Editorial Correspondence SALINAS, Calif., Nov, 20. The best laid plans of mice and men, etc., etc. Had everything arranged to beat the traffic rap as far as the Big Game was concerned, going down leisurely shortly after breakfast, and have a visit with a cousin who is studying for his doctor's degree at Stanford. Then a restful luncheon, the big game and with the 80,000 people, struggling back to San Francisco in one big traffic jam, we would set sail oq smooth seas for the south, and have a late dinner with friends at Carmel-by-the-Sea. But as things turned out we met a class mate we hadn't seen for 15 or 20 years, who had come in from his farm on Wal nut Greek to listen to the Harvard-Yale game over KG0. KQO is just across the hay and he maintained, it would be the next thing to having a ring side seat in the stadium at Soldiers' field, with no ice or snow, and he wag smelling a Harvard victory in the rain-soaked air. Resisted his invitation to hear the returns at his club however, and returned to our hotel, about ten fully determined to carry out our original plan. But the more we thought of his idea the better minutes after ten, a glance out the window revealed the golden mist coming down harder than ever, we ordered a radio up to the room and tuned in on the Cambridge game. So that explains why we didn't miss the traffic jam going down, but spent one of the most exciting and satisfactory mornings, in many a long year I Harvard 13, Yale 6. As to the traffic jam after the Big Game, perhaps 80,000 rain-soaked football fans, poked headlights to fenders back to San Francisco but at least 40,000 decided to go south, to San Jose and particularly to Del Monte. At any rate there was a procession two abreast most of the way. And the rain which had stopped during the second half, started up again, fog came in from the sea for good measure, and when at an aver age rate of about 15 miles an hour we discovered a nice look ing inn on the outskirts of Salinas about 8 p. m. we decided to call it a day and stop here for the night, a a a And here we come to the mice angle though this was mere ly a mouse. When en route down we had to draw out of the parade for gas at a wayside the hood to check the oil, fingered around and brought out a mouse which he found in the drip pan. The mouse was soaked with oil and judging by its contours was a prospective mother. 'It was dead, very. The attendant said he had found various things under hoods but this was the first time he had found a mouse. Well, a modern Bobbie Burns would no doubt write a poem on the spot, and probablv in somehow with a thrilling yarn, but all we can do is to con elude that wherever that wee mousie came from or whatever its plans, we don't believe the latter worked out as anticipated. So much for mice and men ! Well, how was the. Big Garnet We missed the first quarter so can only report second hand has a son in Stanford, said it was tor however wasn't. The "wonder team" proceeded toybehave very much, as they did against uregon tne ween Detore, marcn ing up the field with steady gains, mostly of the delayed buck reverse and quarterback sneak variety, putting over two touch downs and missing a goal from the field by inches. The second half however, was a different story. Coach Allison kept in his first team, and according to our information told them to turn on the heat and run up a big score. I'erhaps they turned on the heat but they tan up no score, in fact they were lucky they weren't scored on, for the Stanford boys were in there fight ing for points all tho time. In fact if Tiny Thornhill had put some glue on the fingers of his brickfield, the score might well have been 13 to 6, or even a tie game, with a lucky break or two. They fumbled and juggled the pig skin enough to bring tears to tho eyes of a cigar store Indian. 9 9 Not that we would suggest the better team didn't win. It did. California was never in real any time. But except in that second quarter there was no won der team about Cal. The first string couldn't do a thing against the Stanford line in the second half, and while the San Fran cisco sports writers are claiming Allison pulled them out to give the second team a chance, our own conviction is he pulled them because they were tired out and all through. It was nil in all rather a strange game. The plays that didn't click in 3 quarters of tho game DID in one. That's the story of tho contest in a nut shell. WHY they did and ' didn't, someone who knows more about football than your correspon dent will have to explain. If the report that Allison wanted his boys to run up a big score to wipe out some unpleasant mem ories of the past is correct, then our advice to those sportingly inclined is not to mortgage the old homestead and shoot the works for California in that Rose Bowl game. For 3 quarters yesterday there was no wonder team representing the blue and gold the lads from Berkeley may be only a ONE quarter or a ONE half team. At anv rate tho prejudiced slant of most of the San Francisco sports writers and their boosting all the time, with fulsome llattery, lias gotten one country ed itor up in' Southern Oregon, pretty far down. California has a good footliHll team hut there is nothing super-super aooui it. in suite of one San Francisco sportswriter who had the crust to suggest that if All-American selections were on the up and up, Cal. would have at least five of riffle! California will be lucky Yes, it rained a fine spray, as perfume atomizer, but altho being late we had to sit in a little puddle, it was so warm it didn stunts hogged down a bit without sunshine, the stands were never as colorful before. These now cellophane sncKers aim hoods, in vivid greens, and blues and pearl and crimson, made the muss across the way look like a huge Persian carpet a beautiful sight to behold. umbrellas like colored mushrooms blossoming out when it really started to rain. a a a a a Not exactly an exciting contest or a thrilling one, this was nevertheless one of tho most popular Big Games ever held. By popular we mean, a game with the minimum heartbreaks, and the maximum satisfaction. For both tenuis and their supporters came out with something to boast about. Cal in taking the coast title and K'ose Howl honors, Stanford in holding this "wonder team" to 13 points, and being in there swinging from the first whistle to the final eun R. W. R.

THE HABIT OF From the deptha of his depravity a correspondent uka tor an article on reading In bed, and complain that after 30 minutes of It hla eyes become so tired he can no longer read. The read lng lamp In back of him haa a 76 watt blue bulb and he wonders whether there are new reading glasses that might correct that condition. (W. K.) Mark Twain, according to hla biographer, not only read In' bed but did a great deal of hla writing there. I never quite believed it. though.

An hour or possibly two hours should be the limit of night reading or study for anyone whose occupa tion is sedentary. More than this la rather a strain on the eyes. One who does honest work, especially out door work, or one who gets a fair amount of open air exercise, dally, may read for perhaps three hours In the evening without excessive fatigue. The light described by tho corre spondent la not a good reading light. Such blue light Is trying to the eyes. Better a frosted or opal bulb of not over 60 watts In an adjustable lamp three or four feet above ths reading page. This lamp should not be un der a dark dome or shade.

Whatever position the reader la In, the source of Illumination must always be behind the plane of vision.

A good bed Is the most uncomfortable reading chair Imagin able. Indispensable adjuncts of read ing In bed are a couple of efficient nurses or attendants to take turns adjusting the bed and the occupant, at five minute Intervals, to prevent cramps and subluxations. Daytime reading In bed requires that the bed be placed with head next the window or between two windows, & that the daylight com ing through the wlndowa will not glare In the patient's eyes. To those who are not confined to bed, I would suggest that everything be made ready, and the reading done in a comfortable chair.

Yet he had one of the lustiest appe tites hereabouta. He generally had a second helping of main dishes and two kinds of dessert. His digestion, too. waa perfect. To fatten up he once went on a milk diet at a sani tarium In Jersey. The usual course waa five weeks and almost everybody gained 10 to 1ft pounds. Clarke re mained 11 and did not gain a pound.

When his melon came, he took a bite, sent It back. He had his soup warmed over, and polished his silver on hla napkin before using. He did not seem to know for a half dozen bites whether his cutlet was right, and he got up from hla chair to do a little auperln tending of the salad dressing mixing. It waa quite a ahow, of which he seemed totally unconscious. And I could not help but sneak a peek at his tip. The son-of-a-gun left lfi cents. (Copyright, 1937, McNaught Syndicate, Inc.)

Our ship of state, 48 decks and no bottom, sails In all direction at once, Liberty la the soothing syrup for an Iron collar. Moving the wall back a few feet merely enlarges the cell. It la far easier to hoodwink the human reason than the law of gravity. Fall ing seems to be the paramount fea ture of our existence. A series of falls not forwards, but backward and down. Man's belief in protecting himself agslnst earthly dangers. Is to summon dangers to the rescue of dan gers. In this way. man studies how to become fearless, humble and dis honest. Honesty Is the best policy. After the first million. Is man's Intelligence merely a word? Undoubtedly, when we' witness the stupidity with which he has gov erned himself. The present excellent state of chaoa with Its sister debris, Is glorified under the name of na tional progress. Instead of man con demning himself, wretched alibis are the order of the day.

L. BULLEN. Crescent City. Cel.. Nov. 22, 1937. s Comment on the Days News By FRAM JENKINS WHAT Is wealth? Wealth la the product cf labor applied to raw materials natural re sources. WHAT la capital? Capital Is wealth that some body has earned and SAVED UP. HOW does capital help labor? Capital helpa labor by enabling It to obtatn tools with which to pro duce more and more and thjs EARN MORE. FOR example: Two men, working with a shovel and a wheelbarrow, can move only a little dirt In a day. and hence can earn only tow wages. But two men, working with a steam shovel and a truck, can move a LOT of dirt In a day, and hence can earn high wages. BUT It takes capital to obtain steam shovels and trucks. How are these men, working with their hands at low wages and needing practically all their wagea to support their fami lies, to obtatn them? Here la where caplta'l comes In. If they can find someone who has earned wealth and SAVED IT, thus providing capital, and can convince him that they are good workers and careful apenders. they can BORROW the needed capital, and with It they can buy a steam shovel and a truck and can PAY FOR THEM out of their Increased earnings and have money left with which to provide a higher standard of living for them selves and thetr families. THE workers, you see, provide em ployment for the saved -up wealth that we call capital, and the capital they borrow and use make It pos sible for them to Increase their earn ing power and so provide a higher standard for themselves .and their families. In other words. EACH HELPS THE OTHER. WHEN capital and labor work to gether, both benefit. When they fall to work together, or when they PULL AGAINST EACH OTHER, both lose. A lot of losses are being suffered, right now. There were only 23.000 automo biles in the United States In 1902; today there are more than one thou s.ind time that number.

The moderates, on the other hand, hope for nothing less than a perma nent peace with the utilities; a peace founded on administration assur ances of a profitable future to the companies snd a quid pro quo from the companies In the shape of some what reduced rates to the consumers. The moderstes believe that such s peace would have the best possible effect on the business situation, and they are urging the president to dust off his supply of olive branches ss quickly ss possible. The aspects of the administration's nAtror nAlt-v vrhlrh Vll.flv 'rllstUTb n.nw. j n v...... the utilities executives are two. The utilities men have a ausplclon. wnicn among some of them amounts to a grim conviction, that the president wants to drive them straight out of business, by government compe tition sponsored by the TV A snd Its proposed little brothers. They are also sweating at the prospect of the stringent federal regulation to which they will scon have to sub mit, unless the left-wingers of the White House are betting wrong on the supreme court's reaction to the holding company act. Therefore, the moderates want the president to make the utilities a peace offer with the following provisions: I. Definite assurance to be given all utilities companies, except those regarded as Incorrigible at the White House, that they will be permitted tn Mnllmu In nilftlnpRA And BO OU earning a reasonable profit.

The oddest festure of this whole strange situation, so Intimately af fecting the admlnlstrstlon's future. Is the fsct that, whatever the left wingers ssy, the famous desth sen tence clause Is likely to be modified. The desth sentence clause is not Importantly Involved In the present controversy, but It Is Interesting, nevertheless, that the utilities ex perts of the securities and exchange commission are almost unanimously agreed that the clause In Its pres ent strict msndstory form, will be virtually Impossible to apply' effic iently. They want a revision of It which would set up genersl stand ards of utilities management for tne commission's guidance, and then al low the commission to bring eacn utilities compsny as nearly as prac ticable Into line with the general standards.
