Tomorrow la Thanksgiving the breat (east day, whan, nothing but the tabla, loaded with turkey, and all the accessories, la supposed to groan. Some will eat too much, and some eat too little, and some eat not at all. The paat year, there have been economic pessimists, who pre dicted the time mas fast approach ing, when everybody would quit oat lng. Thla would be a downright an noying state of affairs. The nation Is besot by evangelists of gloom, and no signs of relief. That the gloom can be cut with the same knife, that amputates the turkey. Is one of the leading matters lor thankfulness. The empty woodshed situation, In a number of cases, la reported acute. The more fearless threaten to ven ture way out Into the backyard, and cut down a sturdy oak, without waiting for the coming of a sorvlce station. a a Bend plays Oregon Olty tomorrow for the mythical stats high school football championship, and, It Is generally agreed Oregon City will wish she hadn't.

The Bend team la Just as good as the Med ford squad, coached by Prink Oalllaon. that smacked Salem SO to 0, or some such outlandish score. The sad newa will be at hand, before the upstat scribblers can think up further argument. To soothe their superficially wounded pride, your eorr. will send the editors of eacn of the dally papers of the capital city, a box of peara, wrapped and ripened.

Editorial Correspondence SAN LUIS OBISPO, November 22. At last soma sun. After two weeks of clouds and rain Old Sol was very welcome. Cheered on by the Carmel weather report of "continued fair" decided to take the new highway down the coast, instead of returning to Salinas and taking the old route via Paso Roblcs. Glad we did, a very beautiful journey up and down the mountain slopes on the edge of the sea. a a a Stopped for luncheon in Carmel at Mrs. H. C. EganS new sea shore "estate," now being occupied by her sister, Mrs. Leonard Carpenter and Mr. Carpenter who had as house guests Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Carpenter, who are also en route to Pasa dena, and Mr. and Mrs. Edward Burgess, Jr. As all the males as lemblcd attended dear old "Ilah-vud" at one time or another, a nice time was had by all (recalling if you will their alma mater defeated Vale the day before, by a score of 13 to 6.) No fooling football is a great game and we are terribly sorry the season is about over. What a wonderful thing it is that a mere UA.Mh, can bring such unadulterated joy to the Hearts of so miinv of the "older boys." And as one grows older the joys of life somehow grow fewer and farther between. (We trust felnte .lohnston, u. Itoberts the game that would be only This 'new highway from Carmel to San Luis Obispo, goes through virgin territory, for almost incredible doesn't it, in the great and surer modern state of California 1 But all this distance there isn't a town or a village, or a fishing camp, and scarcely a human habitation, just a wilderness of rocks and sea, and a few stunted redwoods near the Big Sur. It is natural enough of course for there arc no rivers, no harbors, and with the mountains as a barrier on one side and the Pacific ocean on the other, no reason for anyone to have settled there. And they didn't, except for a few Spanish conquistadores, who let their longhorns perhaps, graze up and down the storm swept shore, while they built their haciendas inland somewhere. But it won't be long now, everyone goes sooner or later. They are already running a motor stage a day on this Highway No. 1, and not far in the future say 10 or 20 years, there will undoubtedly be a string of motor camps and hot dog all the way from Carmel by the Sea to ban Ljus Obispo, with hotels and winter homes in between. . a a . a San Luis Obispo what an most imposing of the millions state of California. The Spaniards didn t stay here very long soon went the way of Poor Lo but they left their mark cer tainly on the nomenclature and the architecture. But while Snn Luis Obispo souuds imposing and romantic we can't say so much for it. No doubt we do the place an injustice, but at a one night stand what can a motorist do but judge the place by where ho stays and the people he sees. We stopped at the Anderson hotel, because it looked like the best one in the place, and wo walked from there to the movie theatre and back again. but .more certainly it could be the schoolniams were really to a convention when we drove in. In fnct the somewhat dessicat ed clerk first, told us he could give us nothing, if we had no reservation. But he finally fished around on the chart and decided he could find us a place to lay our weary editorial head, if we would promise to beat it no later than ten the next morning. As a matter of fact wc had intended to leave no later than 8:!10 but didn't like the idea of a hotel clerk telling us when we MUST leave. After all the room was ours, according to the California hotel statutes until 5 p. m. the following day. So that didn't give us a good start, and when we saw the room, wc thought less of San Luis Obispo than ever, the bath was a clothes closet made over, and they left all the shelves and hooks and woodwork in. Finally the dining room, rather the restaurant next door was so full of school mams, that we couldn't get a scat at a table and had to mount one of those elevated stools at the lunch counter, with nothing to annnnrt the hack. which might have been OK twenty years ago or even ten. but NOT when Hearing the three-score and after a hard drivo over 150 miles of sea shore and mountain road! Then the movie was no its name. and the bovs and and out all looked like, oh well why go into that! The long and tlie short of it all is that if a place wishes to make a good impression upon a oiisunl passerby, they should see to it thev have a good hotel, anil when a schoolman! 'a convention We almost overlooked the trip. One passes Sun Simeon, William Kantlolnb Hearst. Wo setting the other side of the Pacific. and gilding the low lying banks of fog on the distant edge of the horizon. We knew we would pass the Hearst place when we left Carmel, but anxious to reach San Luis if possible belore dam, we were stepping on her a bit at the moment, and when we first glimpsed this sun tinted cnstle on Ihe distant mountain top to the loft, we thought It whs a bar room painting by Max Parrish, rather than anything real. In fact it gave us a tremendous thrill and a. shock. For several nionients'wc stared in blank-amazement and no doubt the editorial jaw dropped, several inches before it came over us Hint we hail really reached San Simeon, and this was the favorite abode of the great American journalist nil ahem Marion Davjes and other of his favorites. Much ss we disliked to take the lime we pushed on the brakes and came to a slop before we had passed the gate. Driving up to it however we found the gate looked and a sign reading something like this: "Sightseers not allowed on the hill, no passes given out so don't ask for them." The sign was dim and w-CHlher-benten and must have been hung out many years Hgo, no doubt about the time William's heart started to beat so feelingly for the underprivileged and a fairer distribution of weath !

NUTRITION AND Otoscleroala a .growth of spongy bone In and about the hammer, an vil and atlrrup'in the middle ear, producing progressive deafness which first develops, as a rule, after the Individ ual has attained adult age. The condi tion runs In fam ilies. Based ox extensive s tat Is tics the follow ing advice has been given re, gardlng this type of deafness: Under all cir cumstances It Is exceedingly dan gerous to marry a blood relative, no matter whether the relative la deaf or hearing, nor whether the deafness of either or both or neither of the part ners is congenital, nor whether either or both or neither have other deaf relatives besides the other partner. That advice applies as well In re spect to deaf -mutism as to otoscler osis. Either condition may be recess ive, that Is, hidden, not manifest In some of the children of a deaf or deaf-mute parent, but still be passed down in dominant or manifest form to the next generation. So far I have given the prevailing scientific view of otosclerosis or pro gressive deafness. There Is no abso lute proof that It la Inherited, but Just a belief based on the frequent occurrence of the condition In two or more generations of the family. Now this may be perfectly sound reason ing so far as deaf-mutism Is concern ed. But when you apply It to otos clerosis It seems pretty frail, for it falls to account for the first thirty or forty years of normal hearing, in the history of many of these cases of otosclerosis. It raises the question whether some nutritional deficiency may not "be the essential factor, rath er than an Inherited defect. In about one-third of the cases of otosclerosis, along with the slowly In creasing deafness, patients complain of vertigo or dizziness and of tinn itus or head noises. There Is no In flammation or infection of the ear. The best otologists hold that the less local treatment of the ears the bet ter. Of course, this does not mean that patlenta may not use whatever hearing devices they prefer. Some victims of otosclerosis have Sullivan likes to scurry up Parnassus when nobody is looking, too. Poetry appreciation begins like so many good things for most people at 40, Before that time much of the poetry, save for a few saltier classics of the barrooms when one Is a bit maudlin, bored me no end. I dont' recall owning a single book of verse. Yet In the past ten years I have read dozens of the poets, old and new. and the majority of my book purchases have been those of poems. Among the most wmeiy traveled married couples In America are the Watteraon Rothackers, who divide their time when In this country large ly between New York and Hollywood. Rothacker. as originator of a filming process In the early days of motion pictures, retired, sensible fellow, be fore reaching 40. His first gesture was to see the world, which he has with his wife circled many times. Since that first swing they have trav eled to out-of-way nooks left largely to those who exploit sight-seeing In the travelogues. The young George Vanderbllts with a $300,000 yearly income, have also become thorough-going travelers among the American youngsters. He had made several Journeys Into the Jungle of Africa and Borneo with selenttflc expeditions before his re cent marriage. For a honeymoon trip he took his bride around the world, and slj.ee then their time Is spent studying maps for new ptr,cea to see on the world's outer rim. I mosey over to Grand Central now and then, Just to watch a crack train pull out. Several gatemen know I'm a "train nut" and wave me through. There's no transportation thrill to me like the conductor's cry of 'Board I" the convulsive Jerk and strain of a train getting Into motion for it glide off into the fathoms of darkness, the tall-Ught gleaming red. Airplane travel la exciting, but only tn the takeoff and landing. A liner voyage Is the same ciUbe." after a few hours only the monotony of vast expanse of water. There's no time on a train when a traveler cunnot look out -the window and feel the thrill of adventure. In clearing away old paper today I came upon a memorandum trom Ray Long, a great editor, dated Jxine 5. 1023, and worth repeating as a guide post to young writer. It reads: "That expert critic I told you nbout says, 'Don't let Mclntyre become a pessimist. Let him reserve bitter ness for h la con tern pora rl ea.

OTOSCLEROSIS apparently experienced considerable Improvement from an optimal dally ration of the apocryphal vitamin A, In cod liver oil or other fish liver oil, or In such natural foods as raw fresh milk, cream, butter, egg yolk, carrots, watercress, escarole, oranges, bananas, liver, etc. I say apocryphal, because that's what I believe about vitamin A. In my opinion all of the effect attributed to the apocryphal vitamin A may In fact be ascribed to the real vitamin D (which was for-, merly confused with A and named vitamin A). Not that the apocryphal vitamin can do any harm, but If I. had otosclerosis I wouldn't fash my self at all about.lt; Instead I'd make sure to get about 6,000 to 10,000 units or vitamin D dally, to promote nor mal calcium and phosphorus metab olism.

Add tSOO.OOO.OOO extra WPA appro priation to the already predicted def icit of 1695,000. 000, and you have a deficit total of $885,000,000. without allowing for any other deficiency ap propriations at the special or regular session and without counting in the revenue drop which can certainly be expected.

THIS dispatch appears on the news pages on Thursday: "The third General Motors sit down strike In three days threw 17, 500 workers into Idleness at fontiac (Michigan) today and the local plant Of the Fisher Body company again was held by strikers." 1 TURN to the financial pages on the same day, and you will flnd'tms paragraph In a New York nispatcn: "Labor troubles and other ami cultles In the automobile industry affected the stock market today ana averages edged closer to the low levels of October." When labor troubles flare up, business prospects go down. (The stock market Is an excellent barometer of business prospects, be cause when people regard prospects as good they want to buy and when they think the outlook is bad tney want to sell. When there are more sellers than buyers prices go down, and when there are more buyers than sellers prices go up.) 4 IP all the country's labor troubles could be settled on a fair oasis and If somebody could guarantee that they would REMAIN settled tor a couple of years, all this pessimis tic talk of business recession wouia be succeeded by hopeful talk oi good times, I QENATOR BTEIWER, returning to ' O Washington, savs that business S men feel that a balanced budget is I more necessary than anything else i , ... .

It reports: "Unless there is med ical evidence to show that the case does not fall within the hereditary class, a blind person contemplating marriage should seek the advice of a competent ophthalmologist before marriage. In view of the complex nature of the problem and the seri ous handicaps Imposed upon the chil dren of persons suffering from in herited eye disease, the ophthalmol ogist will no doubt obtain a pedi gree and. If necessary, consult a ge netic expert." Thus, little by little, group after group is coming to comprehend that much disease can be eliminated by the application of the principles of eugenics to the control of disease. One hundred forty million new live under eugenic laws. Their un desirables are being eliminated by sterilization. The birthrate of their high powers, simultaneously. Is be ing accelerated.

Recently I came across it among some fam ily papers. May Jordan Mac Don ough.) (With Apologies to Macro Bozzarts) By starlight, on the garden fence, Bronze turkey's dreams were of the hour When geese, with necks in terror bent, Before her eye should cower; In dreams, through field and lsne she tore. The favorite of Sir Oobelour. In dreams her notes of triumph heard: Then laid her speckled eggs spring: Then hatched her brood, each cal low thing: As gar her thoughts and light of wing As bantam barnyard bird. At midnight. In the kitchen shed. The farmer ranged his hayseed band. Dull as the rust on their own blades, Calloused In heart and hand. Here had their predecessors stood On each recurring night of blood. That leads Thanksgiving Day. Here, breathing deep the thickening air. And guzzling cider, strong and rare. with heavy mien and vacant stare, They wait the word to slay. The hours passed on, Bronze Turkey woke: That bright dream was her last. She woke to hear the gobbler shriek, "Take wlngl 'Tls herel Thanksgiving week"' ; She woke to die midst brimstone smoke And Jack-kntfe stab and hatchet stroke And missiles flying thick and fast. Like brickbats In a Fenian crowd. And heard, with voice as foghorn loud. The farmer urge his band: "Strike! till the last fat turk ex pires; Strike! for the bright Thanksgiving fires; Strike! for the feast day of your sires. Pride of your native land." They slashed like fiends let loose from hell They piled the yard with turkeys slain. And last of all Bronze Turkey fell, With severed Jug'lar vein. Not one surviving turkey saw Her quiver, gasp, and wave her claw When the dark deed was done; Nor saw. In death, her eyelids close When she turned up her little toes. Which never more might run. Come to the Incubator, Death I Come to the brooder, when it feels Tho new brood's palpitating breatn; Come when the blessed seals Which bottle up the roup, are broke. And crowded hencoops wall Its stroke. Come In the cholera's loathsome form, The cyclone's shock, the blizzard's storm; Come when our hearts beat hign and warm With hopes for poultry, bred tn line; And thou art dreadt Our neighbors jeer. The silent curse, the furtive tear. And all we fanciers know or fear Of loss and woe, are thine. But to the turkey when her blood Donates a dinner to the free. Thy voice sounds ltke prophetic word, And tn Its echoing tones Is heard The tread of feast days on the road, Million Thanksgivings yet to be. Bronze Turkey, though thou wast not brave. Wc love thee In thy tender prime. Roast thou there Is no warmer grave Even in our own warm clime. We view thy doom without a sigh. While browning o'er the oven's flame; For turkeys, by whatever name.
