I'd often have to reply 'Poisonous I my left foot hurts, the lettuce never came up, Oamer needs to be spanked for not backing up Roosevelt, and I don't like the way you comb your hair'!" Local feminine hearts have the beat chance to pltty-pat and palpi tate in a long time. After three days of Nels Eddy, they get four days of Bob Taylor, at the O. Hunt magic lantern house. This Is fearless Jour nalism, but no offense is meant, to Eddy admirers by mentioning him In the nam, breath with Taylor, and vice versa. The need la strong for a perfect golfing day that might be dese crated by mowing the lawna. A candidate was noted Wed. smok ing a cigar In front of the power company. In the old daya he would have been accused of accepting a gratuity from a public utility, and not saving the water In Rogue River for the children's children. The visiting rich Britisher to Los Angeles who lost lao.ooo in a"stud" poker game, knew nothing shout the gsme. It Is now stated. The Astoria AHorlan Budget editorially surmises the experience "will teach this man to stay out of such gsmes." At any rate, It ought to teach him to stsy out of Lo, Angeles. .

Ml Sir VKRMI'K CATS "A music teacher In need .of pu pils, heard of two available If she threw a good spiel around their fond parent. She- went to the wealthy door. There, upon the door-mat, sat a flno yellow torn. Betty hated cats so vehemently that her musical ear could not detect their vocllerallon more furiously than her fingers Itched to grasp their talis. 80 she grasped this torn., tall and held him at arm's length, like an electrified cactus that could screech while pre vented from scratching. When the door opened, Betty ssld simply: Here's your eat!' And whst the prospective patron of her art Mid She alwa'ys maintained you got just what you were look injj for. Well the world is in a terrible mess at the present time, and has been for a couple of decades. And no doubt a group of realists would-say it was perfect flap doodle to claim one could find any good tidings in the world today, just because that happened to be the intention Yet it's true isn't it f One can look over the newspaper this bright morning at least, and find many things that are definitely cheering. T?OR example: This news about China. Admitting that war news from China sources hasn't been particularly reliable, and these re ports of smnihing victories should be discounted there seems to be no doubt, that the Japanese tradition of military invinci biljty has been knocked into a dish of chow mein. ' - Against anything like equal equipment and numbers, the Jap is no superman. Moreover when caught unawares or out numbered, he runs as fast as a biped of any other color. ' All of which is very cheering, and if sustained by future events, may do great good to the world, INCLUDING JAPAN FOR national pride and faith in it military and naval superi nrifv hns hpfin a InrcA factor in .Tnpflnese foreign nnlicv ever since the victorious war with Russia. It has produced a truculent imperialism, a cynical disregard for national honor, a passion for armed conquest. To have that myth exploded on the field of battle, can only! result in a radical modification of that policy, and make way for a policy of conciliation, moral reconstruction and peace, For say what you will when a nation or an individual becomes a worshipper of force, only a superior force, a good beating, can destroy that doctrine. It begins to look as though China with its inexhaustible man power would do just that. Or if not actually DEFEAT Japan at least demonstrate to all the world, that Japan can not con quer China, and without such a conquest her desired hegemony in the Far East can't be maintained. .... ... ""PHIS column has no particular dislike Of Japan or love for 1 China. Wo see good and bad in both nations. But in this particular jnstanco we believe China is entirely right ond Japan entirely wrong. So it is cheering to read the war reports at this time, and see increasing evidence that the right is winning over might, on the other side of the world. A Sane Liberalism Looms THERE is unother cheering feature to be found in a more 'complete report of that new La Follctte party, which has come to this desk. i , The wive report, received by this paper at least, gave a very hn.y and incomplete picture of the set-up. For in its detailed summary the Governor of Wisconsin appears to have taken a leaf from the note book of our own General Martin, in two extremely important particulars. Ho does not hesitate to condemn "organized labor for a num ber of tilings, strong-arm tactics of course, but also attempting to boost wages to uneconomic levels, and paralyze commerce by interunion conflict. And he refuses to truckle to farm organiza tions when he believes them wrong. He regards thoir demand for special subsidies us economically wrong, for example.

GIVE Tilt: HA BV A BREAK Here Is a typical query which many young fathers should take to heart What do you think about having an eight months old baby alt listen ing to radio pro gram eve n 1 n g a after hla daddy cornea home? It amuses daddy, so he thlnka It la all right. School children seem to be very nervous these daya, hands always moving and legs shuffl ing and shaking. Don't you think babies should be In beo early and kept as quiet aa possible? (Mrs. 8. L.) Anyway it la encouraging to know that a young father likes to come home to be with his baby In the evening. Too many young fathers nowadays prefer to get out as many nights as possible, to enjoy their booze, gambling and other Indul gences too painful to mention, while the unhappy young wife and mother sticks right on the endless Job as me dutiful slave of her master. What la needed In this too free country Is wnipping post ior husbands and fathers who are mentally and morally too cnnaish to comprehend a man's responsibility. And a kind of medical court or Judicial commission to order steel spurs on the lashes for hus bands who have Infected their wives with gonorrhea the usual cause of mutilating operations a year or so after the birth of the only child: the usual cause of one-child sterility. Husbands who have married without premarital medical examination and a certificate of freedom from communicable disease, deserve fitting pumsnment ror this crime. Yes. Mrs. S. L. Ie right, a baby under a year of age should be abed every day without fall by 6 p.m. and should not be disturbed by unneces ary noise wr excitement after that time of night. It Is not necessary or even advlsab'e to attempt to hush hush ordinary household noises or; activities a normal baby should not I be disturbed by ordinary noises. But even If daddy must forego the Joy I of an hour with the baby at that time, he surely will not mind it when he knows It la harmful to the baby to be up and awake at such a late hour. Daddy should contrive to get his hour with the baby In the morning when the baby should normally be awake and mildly Inter ested in Daddy's antics. After the age of one year a baby may be allowed to be up until as late as 6 p. m.. but never later than that. Up to the age of three years, 6 p.m. la zero hour for every well loved, we 11 -cared -for baby. ' Babies should sleep Id to 18 hours out of the twenty-four In the first six months; 14 to 15 hours at the age of one year (II to 13 hours at night, 3 or 8 hours In two naps In the daytime.) At 2 years of age, 13 to 14 hours sleep may be enough. white cat, and the girl. In her place waa a salesman who smoked big ci gars. Then he waa gone and some one else earns. It la like that every day. And to maybe It la a good thing that we are moving to a new office soon. In any event, canaries won't keep getting In my hair. And be sides It may be better for my eyes. Some of the boys tell me I am de veloping a squint. 4 Comment on the Day's News QUESTIONS AN1 ANSWERS Mlrrophobls , Do you consider It dangerous to use telephones In large offices where a great many persons use the phones? II so. would It be advisable to hate the mouth-piece and receiver washed with a disinfectant solution every day? (C. W.) Answer No. When telephone In struments are to be cleaned plain soap and water la as effective as any aistnrectant or germicide can be. Prevention of Scar Four months ago daughter suffered lacerations about- cheek In an auto mobile accident. Eight stitches were taken Immediately. The wounds are healed now but have left bad By FRANK JENKINS ATTORNEYS for Jackie Coogan's mother and stepfather assert that: "The law Is clear In this case. Under California law. the esmlngs of the child are the property of the parents." The same thought used to be ex pressed by the disappointed fsrm boy who complained that "my colt be come his horse, my oalt becomes bis cow, my pig becomes his bog." well marks, what can I put on to make the scars fade or to prevent perma nent scarring? (Mrs. B. C. E.) Answer I advise you to keen hands off and leave the treatment to the physician. In the repair of such wounds the outcome depends largely on the skill of the surgeon. For In stance, It may be better to avoid stitches thru the skin, or to remove stitches In a day or two after the first aid treatment. No remedy la known which will -prevent scar or dissolve It.

Nc OW for a man as liberal as Governor La Follette, and also as shrewd and experienced politically to come out for a SQUARE DEAL-of this description, strikes us as news of exceptional importance, and the most cheering thing that has happened in this country since the armistice. For it can only mean one thing as we see it, that the tide at last has turned. Not against Roosevelt and his essential purposes as much as against his technique, his strategy and tactics. And this we regard as highly desirable. Wo have nccr understood, and don't understand today, whv President Roosevelt has refused to coll a halt on tuc offensive against one class and consolidate 'his position in that direction while he prepared to correct abuses that are all too apparent, in OTHER classes. NEEDLESS to say this column has been for the President nn.l hw 'pr Hpnl still is. but wa have been disannoint- d and at times dismayed at its one-sidedness. And we have longed for him to take the sort of stand the La Follette boys hnvc now taken, wlrich in the last analysis is nothing more than T. R.'s "square deal" applied to present day conditions. w K have wished he would sny, what he of course BELIEVKS spei'inl intprpst in any one class, that this isn't a country of nsses nnd never can be, that he is for EVERT CLASS WHEN IT'S RIGHT AND AGAINST EVERY CLASS WHEN IT'S WRONG, and then cite specific examples of elnsses when they nre wronp as Governor La Follette has done. But the President never has done this, or if he has, we haive missed it. The fact that the La Follette brothers HAVE, convinces this column, that the Liberal cause in this country is not KiP to be destroyed by becoming solely a CLASS cause, but is noiiitf to be a party generous nnd tolerant to all classes, but demanding a social conscience and responsibility, from each and every one. And this is certainly something to be very cheerful about in spite of the general mess this old ball of dirt is in at the present time. so much stage setting for the truing of fascism. That dividend? arr being cut la true. That the cause Is labor's hos'.ile attitude toward capital ic not. They are cut because of the economic laws of our competitive system com pel capitalists to cut their (and the rest ol us) economic throats- 1 e. in vest less capital in labor power vari able capital) and more in fixed cap ital: e, g. machines, etc. Profits are wade out of variable capital an not a penny out of fixed capital. Hence the prufit system Is becoming un profitable and howl What the unions are striving do Is to convince purchasing power of labor. Highest authorities from Roosevelt (and Dr. Townsend) down, say that It is essential to make the system work. That it will not. Is be side the point. The belief that It will (the Rodbertus theory) was ex ploded long ago. The point is: No body is responsible for the curtail ment of dividends certainly not the unions. R. HEGNER. Gold Hill.

Man About Manhattan By GEORGE Tt'CKKR In the months that I have sub consciously gazed Into those well Ilghtcd Roosevelt rooms I have seen some amazing things . . . for Instance, one morning a young fellow came to the window and tossed a "shoe brush on the head of a passerby. That brought an indignant protest to 'the management of the hotel. But the guest had barred his door . . . And he went a little haywire. The first thing he did was grab all the bedclothes and shove them out the window. Then he tossed out a suitcase. After that he edged a chair through the window and let It clatter sevpn stories down to the sidewalk.' fal lows, glasses, books, shoes, tubes of toothpaste followed . . . but by this time detectives had battered down the door and that was the last of that. One afternoon, wrestling with an essay. I chanced to lift my eyes and beheld Eddie Cantor, sitting In the window. On another occasion I rec ognized Billy Rose. I yelled at him. and five minutes later a messenger boy handed me this telegram: "You should be ashamed writing In a win dow in your shirt sleeves. Pull down your shades." r APPEARS, If we can believe what we read In the papers, that Jackie's estimated earnings of 4, 000,000 before be was 21 have shrunk, under the stewardship of hla mother and his stepfather, to around 1250, 000. Moral: If you're capable of earn ing millions as a child wonder, be VERY CAREFUL. In your choice of parents.
