to keep the feet com fortable or as comfortable aa possible in the many sudden changes of tem perature to which one la exposed In going In and out of heated environ ment many times a day, than It la to keep the rest of the body comfort able. Reflex vasomotor control de pends on the feet (and to a degree on the hands). Not that cold, feet or wet feet or cold weather or exposure to cold has anything to do with the cause of bronchitis. If It did, none of us could escape It. But If you already have some chronic trouble of the sort you must be more particular, perhaps more cranky about these en vironmental factors than a normal individual has to be. In order to get along as comfortably as possible and with the minimum of trouble from your aliment. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Thousand and One Kind.
