FOR THE TOLLS WILL REMAIN OPEN UNTIL 8 O'CLOCK. 1 SO IF YOU HAVEN'T VOTED YET , GET BUSY AND DO SO! DON'T FALL BACK ON THE MOTH-EATEN ALIBI: "ONE VOTE MAKES NO DIFFERENCE" ON ELECTION DAY EVERY VOTE MAKES . A DIFFERENCE, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOOD AND BAD OITIENSHIP! Can No Country Be Wrong? A DMIRAL DECATUR'S famous saying, which has appeured at the masthead of the Chicago Tribune for many years "My country right or wrong" Portland Oregonian. In an editorial today, it takes Jay Allen, well known Oregon war correspondent, to task for intimating such a slogan ia the bunk. And while it doesn't such doctrine, it leaves the impression that its sympathies are all with those who do. OATHER disheartening for rpnnt.innflrv Orpponinn. had not only had its face lilted, a new viewpoint and a new spirit. For that Decatur doctrine of the troubles in the world, today troubles which the Oregon ian from time to time deplores. How does Stalin retain his Italy, Hitler in Germany t What keeps the hard working peasants brothers, across the seat Obviously "Our country, right or wrong. Obviously a super-nationalism, nn exaggerated patriotism, a passion for one's country so Btrong, that no matter what course that country may take, it is approved. No matter what humane or moral considerations are violated they too are ap proved. In fact there is no morality, there is no religion. there is only one supreme thing in life, worship of the state The suppression of all human freedom, the denial of trial by jury, the eternal spying, the racial persecutions and tor tures, all the cruelty, inhumanity, and barbarism, of the present day, all is justified in every country where it exists, by that slogan "Our country right or wrong!" SO it is somewhat shocking to observe such an influential, enterprising and usually enlightened journal as the Ore gonian, directly or indirectly commending it. Under Buch an ideology, the greatest President this country ever had would never have reached the White House. For as a congressman Abraham Lincoln had the temerity to oppose the .Mexican war, condemned the administration for engaging in it, and as long as the war lasted refused to subscribe to it. When in his belief his country did wrong, he believed as a loyal citizen, he should point, it out and do all he could to correct it. He feared at the time his political career was ended, but his countrymen decreed otherwise. Oh no, the only hope for a better world, and be against one's country, which opposes it. What's Wrong THERE must be something radically wrong with the Burbank (California) airport. We haven't the official record at hand, but can recall in the past few years at least half a dozen fatal airplane crashes, within a hundred mile radius of the famous Union Air Terminal. And in every case the ill-fated airplane whs either just leav :ng or just about to land. To a layman at least it would seem that there must be something radically wrong with the location of any airport, which has had such an appalling record of fatalities. With the great advance in ship construction, and blind flying there would seem to be no excuse for one fatality after another, and all apparently due to the same cause, mountains and poor visibility, near the airport. The usual investigation of the fatal plane crash of Tuesday, with the loss of - nine lives will be made by the usual federal committee, no doubt, with a visit to the scene of the disaster only 30 miles from Burbank. In the opinion of this column the investigation might better be made at the Union Terminal, with particular reference to the rules and regulations, which prevail regarding outgoing and incoming planes!

William Brady, 263 El Csmlno. Beverly HUM. Calif. QUININE The chief materia -carrying mos quito In the United States la the species called, Anopheles quadrima cultua, generally a pond breeder. This mosquito may fly as far as a ml'e from Ita breed ing place, even against the wind It breeds prefer ably In stagnant salt water or fresh water !n the open, where tho eggs deposited on the surface of the water hatch Into larvao or wiggle tails In a day or two. The larvae are air breath era and have to come to the surface every minute or two for air. After a week or so the larvae are trans formed Into pupae, which remains at the surface, breathing through a pair of projecting trumpet-shaped tubes for three or four days until finally the winged Insect (lma;o, emerges from the pupal case through a rent near the breathing tubes. The time from laying of the eggs on he surface of the water until the new generation of mosquitoes files off averages 10 days. Neither the malarial mccqutto nor any other species can breed In damp grass, weeds or bushes, as some peo ple Imagine, although the winged In sects commonly rest and hide in the comparatively shady bushes or deep grass during the heat of the day. All male mosquitoes are strictly vegetarians. It Is the females that crave blood, animal food or human blood. The female must have blood for the full development of their eggs. Ordinary mosquitoes of the com mon garden variety are a nuisance than which nothing Is than whiclicr, but they do not carry disease. The n.alarla-carrylng kind Is readily dis tinguished from the ordinary harm less mosquito by the position In whish the mosquito alights on the surface The harmless mosquito sits or stands with Its body parallel with the sur face. The maMrla -carrying mosquito w w evanas wun its Dody nearly perpendicular to the surface. It requires from 17 days to five weeks for the malarial Plasmodium to complete its life cycle In the blood of the mosquito. Therefore, the mos quito cannot Inoculate a oerson through Its bite until from 17 to 35 days after It has sucked malarial blood from a person who had r.h disease. But once Infected the mos quito, which Is not particularly harm ed by the malarial parasite, my re ,maln a carrier for a Jong time and inoculate a good many persons In tho course of her career, before she suc cumbs to old age or a slap. made Queen of the May In Honolulu thla year which is quite a distinc tion. Probably the oddest Job In the world Is held by a man on the Warner brothers' lot, In Hollywood. He holds horses' hooves. Not long ago a horse kicked Richard Cromwell, and they decided to do somethinii ubout it. So a man was hired to stanrf out of camera range and hold up the horse's front hoot, if you hold up a horse's front foot, he can't kick The counterfeiters are giving the government some more competition.

So you had better keep right on taking r.ur dally prophylactic dose of quinine for that long after you leave the malarial district where you have been visiting or staying for vacation. Quinine prophylaxis is particularly Important where screens and mci quito bars are not available, for trav elers, automobile tourists, campers, marchers, hikers, working crews tem porarily in the field, and vacation visitors. 1 Fair dally prophylactic dose of qui nine is five grains every day you are In the district and for three months after you have left the district. In the latest (sixth) edition of "Pre-, ventlve Medicine and Hygiene" lAp-pleton-Century), Rosenau suggests not Iws than ten grains of quinine daily as the prophylactice dose.

Calif. newspapers and magazines, and ever In books written by college profes sors and other educated men who ought to know better, and I want to call attention to some of the most common ones, as follows: 1. We frequently see the state ment that something which is named Is "different than" or "different to' something else. This Is wrong, ac different Is always followed oy troni. end never by than or to. It should always be different from anohr person or thing. 2. x We also see the expression "less than 1000 persons," for example This. too. is wrong, and for the rea son that less, which is the compara tive degree of the adjective little, re fers to quantity, amount, value, size, etc., while few and its comparative degree refer to numbers. The ex pression should be fewer than 1300 persons or things. 3. I have heard even congressmen in their public addresses, and also others, say "between he and I." This Is inexcusable. Between Is a prepo sition, and all prepositions are fol lowed by the objective or accusative case. He and I are the subjective or nominative case, which means that they should be used only when the subject of a verb. The expression should be between him and me... I will add, too. that this particular personal pronoun la the only pro noun, or even noun, that changes Its form with Its case, so far as I i know (except In Its possessive case). All other nouns and pronouns uavo STRAW HAT DAY Saturday MAY 21 STYLES In S245 MEN'S SHOP K0VAL W. LEE the same form In both the subjective and objective cases. 4. Another common error la found In the expression "between Smith, Jones and Brown " say. This, too. Is wrong, and for the reason that be tween la only proper wbero two things or persons are referred to. Where thero are three or more, among la the cor rect preposition to use. The expres alon should read among Smith, Joi.es and Brown. o. a similar mistake, and a very common one, la the misuse of "each other and "one another." Each other is proper where only two per- persons or things are referred to. aud one another where three or more are referred to. Two persons agree with each other, and three persons aree with one another. 6. Another error Is the use of "most all" for "almost all." Must is an adjective, and so Is all. But one adjective cannot qualify another, but can only qualify a noun or pro noun. But adverbs do qualify verbs, acIJcctUes and other adverbs. There fore, when we want to qualify any adjective, as all is In the example above, we must use the adverb afnin.it. and say almost all, and never most all, 7. Another error Is in the use of "alone" for "only." Take the ex ample "he lived on his profits alone." We should say he lived on ala profits only. Alone means that one la un accompanied, while In the example above we want to say that the per son lived on nothing but his profits that is, hia profits only. 8. Another common error is In the use of "farther" and "further." Far ther refers to distance only, while further refers to extent, degree, some, thing In addition to, It is farther from Portland to San Francisco than from Portland to Medford. I make the further proposition. C. A. MOORE. 34 Rose Ave., Medford.
