Former President Hoover holds "moral recession In government" confounds thin land. Thia may be the start of national campmeetlngs every four years, Instead of political conventions. e e e Registration figures for the com ing primary show Multnomah county (Portland) definitely democratic, or worse, as many suspect, e e Ray fever cures are showing up ta drugstore windows. It la also time for voters to come down with straw ballots. I e e e OTHER CHEEK TURNED ' (Emporia (Kan.) Gazette) 'Older residents down this way can well remember when the shouting evangelist In Neosho Rapids was greeted with a bar rage of overripe tomatoes and eggs that rattled In their shells. The preacher. In his departing sermon, remarked that there was Just one difference between Neo sho Rapids and hell there were i few trees In the Rapids." e e e WPA workers, In several states, have been discharged for political activity. Voters complain they were leaned upon, Instead of slapped on the back. e e e Observers report the hardier round ers are swigging liquid flame these days by mixing wlno, beer, and an aspirin tablet. While not Immediately fatal, It might bb well be. e More school children have been located who read upside down. Juve nile autolsts are still endeavoring to drive upside down, but can't quite make It. e e e The eky cleared, giving hope the Queen of the May will not have to pack an umbrella, at least, not one made of cellophane. e An Initiative bill providing for a 1 -house legislature, has been filed at 8alcm. Under the measure, the legislature would consist of fewer members, but last longer and cost more than the present agony. The advantage to be gained is not vis ible to the nnked eye. "Lost A tan cut. all black except four white hnlrs on chest. Tel. 5027J" (White Plains News) Somebody's color blind. MISTAKES WILL HAPPEN (Parsons (linn.) Times) "The other night a Parsons citizen pultrd a revolver from under his pillow and balzed away at what he thought was a burglar In the room. Investiga tion proved that he had shot a bole through his own trousers hanging, on a chair. All that saved him from killing himself was that he hart removed his trouseri when he went to bed." The poet-laureate of Texas has been named the "American Mother of 1038." The mother of Jackie Coogan, and defendant In a suit to force her to let loose of his for tune, garnered as a boy film star, entered too late to provide much competition. The visit of Henry Ford to the White House "caused recovery argu ments to go bnck nnd forth." Closer Investigation win reveal an up-and-down movement. e SOP Oh thou pliable s.ibs'.ance, made Of Esters and saltn of the earth: Diseases tremble he fore your raid Because you remove the dirt. To measure for people their civili sation Check the water and vp uned In one combination. And paitrurlzntlnn nnd sterilization Are useltM without soapy clarifica tion. (Am. Med. Jnl.) Some 50.000 beauty shops In the United Btatrs do a business of more than $100.000003 early and produc tion of American coametlca la 300, 000,000 each year. A Foolish Alibi X7E ar In receipt of a clipping from a labor periodical de " daring the "goon" convictions in Oregon have been "frame-ups." ' Such a charge is to be expected. It is the inevitable alibi of the guilty when convicted. ; ' But the writer of this particular article, fails to mention an important fact. A. N. Banks sentenced yesterday to s 12 year term in prison, started the kick off in these sensational disclosures. ' He was not convicted by the testimony of someone else, he convicted himself. And he also furnished evidence that brought about the conviction and confession, of many of his co-workers. It is rather difficult to believe the secretary of the Salem teamsters union "framed" himself, to the tune of 12 years in the "big house." Or "framed" hia associates! m v BUT we have no doubt this alibi will be used pretty generally in radical labor circles, particularly outside the boundaries of Oregon, where the facts are not well known. The striking fact about these goon convictions indeed, has been the absence of all reasonable doubt regarding the guilt of the convicted parties. For Banks was not the only labor racke teer to confess. There were many who followed his example and all the convictions practically were the result not of stool pigeons or employee detectives, but of testimony from union members, in good standing themselves. IT has been a beneficent clean-up, not only for the state, but for organized labor itself. It will not only mean freedom for honest business in Oregon, it will mean freedom for the honest and self respecting workers, who have had to pay tribute to the strong arm squad, and bow to their dictation quite as much as have their employers.. Good News for Jumbo TTTTLI; political history repeat Looks that way, if the La Follette boys make good their threat to lead a "Third party" in 1940, only it will be with reverse English. That is, when Colonel Roosevelt in 1912 led- a Third rartv he elected a DEMOCRAT. If the La Follette boys lead a Third party, they will elect a REPUBLICAN. -' For such a Third party would be a Labor party, further to the left than the Democratic party under President Roosevelt. This would split the Liberal vote, and the Conservatives, who are getting more numerous and more united every day, would win as easily as Woodrow Wilson did, quarter of a century ago. SO in their desire to slap Franklin, the La Follette lads, will put their arch enemies back in power, as the late T. R. in his desire to slap his former pal, Wm. Howard Taft, had to endure a Democratic reign under "Woodrow Wilson for EIGHT long years. From a realistio standpoint therefore, this determination on the part of the Wisconsin twins to form a new party, doesn't look so bright. But it is in accordance with certain strong elements in human nature, which were incorporated in a fable by Mr. Aesop many years ago. Henry Ford Is Right "N0N'T shoot the piano player, he is doing the best he can." This appears to be a reasonably accurate paraphrase, of Henry Ford 's comment upon the President of the United States, following his recent White House "tete a tete." And it shows our leading billionaire's essentially kindly heart. For the Roosevelt policies must be anathema to our country's foremost rugged individualist, yet he neither accuses the President of being a Benedict Arnold, Judas Iscariot or mod ern Samson seeking to tear down the temple of democracy. In other words he Bpeaks with respect and restraint, even though be probably can't APPROVE of the policies and princi ples now emanating from the White House. TOO bad the spokesmen for Big Business in this country, as a whole, don't follow Henry's example. For say what you will about over-production, taxes, high prices and other conventional causes of the present recession, the great underlying trouble at the present time, comes under the heading of a wrong attitude of mind. All over the country today there is too much heat, and too little light; too much suspicion, too little faith; too much temper and too little thought. We don't deny the fault has been on both sides. But we are certain that nothing would do the country and business more good, at the present time, than the adoption on the part of the socallcd economic royalists, of Henry Ford's simple philosophy: "Don't shoot the piano player, he is doing the best he can." In other words, oppose the policies of the President as vigor ously as you wish if you believe them wrong, but eliminate the element of personal hatred and abuse. Have the wisdom, and tolerance to grant, that however mistakeu the President may be, you don't question his good intentions, his integrity, or his overwhelming desire, to do the best he can do, for the country, and all the people in it. Comparatively a small thing. merely one attitude replaced by another but it well might bring about the miracle everyone is praying for, the immediate termination of the tail spin, and the easing out of the ship of state on an even keel I Communications Ye Ad Pos Oets tinaquet.

Mu com membrane lines every cavity or opening that communi catea with the outside world. More recently ca tarrh haa signi fied particularly 1 n f l & m m a tlon of the mu cous membrane lining the naaa passages, chronic rhinitis. Causes of slm pie ctironlc rhi nitis are (1) living In overheated, ex cessively dried out atmosphere In doors most of the time; (2) over eating of refined food too large a proportion of the calorie yielded by pure starches and sugars, yet diet usually deficient In minerals and vi tamins which have been demoved or destroyed In process of refining nat ural food; (3) sedentary habit and the poor circulation accompanying It; (4) damage done by frequent Infec tion, due to popular credulity In ref erence to weather, drafts, dampness, sudden changes, and the like; (5) habit of wearing excessive clothing. In the winter time, when houses, offices, shops, oars, theaters and schools are artificially heated, the room temperature should be kept at 8 degrees P. If It Is permitted to go to 73 or 75 most persons are sure to be stuffy from abnormal congestion of the head, whether they realize It Is too warm or not. However heated, the winter air, containing a fair amount of water vapor, becomes dried out and If heated above 68 de grees It becomes drier than the driest desert air ever becomes naturally. In every instance, then, where artificial heating la necessary, the air anouia be conditioned by tSe evaporation of sufficient water to keep the humidity as nearly as practicable at the level of that of an Ideal autumn day 40 to B0 per cent. Generally this re quires the evaporation of at least 15 of 20 gallons of water dally In the air of an eight-room house. Air condi tioning equipment now mint in or Installed In modern buildings works automatically. In any circumstance a simple humidifier consisting of a galvanized metal reservoir holding a few gallons of water In which hang msny folds of aDsoroeni wickihb looped over a wire frame above the water, may be placed on radiator or register In each room, and will evapo rate a gallon or two of water dally. Ordinary vessels of water on radia tors, registers or stoves, and ordinary water pots In furnaces, do not evapo rate enough water to 'matter. Per sons abnormally sensitive to chill or sense of discomfort from cold should remember that air of lo.tr else form, many of the animals, now extinct, that once Inhabited these vast expanses of Oregon many eons ago. When once mere was a irig.u climate, then later a tropical climate and later a temperate climate, and all of these repeated perhaps more than once In cycles, there was op portunity tor great variation of flora and fauna. In the coal formation age In this region there was a growth of vegetation that completely ante dated all that we know now. Known species that once lived here and which are now completely ex tinct for this region. Include masto don, broad-faced ox. three-toed norses. tapirs, saber-toothed tigers, hippo potamus. Oregon rhinoceros, and even camels and elephants. Condon's "Oregon Geology" gives considerable detail of the discoveries In the John Day valley of remains of the above, and description of their size and species. In view of a recent skeleton being exhibited today In the chamber of commerce, these facts may be of In terest aa a reminder. JOHN W. HOYT.

E OLD CATARRH relative humidity (35 to 55 per cent) at a temperature of 05 to 68 is more comfortable than air excessively dried out (relative humidity 10 per cent to 30 per cent) at a temperature of 73 to 75 degrees. Only one who has tried this can realize the economy and hygiene of conditioning the air to maintain the "comfort zone." Ev ery one knows how excessive aridity affects plants, furniture, book bind ings; mapy know how harsh and Irri table It makes the skin; few stop to consider that the extreme dryness of the heated air In the winter damages the delicate mucous membrane lin ing the respiratory tract. Here Is a prolific contributing cause of chronic catarrhal trouble as well as a predis posing factor of the crl. It accounts also for many of the abnormal re actions which uninformed or misin formed laymen so naively attribute to draft, dampness, wet feet, change of weather. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS This Is a Health Column If you will give me the names of several health specialists who can do so and so ... I am not flush with money and the fee will have to be low. ((R. D.

She Made Up Jler Husband's Mind Husband suffered frequently from small blood vessels breaking In his eye. It looked bad. I found out that the lining of the blood vessels was weakened by smoking. They broke once about two weeks after he stop ped smoking but never again. He never smoked until he was 30 and gave It up at 53. (Mrs. O. E. B.) Answer When a woman makes up her husband's mind he can do any thing. Tobacco addicts are more successful in breaking the habit If they supplement their diet with a good ration of vitamins. Send a stamped envelope bearing your ad dress and ask for instructions for overcoming the habit. Galvanic Sore Mouth Will the use of two different met als in dental fillings cause galvanic action? Will it lead to any serious harm such as cancer? (M. B.) Answer Cases of sore mouth, ob stinate ulcers, have been ascribed to the galvanic battery action set up by two dissimilar metals In acid saliva. Not cancer. Most economical and sat isfactory In long run to have all gold fillings, or porcelain. (Copyright. 1938. John P. Dille Co.)

Finally he went to his studio chief: "I can't stare into space and be happy. You get me out here on a rush assignment and I've been here for months without doing anything. I want an assignment. I warn a story to write." "Ah!" cried the executive, "why didn't you say so? But of course you are not happy. You must have an important story to write." So the executive went horn and thought about it and came back with a gleam of triumph In hla eyes. He said to Gabriel: "Now It Is all arranged. You are r write an Important story a mag nificent picture starring Yehudl Me nuhln. the prodigy, the great boy violinist, but there must be no love scenes in the picture. There must be a fat part in the story for Tos canlnl. the great Toscanlnl. What a picture! What box-office! Yhudi and Toscanlnl! Remember, now. no love interest for Yehudi. That is not perml t ted . But use your Imae'.na tlon. Write anything you like. Write a great story, a magnificent story Do you like this assignment?" "It la okay with me," replied Ga briel, "so long aa I am working. But It seems strange that a picture should be made without any love Interest whatsoever." "Nevertheless, there must be no love Interest." declared the executive "I'll go to work on this at once." Gabriel agreed. "When do you want It?" When do you plan to put this Into production?" "Oh," explained the producer, "I forgot to tell you. It wont go Into production. We couldn't get Yehudl and Toscanlnl would't come out here at any price. We really aren't going to make the picture at all. But It'c a swell idea for a story and you said you were unhappy because you had nothing to write. Now you can write and be happy as you like." This story was told your corre spondent by a writer who Is vaca tioning In New York. He Is undet contract to the same studio and he assurca me the story Is true. There la no reason to believe It Is not. TODAY'S TRAFFIC TIP- Did you slow down when you drove by whool?
