Following campaign speech at Albany, by the chief Democratic op- ponent of Governor Martin, the play "Oovernor Martin uoes w iwd waa presented by a cast of Portland people. Two members "are avowed communist. Both are on record si such, and make no secret of the fact," the Albany Democrat-Herald editorially declarea. Whereupon, the newspaper desires to know; "do you, or do you not subscribe to the doc trines of sour two supporters?" An audience that remains to watch ama teur actors, after a political speech, are gluttons for punishment, no matter what the candidate thinks of his supporters doctrines, or their acting. v The secretary of the Interior re fuses to sell Germany helium gss for the Inflation of dirigibles. Qer many will have to do without, or find a wsy to utilise the surplus oratory, here and at home.

In one of these fortunato moments of aberration we took the election of the Judges of our higher courts out Of politics Insofar aa we were able and now are free to vote for a candidate In the primaries without first hav ing to check carefully upon his political label." Farmers are busy removing wool from sheep, and quit a bit that waa pulled over their own eyes, by lste professional friends. The American Bible society re ports the Bible Is still the world's most widely read book. This Is bssed upon the salea last year, and not the way some of the readers are acting. ... A Democratic candidate for county clerk received only one vote In Duck Creek precinct, Indiana. He want to shake hands, and buy a drink for him.

It Is probably true that a daughter of Mr. Staitgs married Iron Dick against the wishes of her parent, who have, with good reason, been unhappy about the altuatlon ever since. It also may be true that Mr. 8taggs made himself something of a nuisance sround the district attorneys of- " flee over what he regarded aa a misalliance, but we think the wounded feelings of a father and mother should be considered aym pathetically." The weather turned off auspicious yesterday, for getting fingers caught In an electric fan. a This Is Friday the 13th, Hated aa a day, when bad luck becomea more so. It Is regarded with suspicion by all accustomed to bad luck, which l regarded as better than none at all. THE DALLES May 13. (API Ocorge Bauer, 1, student at th Whmier Junior hlgn school, was In s hospital today for observation sf- rer swallowing an open anfety pin. The pin slipped down his throat when he turned to talk to a friend on a school bus. XITHY' doesn't the'League of , Nations call it a 'day and v jirlimirn sin diet ' .'.'" We can' see no earthly good served by its continuance, and if there are many 'more meetings like the one yesterday, there is danger of the.League doing groat harm, to the world. For no League of Nations at all, is far better than a League that plays the hypocrite, and violates its fundamental faith, And that is what the League did yesterday regarding Ethiopia, : . TPHE League was founded upon the determination to maintain 7 world peace and its two cardinal principles were: The protection of weak nations against the strong. ' The crushing of AGGRESSIVE wars of conquest. " Italy violated both these principles. With no excuse but the lust of conquest Mussolini invaded Ehiopia, slaughtered thou sands of its defenseless inhabitants, and took over that country, by the right of superior strength and force.' Thanks to' the leadership and forceful idealism of Anthony Eden, the League did invoke sanctions against Italy, for a time. But League support was half hearted and with the downfall of Eden even this pretense of opposition wag abandoned. ' Ex-Emperor Haile Selassie, brought the issue up squarely before .the League: council yesterday, and to the everlasting shame of that body a majority of its members declared in favor of Mussolini and against the rightful king. Bather than further incur the enmity of Fascist Italy, the League frankly bowed to the superiority of might over right 1 ' 1 WOW, we are cot saying such action was not in accord with ' realistic politics, and probably in accord also with the exigencies of the new balance of power in Europe. With Eng land and France insisting upon recognition of II Duce's con quest, the League obviously could do no less than follow along with the world powers that formed and control it. '.. . But we ARE saying that when a League of Nations any League formed to advance the cause of world peace, pledged to oppose wars of oonquest and maintain the rights of weaker nations against the stronger, abjectly fails to do any of these things, and becomes the medium through which war-like nations return to the old balance of power, in preparation for another world holocaust, the TIME HAS ARRIVED TO QUIT, . Ring down the curtain, the play is played out. The only ray of sunshine in the circumambient gloom, is the refusal of Secretary of State Hull, to follow suit, rather slight consola tion when one considers the only world power willing to stand up for the principles of the League is the one power that refused to join it I ' Is Politics in Relief? EPRESENTATIVE BACON'S amendment to "decentralize" federal relief was squashed in the House yesterday by a vote of 106 to 39. We .wonder how many of the wailing-wall habitues, who today are proclaiming this outcome, as a body blow to good government, have analyzed the proposal at all 1 Personal Health Service By William Brady, M P.

Address Dr. William Brady, 285 tJ Csmlno, Beverly IIIUs. Calif. HOW TO BAT WELL 'Cm d 1 sSb! R1 DRIEFLT Mr. Bacon's idea was this. For every dollar donat- - ed for relief by the government the state would donate cents. In return for this contribution, the state, not the government, would determine how, where and whe the federal money should be spent. Wifh the assistance of bi-partisan, state boards, "politics would thus be taken out of relief .and relief, out of polities I" Vory pretty. . BUT WOULD it .Tllfit. tMnlr that nXTAf ftr a wnmnnt Does. anyone suppose that there would be no politics in roliof, if the state of Pennsylvania, or Illinois, or Louisiana, or Now York, were given millions of federal money, to do with as its state "non-partisan board" might wish, the government that donated the money, having nothing to say as to how its money should be spent t Those who would answer in the affirmative are certainly pretty trusting souls, unfamiliar with the history of political government and methods, in the states of this country, up to present moment. ' AND if federal relief were further decentralized, as others have proposed and government money with no strings attached handed over to the municipalities, HOW pure and non-political would be the distribution in Greater Manhattan, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, and other Ameri can metropolit Think that over, too, in view of human nature and the facts. 1VIILLIONS mind you turned over to the larger city govern ments, by Uncle Sam with no strings attached, to be distributed as that local government, through its non-partisan board might dictate. Can't you see just how non-partisan that board would be, and how completely all local relief would be divorced from politics! It's absurd on ita face. 'T'HIS column, of course, would like to see ALL POLITICS removed from relief. But regardless of the party in power, as long as federal relief has to be carried on, on a large scale, we never expect to see such an ideal realized. As far as it CAN be realized however, it is this eolumn's tirm conviction, that the Roosevelt, administration through Director Harry Hopkins has administered relief as NEAR to a non-political and non-partisan basis, as is humanly possible. The fly in the ointment has been, NOT in the character of fsderal administration, but state and local distribution. not what federal officials have done, but what city and state BOSSES ,gve done, with the federal funds at their disposal. Repeatedly Harry Hopkins has told relief workers and the country, that political affiliations must not be considered in any way and as far as the government is concerned, are not considered. Hut as Alsop and Kintner in this papers "Column Left" brought out yesterday--the Guffeys and Kellys, and Me Olosekeys in the state of Pennsylvania, can't be controlled. And yet the Baoou amendment would give these state bosses. MORE control over the expenditure of federal relief funds instead of less. It's another one of those propositions that listens well but doesu't wasbl I know of only on wsy for s child under eighteen yeara of age to reduce safely In any case, and that la under tha constant ob- ssrvstlon; In struction and treatment of the family phyalclan. Any adult who haa accumulated more than 10 per cent excess bag gage In the course of ten years, more , or less, d 1 a p asslonately. Remember, It la generally revers ible, the process by which tha surplus haa been piled up. so It la foolish to lose your bead or your health trying to boll, pound, squeeze, rub, sweat, stew, bake, burn, shake, dissolve, melt or soak It off. A fair amount of exercise dally. equivalent, for tha average sedentary adult, to walking six miles. Is helpful In any sound reduction regimen, pro vided the overweight Individual la not forbidden by his or her physician to take exerclae, for some special rea son. Systematic general exercise of any kind makes one who la too fat feel and look more alender, reduces the girth rate and other measure ments, but haa little effect on weight. Muscle, It must be remembered, la heavier than fat although It takes up lesa room. Thousanda of young men who entered training camps during the World War, from office or other sedentary Jobs, lost several Inches In girth and became distinctly more slender while gaining an average of 13 pounds weight In a few months of physical training. A few fat persona who have for gotten any physiology they ever learned still Imagine fat can be re moved by taking salts or by taking atrenuoua aweats by one meana or another.' Any reduction of weight so brought about 1 inevitably adjusted with 48 hours by the Intake of more water the weight lost represent only the weight of the water. One excellent reducing exerclae I can recommend from theory AND experience. The directions are simple: When the dessert la coming on you push yourself back from the table. Now no one la fonder of dessert than I am, if It la sour cherry pie or double chocolate frozen pudding. Yet, If I had to renounce forevermore my pipe, my bowls or my pie or pudding, I'd be in s pretty serious predica ment Seriously, though, it la no great self-denial for a lad or lasa who has Just stoked In a good square meal to toddle along without piling another meal right on top of It. I am speaking now of the mature adult who Is a bit overweight or Inclined that way. This doea not apply to youngsters who get plenty of exerclae every day, nor to any child under eighteen. . Besides tbs physical benefit the undernourished may derive from this exercise and the moral benefit that accrues from any aelf-dlsclpllne, there Is the greater good one can do with the tidy sum one saves by abstaining from dessert. Another bsbit or custom which now prevails In the fsr west snd de serves adoption In the east, Is the serving of salad before the entree or main course of the meal. Thlr 1 the time for all big eatera who do not earn their bread by the aweat of their brow to dally with greens and raw vegetables and relishes and to give their teeth, gums snd Jaws a bit of much needed exercise.- Before the main course Is the time to lay in the roughage and bulk, not after the roast, at least for the - overstuffed. Mslnounshed adults of forty or more who carry a ten per cent handicap snouia concentrate on ' the salad course because It supplies or should supply the vitamins and minerals they particularly need.
