The arrastrs stood near the crumbling rcmalna of a srusii furnace In which the ailver ore was treated before being put into tne grinding unit. Clusiiit time foi Poo Late to Ciaa Uj Ad I I M p. a Is "Regimentation " Imperative? -fiERE are two sides to evsry question, including the farm problem. Senator Borah, yesterday, with customary elo quence, gave one of them. Said he:. ' "It la national suicide to reduce crops when there are mil lions of hungry and needy pei ions In the country. w are facing a winter In which mllllona of children will be ker-v out of school, because they do not have sufficient food and clothes. And tbe best we can do Is fix up this bill, which will . restrict agricultural production while 50 of the people do not have all they need to eatr That'. ONE side. Here ia the other side. We live under the capitalistic system, which is a profit system. Under it, no industry, including agriculture, can endure, which doesn't make a profit.. That profit is determined, by the law of supply and demand. And demand is limited by purchasing power, which in turn ia determined by profits. If nothing is done to restrict acreage, that is reduce the supply, then there will be no waj to prevent a surplus, supply will exceed the purchasable demand, and the commod ity concerned will become "a drug upon the market," while those engaged in producing it, unable to make a profit, will go broke, unless the government, or some other agency steps in, and subsidizes them. Therefore we have those who favor a farm subsidy j and those who favor the restriction of acreage ;.; and those who like Senator Borah, condemn the latter, but offer no. workable alternative to it. , KTOW no one questions, that this eountry, is capable of pro- ' ducing all the food and clothing, warmth and shelter, that ita population needs. -Eliminate the profit element, turn over all our land, and factories and resources, to the government for operation and free distribution, and none of our 125 mil liona would be in want. . But that would be communism, or- socialism, they differ in degree, rather than in general character. And of course Senator Borah, and those who so bitterly oppose the theory of scarcity, would never sanction anything like that. In fact they oppose communism even more uncompromisingly than they do regimentation. And yet, as time goes on, that if some form or regimentation, some definite economic plan, is not adopted, some form of socialism will be. This is the irrepressible conflict, and day by day, we are coming nearer and nearer to the inevitable Arraegeddon. . S ' WE are not saying the proposed farm bill is right, nor are we saying that the forms of regimentation proposed, are the proper solutions of the problem. But we ARE saying, that unless SOME form of regimentation is adopted, some eoonomic plan ia devised, which will make democratic capitalism WORK, produce that degree of general well being, under the profit system, which can be secured by ita elimination, then nothing can prevent this country the way of Italy and Germany, probably the latter. And that is what the Roosevelt administration is trying to prevent by making the capitalistic system WORK. Its program still is, as it has been from the outset, a system of trial and error; but unless this effort succeeds, unless the present system, can be so readjusted and regulated, that it will bring security and general contentment to the people ALL the people then sooner or later, the people are going to demand, some OTHER. THIS ia bo obvious, that it is nnrf lnulnrlv thrtfie u-Vin hotel , " ' ...... tation are able to see it. ' No one LIKES regimentation. on personal liberty, whether they apply to agriculture, manu facturing, motoring, morals or sports. We would all like to return to the good old days, when rugged individualism was in flower, and we lived in the richest country in the world that was only 20 developed, but that can't be done. Whether we like it or don't, those good old days are gone, never to return. And what we must do today, The plain truth is capitalism, form, faces a supreme crisis. Perhaps the developments in this country, during the next few years, will finally determine ita fate. President Roosevelt is doing, doing, everything in his power to Hie position toward our American form of government, has been very similar to the position of Abraham Lincoln, shortly after the outbreak of the civil war, toward the union. President Lincoln was for the time. If be could save it by abolishing slavery he was for doing that, if he could save it by retaining slavery he was for that) he was for everything or anything that would save the union and keep this a united eountry. SO with President Roosevelt. If turning to the left would nreartrve ntir form nf cot-eminent ha trnn for that if turn. ing to the right (which he hai to the same end, then to the everything or anything that at any given time promises to preserve our form of democracy, and protect it against the forces that threaten its destruction.

He may fail. But this, as wc see it, is certain: Those who, like Senator Borah, cry out against regimentation, centralization a definite economic plan, as threats to American institutions and contrary to its traditions: and at THE SAME TIME, profess their detestation of com miinisiu, are like passengers on on the rocks, crying to the captain to save them but condemn ing him for enforcing discipline, among them, and the crew.

THE BRIDE'S HEALTH CERTIFICATE A long time ao I wrote an article entitled "The Bridegroom's Health Certificate." It was published May U, 1914. In that article J dared to Of course It It lmpoa alble to present accurate statistics bearing upon the preva lence of venereal diseases In men I remember how I took deep breath right there and plung ed recklessly on . . . . . . but a con serve tlve esti mate U that at least one out of every three men acquires gonorrhea or sy philis beiore marriage, and a large percentage of these Infected men, transmit the disease to their innocent wves after marriage. It would be Interesting, now, to know whether that was printed as I wrote It. I failed to preserve copies of newspapers of that date. Has any present reader by any chance a copy of the paper containing that article? I'd be grateful for a chance to see It. I remember also the reaction to the article. A good many readers main tained that what was sauce for the gander U sauce for the goose; they Insisted the same requirement should apply to the prospective bride. But 1 was a bit old-fashioned and so I clung to the belief that the double standard of morals placed the onus on the man and excused the woman from submitting to a medical exam ination and furnishing a physician's certificate as evidence of freedom from communicable disease. - The legislation concerning the mat ter, however, seems to disregard any such chivalrous consideration. It re quires a health certificate from both parties when they apply for a license to marry. Commenting on this, In a personal letter and by the way, a doctor prac ticing !n a metropolitan mld-wearern community says: "We have a law here requiring ev ery applicant for a marriage lice rue to undergo an examination and pre sent to the license clerk a certificate from an acceptable laboratory set ting forth that the applicant is free from gonorrhea and syphilis. I think that la a good thing. However. I learned long ago that one slide report ed "negative," especially In the case of a female gonorrhea suspect, merely means that no gonococcl were found In that particular slide, but ts no proof that the suspect la free from O.O.Mclntyre NEW YORK.

D. gonorrhea, 1 believe that chronic gonorrheal Infection In a woman can be ruled out only by repeated slides, and finally by a culture. Of course a fresh Infection offers little difficulty, but after all It Is largely a farce to give such a scientific on the basis of a single slide that happens to be "negative." I dont believe one In a hundred of the certificates of "free dom from gonorrhea and syphilis" that are Issued are properly Issued. Nevertheless. I believe the principle Is a good one, altho the law may have to be modified eventually." That view of the matter will be shared by most competent physicians. I think. - In twenty-three years, as many readers will be pleased to know, my attitude has abated preceptlbly and I now believe the bride, too, requires a health certificate. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ( The lodln Ration A year ago I began taking an lodln ration as suggested by you. Proof of the benefit I have derived from it la In my Increased weight (I am nearly normal now), better appetite, greater working powers. However, my physi cian, tells me I read too much Brady, and that the human system can't stand that much lodln. (M. K.) Answer As Auntie Blnnell used to tell me when I was an erudite soph omore "You" know more when you get older." Many doctors apparently have not yet heard of the experiment carried out In Michigan and other mid-west states where the health and medical authorities have promoted the universal use of an lodln ration in the form of Iodized salt In place of ordinary salt. Instructions for tak Ing an lodln ration will be mailed on j request to any correspondent who in' closes stamped envelope bearing his correct address. Come on, now. quit calling your home town "City" or "Local". You needn't be ashamed to write the name of your village on the envelope. There are worse places to live. The hamper where undellverable letters go Is overflowing. Insulin to Protamine Insulin la there any danger of Insulin shock In changing from Insulin to prota mine Insulin? (E. L.) Answer Yes. One with diabetes should not attempt to change without the supervision of the physician for a few days, until the right doses and Interval can be determined. Copyright 1937, John F. Dille Co. Ed.

ONI of Oregon's moat Interesting (and probably MOST novel) WPA project la Tlmberllne Lodge, located at tbe edge of the timber and Just below the perpetual snowline on the south side of Mount Hood. It Is about six miles from the Mount Hood loop highway, and the road by which It Is reached takes off a short distance west of the Junc tion with the Wapinltla cut-off by which the people of Southeastern Oregon reach Portland. TIMBER LINE Lodge, It will be remembered, was dedicated by President Rooeevelt when he visited Bonneville this fall. The furnishings used for the dedication were hauled up from Portland and taken back the next day. The building is still under construction, and probably won't be finished much before spring. TIMBERLINE Lodge, when com pleted and furnished, will cost, along with the alx-mlle road by which It la reached, about a million dollars. It will be built and furnished wholly by WPA labor. The building haa been made on the ground out of native materials from the Imme diate vicinity, and the furnishings are being made by hand In the WPA shop projects In Portland. Even the curtains have been woven by hand by WPA workers and they are really beautiful. The lighting fix tures have been made by hand In the WPA shoo nrolecta. - And thev. too, are attractive and appropriate. There la much wood carving, done by WPA workers. all THE building, designed by a forest service architect, ia huge and Impressive and original. And It la friendly and homelike, too. When you see it, you'll like the Interior you can't help It. It has Its own lighting system and Ita own heating system. Ita prize piece la a vast chimney, going up through three floors, with three fire places grouped around It on each floor. This chimney, the attendant tells you, weighs 600 tons. It Is made of native lava rock. AND the view well, that cant be described. To the north, almost within touching distance, Is the snowy bulk of Mount Hood s sum mit, To the south ia a tumbled mass of mountains, ending In Jefferson and the Three Sisters. At the lodge, you're clear up above this wilderness of greater and lesser peaks, and look down on It. (Of course you don't actually look down on the summits of Jefferson and the Sisters, but ydu SEEM to. At tlmberllne on Mount Hood, you're really up In the air.) AT Tlmberllne Lodge, there will be accommodations for all kinds of purses, from ritzy suites with bath rooms and fireplaces down to dormi torles with bunks, where the most modest of skiers can find lodgings within their reach. (Tlmberllne Lodge is to be pri marily winter sports heaven Win ter sports, you know, are taking the world by storm, and If you don't ski you might as well come right out and admit that you're a hopeless back number.) THE lodee. when completed, will be turned over to the forest service, and the foreat service will lease It to a private operator, mucb aa the botel concessions at the national nn-v. K narV eur-vr limoernne uoagc is a grana sta ture, and of course a lot of wild tales are going around about It. It Is said that It la so magnificent that no operator can ever be found who can make a go of It. Thla writer, for one, would like to reserve Judgment on that point. It Is a beautiful building. In an awe inspiring spot, and the modern world la nutty about winter sports. It might knock the spots off of sun Valley, which has ben about the hottest spot In the Wt of late If you can apply the word "hot" to a winter sports location. ANYWAY, the first time you're going past, stop and take a look at It. Maybe It's white elephant. But If you don't come awsy im pressed and a little bit subdued by the beauty of a really unique build ing In an awesome location, come around and collect a bt off of this writer.

The spectators aeemed favorably impressed by this process of preserving fresh food. , . The exhibit was the culmination of the fi2nd annual meeting of the Oregon State Horticultural society, held Thursday and Friday In the Elks temple. The meeting was declared to be one of the most Interesting and enlightening ever held by the society and the committee In charge were complimented for the program they had arranged. The frozen foods exhibit was In charge of H. Campbell of the United States frozen foods laboratory in Se attle, where test and experiments are conducted In thla relatively new method of preserving foods In their original freshness. Berries, fruits and vegetables were exhibited and sampled. So many persons attended the display that moat of the commodities were soon consumed. Mr. Campbell explained the process of preserving fresh foods hrough freezing, and answered questions per taining to the method and how It can be used in the home. Mr. Campbell said that although the process la relatively new, It Is rapidly achieving a wide use. Fresh foods are being preserved by -this process now not only by commercial companies but also by home-makers, he said. The time la not far distant when frozen foods will be a common commodity tn stores and homes, he Indicated, adding that a freezing ma chine for use In the home is already on the market. Where the home machine ia not available, the foods may be processed at cold storage plants, be said. Chester Fitch was general chair man for the two-day meeting. Com mittees were: Marketing.

We are not Inquiring concerning the number of men, ahlps or planes, but aa to what Influencea are brought to bear on them that would affect their attitude toward Uncle Sam? The press keeps us more or less Informed concerning the Influences at work In the armies of Spain, China, Italy, etc., but maintains com plete alienee concerning our own army and navy. No proper military secrete are de sired: Simply facta that every Amer lean citizen haa a right to know. Is the soldier boy being . trained In the traditional, patriotic attitude toward our flag, and those things it haa always stood for, or propagandized with alien theorlee, quite the reverae? We know that all democracies are now aeethlng with radical propa ganda. Democratic liberty la the radical's clover field. In other land, we see the radlcala making desperate attempts to gain control of the mili tary forces. Are they making the same desperate attempts In our own army end navy? if the publlo knew, public opinion might effectively ex press Itaelf. We also know, that as one of Ita first acts, the new deal regime baa tened to recognise Soviet Russia, the fountain head of radicalism, welcom ing to thla country a host of Soviet offlclela and propagandists. We further know that radical unlonlam. la now given more and more liberty and power, regardless of the rights of Invested capital, and of a long-suffering public, and that Bridges, Browder and such, eeem given a free hand at factories, mines, camps and locks. Who can belleva that an administration so friendly to radicalism In all other fields, would effectively antagonize It In the army and navy? Why raUe thla question? Well. If, and when, the radicals feel strong enough to stage a general uprising, a coup-de'tat, to seize power and Junk liberty, what would our army and navy do about It? Would they try to crush a well organized, nation wide revolt, to defend principles al ready openly rldlculea or would they back the revolt and crush any counter-revolution?
