The First Lady of the Land opines there 4s no Immediate chance for the election of a Lady Prenident, due to the Inexperience of the ffiir mx In politics, and the lack of public confidence In their ability.

It waa stu pendously convincing. Do Your Part in Census "IF each before hir own door iwept the village would be clean." If every community in the country, will do ita duty, when the national unemployment census ia launched tomorrow, one of the moat aerioui problems confronting the country can be solved. For obviously no problem can be solved until the exact nature of that problem ia known. And the only way in which the exact nature of the unemployment problem can be known, i through taking a nation wide census, the results of which can be depended upon. This ia a voluntary cenaua. There is no compulsion about it. It ia therefore a teat of good citizenship, of what might be termed peace-time patriotism, and of what the President termed 'national team work" from which will come again."that feeling of national solidarity which ia the strength and glory of the American people." a e e rllS is an appeal to the people of southern Oregon, to answer this call from the President, in the spirit the occasion demands. The results of the census from the atandpoint of the indi vidual, will not be made public, the privacy of the person con cerned will be completely protected, there need be no hesitancy on that score. But as before stated the entire value of this census depends upon the accuracy of ita figures. And this depends entirely upon the good faith and honesty of the individual. So when you receive a card, put down the facts exactly as they are, without coloring or restraint. Give the government the TRUTH as far as you are concerned, let all others do the same, and this census will be the success it should be, and must be, if the critioal unemployment problem is to be solved.

Howard Jones of Southern California, is generally regarded, by those who know, aa one of the greatest football coaches in the country. Aa a matter of fact, he has a record that can prove it He IcadR them b11 in his victorious batting average, through the years. But recently he hasn't done so well. He record of his team this year, which started out with such high hopes has been particularly disappointing. The Trojans were expected to fight it out with Washington and California for Rose Bowl honors. As a matter of fact, the Trojans are struggling desperately to keep out of the cellar. SO they are clamoring for Howard Jones' scalp down in sniiiliprn California A few venra acO. the football fans presented Howard with a new car, as a slight token of their appreciation i they are now demanding "the big bum", step clown and out, and are presenting him only with Bronx cheers sprinkled with frozen razzberries. IT was ever thus. The coach of a winning team is always a second Napoleon, the same coach with a losing team, is a has-bean, and a leading candidate for the Old Men's home. "Prink" Callison of Orrjgon is no exception. A week ago when Oregon pulled out a victory over W. S. C, Prink was a "swell guy", and was going places with his smart Sophomore team. But the final gun in that crushing defeat by California. Saturday, had hardly sounded before the footbnll fans were asking what Prink had ever done anyway, and where did he get the idea he knew anything about football. His immediate departure was demanded. OHELAN at Washington has had a similar experience. He was a pigskin Miracle Man a year ago when he had the Hose Bowl champions; three weeks ago the, same chorus de manded he go back to the sticks of Indiana. Now with a tie game at Berkeley, and a crashing triumph over U.C.L.A., his stock ia rising a bit, and with one or two more victories, he will be back in favor again. A LL of which pointa to the need of self control and restraint where football coaches are concerned. The coach is im portant but the materia is more important. And in college football, outside of the semi-pro class, it is a physical impossi bility for the best coach in the world, to produce championship teams ALL the time. It is also impossible over a period of years to avoid the natural ebb and flow of football fortunes. We believe there is a demand for better sportsmanship among football fans, particularly the old rads, who can dish it out so liberally when their team is winning, but. can't "take it", when they happen to be on the short end of the score. "Poor Little Rich Girl" TAID you know the Southern Pacific is the third largest industrial corporation in the United States, only exceed ed by the American Telephone and Telegraph, and the Pennsyl vania Railroad! Well we didn't until we real an illustrated sketch of the S, P. in the November Issue of Fortune. It just misses reaching the two billion dollar mark a truly colossal enterprise. OKING on a side-line these days, with freight and passenger traffic, scrambled together from Portland to San Francisco, this column has often shied a few brick-bats at this industrial giant, and they have been deserved. But after reading this article wc are more disposed than ever, to give the devil hia due, and be somewhat more con siderate regarding the railroad's shortcomings. Any fairminded person reading the article, ne believe, will be similarly impressed. rPllK article is refreshingly free from the usual press-agent blurbing and white-washing technique. It is factual rather than flowery j realistio rather than rhetorical. It puts the bitter with the sweet, the good against the bad, and both pictorially Mid textually, gives, we believe, a remarkably true picture of this railroad from its somewhat scandalous origin, to ita present virtuous but troubled existence. Read it over if you get a chance. It will give yon a clearer idea of what Medford's onlv railroad has lo eontcoc with in this age of the autouiubile, the airplane and the motor bus.

ODOR ON THE BREATH. m m i if xti Si Controversy in medical press two or three years sgo over the nature and best remedy for the odor on the breath of persons who have eaten garlic be- f '7 I fore l n f 11 c ting low mortals. The Cincinnati school, after study and experiments, maintained that garlic and onion odors on the breath came from the blood via the lungs, snd that mouth washes merely mask the offending odor and do not cure It. I have sometimes pondered whetner such a breath calls for a cure or for an operation. The Harvard school, on the other hand, having made a careful study and some experiments along similar lines. Insisted that the odor on the breath of garlic or onion eaters comes fwm the essential oil con tained In these vegetables., but this does not come via the lungs or in air arising from the stomach or in salivary secretion, but arises solely from particles of onion or game re tained in nooks tn the mouth or about the teeth and gums. In sup port of the Harvard contention they said the breath can be Immediately and completely rid of the odor oy washing teeth and tongue ana rins ing the mouth with a solution of chloramine. The chlorine liberated tn the . mouth react chemically wltn the essential oils and deodorizes them. Later the Harvard school made a aupplementary report to the etfect that a diluted solution or noaiuin hypochlorite has been found to he somewhat more effective than the chlorsmlne solution. Dilute solution of sodium hypochloride . Is official in the U. S. and British Pharmaco poeia, under the title of Liquor sodll hypochlorite dilutus. It may be used undiluted or mixed half and halt with water as a mouth waah. There la no question that the odor on the breath of a person who has taken in a skinful of booze Is due to the alcohol or aldehyde excreted through the lungs. Neither this nor any other mouthwash can remove such an odor. The attempt to mask or smother the telltale odor with pungent aromatlcs such as cloves, peppermint, etc., merely calls atten tion to the depravity. If you do not wish to let any one detect the odor on your breath the most certain pre ventive Is not to drink. I pronounced unpleasant odor on the breath Is generally due to decomposing particles of food re tained between the teeth or about dentures. Perhaps frequent use of sodium perborate as tooth powder or In solution as mouth wash is the best corrective for this. The use of dental floss to remove particles clinging between the teeth Is some times necessary. Many persons with enlarged or in fected tonsils have trouble from ac cumulation of cheesy secretion in the crypts and if permitted to re main long these may produce a fetid odor on the breath. Beat treatment Is removal of the accretions by the physician, where gargling and gentle massage of the tonsils falls to dis lodge them. Then a few eloctro-co sgulatlon treatments to obliterate the crypts. Other foods than onion and g&tiic may Impart an odor to the breath, notably turnip, asparagus, cucum bers. Numerous medicines Impart a characteristic odor, and the garlic like odor on the breath of a person suffering from chronic arsenic poi soning la sometimes the first clue to the diagnosis.

I find myself now and again call- ing the evening meal supper Instead of the New York designation, din- j ner.

Harry Sllvey and I had our for tunes told in tea leaves at one ot the snack bars the other afternoon By a sloe-eyed senorlta In a gipsy costume who confessed under a kid ding cross-examination that she cam from New Dorp, S. I. She predicted great careers for each, but warneo Sllvev agnlnst a "Titian charmer whom he would soon meet In an ; European capital." The trick in tor- ( tune telling Is so obvious. They have ; a list of stock readings, a number j of the assertions rittlng any man or woman. The rest Is Just absurd ; romancing. j drama of death and destruction, or we go to a movie and see the same drama In pictures until we get bo calloused with the sound and sight of death and destruction that we become indifferent to the bloodshed snd sorrow of our fellow man. The Constitution used to read, "life, liberty end the pursuit of hap piness,' but all It means to us to day Is "strife, liabilities and the pur suit of blood-thirsty thrills." When we gave the Community Cheat our bit of change and pinned that little pin on our coat or waist, which read, "Be a Good Neighbor,"' we thought we were being a good neighbor. Well, we were as far as dollars and .cents were concerned. But we csn never measure life snd love In dollars and cents. When we went to the Armistice parade, did we go with our hearts filled with devotion, love and re spect? We did not. We went to tne parade with our bellies filled with curiosity, and to perform a disagree able duty. And that la why there was no cheering or hand clapping or saluting of the flag. All we could see In the flag were the stars ot Hollywood and the stripes of the prison bars. Yes, there Is something missing. It la the old spinning wheel in each parlor, e'-anlng dreams of the long, long ago. ARCHIE PARKER, V Central Point, Ore. November 13. Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS ' HENRY MORGENTHAU, eocretary of the treasury, in e. carefully considered speech, announces the end of pump-prlmlng and asserts that the administration must carry out his plan to balance the budget meaning that within a year the government must begin to spend no more than It takes In. He adds specifically that this should be accomplished by cutting about $700,000,000 from next year's emergency expenditures, rather than by Increasing taxes. 4 AT THE seme time, he holds out an olive branch trt hiifiinAu. hu Intimating cautiously that existing taxes that have e tendency to kill the goose that lays the golden egg may be modified If It can be done without reducing present revenues. THE stock market (which la a ba rometer Indicating whtt the pub lic thinks about business prospects) was closed when the secretary of the treasury made his speech Wednesday evening, and remained closed over the Armistice Dny holiday on Thurs day. . When the market opened on Fri day morning, trading waa cautiously optimistic, holding the gains of Wed nesday, but little more. Is other words, business baa been fooled to often with promises that It Is Inclined to wait tor t little more perform ance before displaying much enthu siasm. PROMISING a balanced budget Is one thing. Achieving It la an other. An unbalanced budget means spend ing. A balsnced budget means ECONOMIZING. Spending other peo ple's money Is always popular. Saving other people's money ISN'T. Staying In office Involves getting votes. Spending Santa Claus money has been a good vote-getter. Whether the members of congress, and the administration, will be willing to risk loss of votes In order to achieve a balanced budget remains to be seen. Investors, as Indicated by the ba havlor of the stock market, aren't any too certain yet. Flight 'o Time Med ford and Jackson County history from the flies of the .Mall Tribune 10 and 20 years ago.
