THE comparatively recent traffio safety program in lledford and other Oregon communities, and throughout the nation, is meeting with gratifying success as evidenced by recent statistics furnished bv the Secretary of State's office. The report clearly shows that a greater measure of safety on high ways and city thoroughfares CAN be achieved if we wan! it enough to WORK for it. Traffio Safety Councils in' 1,101 cities, located in 42 states, are approaching their traffio problems in a manner similar to that of Medford's council . . . they are seeking to apply modern safety technique to traffic problems after a careful analysis of accidents and their causes. . Workable ideas are interchanged with the Secretary of State's office as the coordinating point in Oregon and the National Safety Council filling this role in the nation wide program. ,arjniiE proof of the pudding is in the eating." RESULTS, after all, are the only practical yard-sticks with which to measure the success of this comprehensive pro gram. Let us examine the latest figures to see if this latest. safety program is accomplishing RESULTS or is just another version of the old hullabaloo about Careless Driving. Traffio fatalities in Oregon for the past five month period dropped 19.3 per cent that's something worth working for Taking into consideration the fact that highway travel in Oregon increased approximately six per cent the first four months this year, this sharp drop in accidents and deaths, and a small increase in injuries, appear all the more remarkable, NATIONALLY, the picture is equally "bright with a reduction of 19 per cent in traffio deaths over the first four month period of 1938! The population death rate last year was 25.6 per 100,000, against 20.7 this year; the mileage death rate for the first three months fell from 16.4 deaths per 100,000 vehicle miles last year to 12.8 this year. Medford shows a slight decline in accidents for the first four months of 1938 j Jackson county's injuries and deaths from traffic accidents likewise are lower. IT is difficult to measure human life in cold, uninteresting figures; the progress made in traffic safety is far greater than these statistics indicate. Persistent, intelligent effort is being well rewarded. Greater success CANNOT be achieved unless the public realizes and accepts its responsibilities; sensible DRIVING and WALKING will do much to check a traffio toll that is nothing short of a national disgrace. Public spirited men and women in Safety Councils, closely cooperating with efficient law en forcement officials, can analyze traffic problems and attempt their solution; eneers may construct safer highways but the safety program will FAIL unless the driving public COOPERATES 1 The community, state and national traffic program IS obviously being approached in a practical way . . . progress is being made. Safe driving CAN, in a large measure, become a reality. Let us ALL make a contribution to GOOD CITIZENSHIP by being GOOD DRIVERS 1 H. G. And the Children Suffer IT is a truism among penologists that extreme punishments do not pay. By extreme punishments are meant those which are more severe than the nature of the crime warrants. Under such circumstances juries are loath to convict, and often go to the other extreme and hand down an acquittal, just as a way of expressing their resentment, when there is no question of the defendant's guilt. Extreme punishments also arouse publio sympathy for the criminal, which is usually in no sense deserved, and would not exist, were not the public's innate sense of fair play-end justice violated. In other words extreme punishments defeat their own pur pose, which is serving as a crime deterrent, and arc avoided as sedulously by export penologists and criminologists, as inade quate punishments. For both tend to defeat, the ends of justice, and in the last analysis, encourage rather than discourage crime. A S a result of the Lindbergh kidnapping and murder this country was aroused, as it never had boon before. and probably never will be again. And the wave of horror and indignation that swept over the countrv was ENTIRELY justified. As a result of it the Lindbergh kidnapping law was passed, which makes the act of kidnapping, per se, a capital offense. The victim may be returned to its parents snfe and sound, the ransom mouey returned or never turned over. It makes no difference, the law says the kidnapper, or kidnappers, must hang. THERE is no doubt such a penalty had the support of public opinion at the time, the law was passed. It may even repre sent a majority opinion now. However that, mnv be the fact remains that the net result of this law has been not to stamp out or even decrease kid napping, and the principal sufferers have been not the criminals but their victims usually young and defenseless children. For it places a premium upon murder. The kidnapper has everything to gain and nothing to lose by killing his victim. If caught he will hang anyway. So why not make his getaway infinitely easier by making away with his victim t The Lindbergh law merely furnishes added evidence, that extreme punishments, do not pay.

Mr. Blank reports he has benefited much from belly breathing for in ability to get to sleep at night. It seems to bring relief to the sensa tion of gss fullness snd when that goes sleep soon follows. He now finds belly breathing quick er and more ef fective than get ting up for i dose of soda. Well, even get ting up for a dose of chalk 5 or 10 grains of calcium carbonate would be better than tsklng soda, for the relief of "gas" or "acidity" or "sour stomach" or "heartburn." But ths main purpose of Mr. Btsnk's letter Is to give his experi ences with cracked Hp. He Is 44 years old snd for years has suffered with crscked Up through most of the winter, snd sometimes also in summer from too much exposure to sun. A long time ago he resd In this column the suggestion to spply flex ible collodion to the cracked lip. He distinctly recalls we said flexible. and the defense concedes that ts cor rect. That summer in the terrific heat our correspondent bad a badly cracked Up. The druggist had only plain collodion, which Mr. Blank used, and with most satisfactory result. The following winter he had. to rwirt to collodion again, but It required only two applications to get the crack healed this time. Another winter the old trouble re turned, and thla time the druggist had flexible collodion. Mr. Blank used It, but found It difficult to keep on the Up snd obtained no relief from It. He then tourned a string of drug stores until st last he found one that bad the old plain collodion, This readily stuck when applied to the crack, sealed It over, and soon brought sbout healing. This past winter the Up has not cracked at all, though once or twice he had what seemed to be the begin ning of a herpetic blister or "co!d soro" and Immediately spplled a pro tective coating of the plain collodion, which evidently prevented develop ment of the trouble. The essential purpose of the col lodion treatment of herpes of the Up or cracked Up Is to split the Hp. prevent constsnt movement of the edges, keep It as nearly as possible at rest, protect It. That being so, plain .collodion is preferable for the purpose. Flexible collodion ts the ssme as plstn collodion except thst some oil Is added. PJaln collodion Is pyroxlln (soluble gun cotton) dis solved In alcohol and ether; flexible collodion is plain collodion containing also some csmphor and some castor oil. In applying plain collodion to a spilt or cracked Up It Is necessary that the lip be perfectly free from any oil or sslve which may have been applied, perfectly dry, and the edges of the fissure or- crack should be carefully held together between thumb and forefinger while the col lodion Is drying. As soon ss the first dressing comes loose, remove It and spply a fresh one. Comment on the Days News George Vilas has furlough from army to help In orchird.

GEORGE TUCKR NEW YORK One of the most colorful characters ever turned out by Greenwich Village has approached this correspon dent with sn un fa e 1 1 e v able re quest. "Please," he asked us,' "please do not mention my name In your column again, for . a while at least." Well, that's an unbelievable re quest In this town, wher everybody la in a mad scramble tor publicity. People In New York, especially If they are In the entertainment business. Just don't make requests like that. "Of course, Joe." I said (Joe isn't realty his name), "if you say so, you'll get no mention here. But this astounds me. I don't want to pry into any secrets, but If it Isn't getting too personal . . ." He drew a deep breath. "Gee. thanks." he said with such evident satisfaction that I was more Intrigued than ever. "You'll save me a lot of explaining. Remember that story you wrote about me several weeks ago? Well n girl I used to know several years ago resd It in a Pennsylvania newspaper. And she's been writing me letters every day. She wants to visit me when she comes to New York. She wants me to visit her out there. She's a nice kid. but well, she gets sort of goofy st times, and I don't tike goofy women. She's writ ten me five letters since that column came out." Goose, Snow White.

As the President is human, the theory that. If he strikes a blow, his side ts sure to win should prove ap pealing to htm. The trouble is that It hardly takes in all the facts. As has been pointed out re peat el y by now, the Iowa fight was essen tially a, fight between the federal and the state Democratic machines. Even In these days of great federal establishment like the WPA, federal machines are rarely so strong ss state -machines. And, in most of the other primaries where the White House is heresy-hunting, there Is the same state-federal conflict. Interesting In many wtys are the w murals at the Jewish Hospital in Brooklyn, done by Albert Cugat. whose brother Is the famous maestro and caricaturist at the Waldorf Astoria. Albert Is the younger broth er, a Spaniard who Uvea In 73nd street. Half his time Is spent wan dering old roads and sltttnu at stone tables in the arches of Spanish ma sonry in O'.d Spain.

Mother A good example is Georgia, The President Is scheduled to accept an honorary degree from the University of Georgia shortly before the primary voting. If he wants to do anything, he has the chance. But the strength of the local ma chine Is already being demonstrated in the state. Gov. E- D. Rivers, who ts simultaneously a Klansman and a New Dealer, was thought of to run against Senator George. He was dis carded for two reasons his Klan af filiation was embarrassing, and the power companies and other big busi nesses which supply the sinews of war in Georgia politics would not coun tenance his candidacy. Therefore. Camp was put In the field at the last minute, after a frantic search. The business men who intervened to keep Governor Rivers at home are now doing their best to keep him from declaring for Camp. He Is running for the governorship again, and the business men nav given be stays neutral, or frlendlessness, if he backs the White House msn.
