City Haulier) geivio. Editorial Correspondence SAN FRANCISCO, November 19. There is a persistent ru mor there is to be some sort of a football game here tomorrow, or perhaps it's at a little village called Palo Alto down on the S. P. a spell. Haven't been able to confirm the reports as yet. Having been here only a couple of hours, we would say the eame has already been played and both sides won. We admit that's an unusual outcome, but how else can one explain that the alleged college rivals are both celebrating. Just ran in to a weather-beaten group of middle aged gentlemen down the hall, coming out of a huddle after executing a vocal tribute to "Cal ifornia, the blue and the gold" and in the Redwood bar, a similar group were engaged in raising their bald beads and glasses to Stanford the "good old cardinal crew," with three rousing cheers and a tiger. There wasn't a note of defeat or de pression in either performance, so unless there is evidence to the contrary, we must conclude, the contest is over and both sides have found something in the result which pleases thpm very much. A consummation devoutly to be wished, in the realm of overemphasized intercollegiate athletics. ..... Wc left Jfedford this morning at 6:30, it was still raining and as dark as the inside of your wiper to function and a rockv Talent didn't help very much, we were ten or fifteen minutes Not until we passed the revolving airplane beacon to the left did the clouds on the cast start to lighten a bit. And the headlights weren't dimmed until we rolled into the (itiaran- tine station for the usual inspection. The officer in charge was either not entirely awake, or had enough discernment to realize we had no fruit in our bost, diseased or otherwise. He gave us our inspection slip in exactly in our interstate commerce experience, and a precedent which we trust will bo permanent. Needless to say we have motored over this stretch of high way many, many times, but never before in such a storm as beset us from Yrcka to Shasta City. Lady Luck rather than any cxpcrtnpss as a navigator saved us from landing -in the ditch. Not only did the rain come down in buckets, but there was a gale on port quarter, of truly typhoonic proportions which at times literally swept the tail end of the car across the highway, as if the rear wheels were fastened to roller skates. The clouds were only a few feet above the roof of the depot at Gazelle, and black as soft coal smoke. While these clouds scur ried in one direction, lighter clouds higher up shot off at right angles to them, and the wind was 1n still another quarter. This rauy sound cock-eyed, but as a matter of fact that is the way it should sound, for that was the situation EXACTLY. How ever, we got through after a hard struggle, and while the rain never stopped it is drizzling here in San Francisco now, tho wind did, so we checked in at our hotel at four p. ra., which under the conditions is a great tribute to two tilings the improved highway from Mcdford to Market Street, and tho motor car wo were driving. (Don't worry Buck wc won't NAME it I) .... We would like to know the name of the Neon Light million aire there must be one probably several. Seems to us, here is a chance tor a good write-up hacksmith. It is 'only a slight exaggeration to say that this trip of over 400 miles was a continual dash through rows of gaily colored neon lights, luminous red and blue lettering. Every town, every service station en just one neon sign after another! been millions in it this business country and perhaps tho world Wonder who did it, and is now touring on his private yacht, with no worry in the world but how ho can get up an appetite. ..... This was our first trip over the new bridge under our own power. Our initial voyage was under the auspices of the S. P. and in a dense fog. But while the rain was still coming down when we hit Albany, the visibility was not impaired, and wc veered off the highway for the bridge without delay or mis hap. Imagine tho saving in time! All traffic in Berkeley and Albany and Oakland escaped and a straight one-way shoot for the estuary ramp! As far as reaching the San Francisco bus iness section is concerned, it must save at least half an hour over the old Berkeley Golden Gate ferry, and you never have to leave your scat or take your foot from the throttle. The charge has been reduced also. The toll is only 50 cents. At Carquinez bridge however they still hold you up for 70 there must be an other niionv inous millionaire in that set up. The prediction for the big game tomorrow (our operatives have just brought in the evidence to sustain the report that Stanford and California are goinir to tangle tomorrow and are not really celebrating today) is rain! Well, there IS something new under the sun after all. Your correspondent has attended a number of big games around these here parts, but never in foul weather, in fact never in anything but the blue sky's sun shine, and a temperature more conducive to white flannels than a pair of galoshes or a coon skin coat. We wonder if the wea ther man wouldn't reconsider if he were informed of ALL THE FACTS. For example, it's not only wet outside here in San Francisco, it's wet inside also in fact the place is saturated fore and aft. Couldn't he be satisfied with THAT, for say about three hours tomorrow and turn off the spigot from two to five o'clock? We wish he would consider it. After all there can be ton-much of a good tiling even when it's supposed to be good for California liquor revenues and next year's crops. .... This big game is going to be unique for us in another direc tion. We are going to motor down to Palo Alto before lunch instead of after, and after the game wc are heading not for Nob Hill, thank the Lord hut for Los Angeles and (we hope) the sunny south. We may be all wet before it's over, but at least we won't either have to catch a train and hang on to a strap, or move at a snail's pace in a motor jam from five to about eight o'clock. (In other words, we are going to sec the big game without getting in the Big Game traffic!) So as Dr. Emerson so sapientlv remarked, the lew of compensation ALWAYS works! 1?" W. f! PORTLAND.

Outdoor air at zero temperature with a relative humidity of SO per cent (that la, containing half the moisture It could hold If sat u rated), when heated to 70 de grees F. has a relative humidity of only 3 percent, which la drier than the air of the driest cli mate known, which la seldom leas than 25 percent. The year around humidity In Death Valley, California, averages 23 percent, and at Yuma. Arl7xna, It Is 35 percent In the driest month of the year. The excessively dried out air of the heated house (it matters little what type of heat Is used), causes wood work to shrink and fall apart, book bindings to crack, plants to droop and die, the skin of occupants to be come harsh and Irritable, mucous membranes to become congested and hypersensitive. It la hard on every one, but especially for those subject to chronic bronchitis, winter cough, sinusitis, "catarrhal" troubles, asth ma, emphysema, bronchiectasis. Comfort, , health and economy de mand for everyone either a suitable alr-condltloning equipment Installed with the heating system or at least some provision for evaporating a rea sonable amount of water dally In the air of the heated dwelling. This is desirable for those subject to chronic bronchitis, sinus trouble, winter cough, "catarrhal" conditions. Gad gets that evaporate a gallon of water a day are scarcely worth consider ing. As a rule It is necessary to evaporate from one to two gallons a day for each average size room in the house. In ordr to maintain a fair relative humidity In the heated at mosphere. The other fault with the climate where most people spend the winter Is absence of sunshine. It is not merely the warmth of sunshine that makes the ideal winter climate at tractive; It Is the greater proportion of ultraviolet rays In the sunlight near the equator. Ultraviolet rays, If the skin Is pxpowd to them. gn- I P.U.Mclntvre NEW YORK, Nov. 20. Memories of the news rooms: The new reporter with "New York experience" and a Greek letter claas pin.

VOTES AGAINST FORESHHANGE Directors Unanimous In De cision To Keep Service 'intact Favor Fund To Eradicate Blister Rust. Board of directors of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce stood unanimously committed yesterday on three matters considered of major im portance to southern Oregon. The board voted: 1 That the United States forest service should be left where It Is un der the department of agriculture. 2 That sufficient funds should ba appropriated and allotted for the complete eradication of blister rust In order to save southern Oregon for ests. 3 That flood control should be left with the board of United States army engineers. Timber Peril Told The directors voted on the propos als only after lengthy discussions In which, in some Instances, experts gave their views. The decisions were reach ed at the board's luncheon-meeting In the Hotel Med ford Friday after noon. It was brought out that under the current plan to reorganize the de partments of the federal government, the forest service would be placed under a new department of conserva tion. The board considered this part of the general reorganization plan fraught with danger. The board's unanimous conclusion was that the forest service, as now constituted. Is one of the most efficient branches of the government and that to con tinue Its outstanding service to the American public It should not be changed from Its present status. Conrad P. Wessala, In charge of blister rust control in this district, told the directors that an epidemic of the disease threatens destruction of white and sugar pine In southern Oregon and northern California. De struction would result In tremendous economic loss, the white pine In the Rogue river national forest alone hav ing a value of $12,000,000, Mr. Wea sel la said. Notify Congressmen To save the timber stands blister rust must be eradicated within three years, Mr. Wesselt stressed. The board voted to direct the chamber manager, A. H. Banwell, to write to each of the Oregon congres sional delegation recommending that funds be appropriated and allocated for complete blister rust eradication. The directors also ordered that let ters be sent to the congressional del egation expressing the chamber's view that the United States forest service should be left In the department of agriculture. The letters were mailed yesterday. Voting on a referendum being con ducted by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, the board went on record as favoring the continuance of flood control under the army en gineer board as provided In the 1936 flood control act. It was brought out that under a current proposal flood control would be transferred to re gional boards of civilians. Bounty Question l'p ' Speaking for the fish and game committee of which he is chairman. Everett G. Trowbridge recommended that the present system of paying bounties on predatory animals be continued. Under a new plan the bounty system would be terminated and the destruction of predatory an imals would be put In charge of four federal, government trappers. The change would save the county $1,000 a year. The question was discussed briefly by County Judge Earl B. Day and fully by Arthur J. Crews, Junior dis trict agent of the U. S. biological sur vey. Crews presented statistics to show that better results are pro duced when the destruction of preda tory animals Is left to government trappers than to the bounty system. Left to Court After hearing the talks and dis cussing the matter themselves, the directors decided that as the oest solution as a protection to stockmen, sheep raisers and turkey growers the matter should be left for final con clusion to the county court. At the suggestion of Mayor C. C Pumas and the city council, H. A. Austin, president of the Medford Mo tor Bus company addressed the board. explaining past operation of the line and plans for the future. It was the board's conseusus that there Is a place In Medford for this transporta tion medium and members proffered their cooperation. Twenty-four were at the meeting. Including Fire Chief Roy Elliott, Col K. R. Kelly. E. W. Carlton and John C. Ulan, government trapper in Douglas county. SOVIET SAVANTS SOLVE ICE DRIFT MOSCOW. Not.
