The double holiday death and ao ddent toll, reveals It Is considered a personal Insult among the giddier speed idiots not to travel less than SO miles per hour for each child In th back-seat. The president on hla Jaunt across the nation will make lour major speeches, all In states with primary lections In the offing. None will be political, but it Is hinted, In Ken tucky, where a favorite White House senator fears trouoie at me pons, the chief executive will "go. to town" politically. Under the quaint logic of the New Deal nabobs, this speech csn be regarded as a political talk In Kentucky, but far from It, In all other states. OTIIKR CHEEK TUKNR1) (Coos Bay Times) "Had I continued with my church and condemned from the pulpit such things as seemed detrimental to society Harris and hla tribe perhaps wo'lid never have known I existed. It Is doubtful If they know what the Inside of a church looke like, let alone know what Is being preached." A noted phyalclst predicts man will be able to create Inexhaustible power from "atomic energy." That will be dandy. With millions nun gry, nearly nude, and Jobleot in the richest nation on tarth, it ap, pears utilisation of "atomic energy' could wait until every' tooth and Jaw is employed three times a day, biting holes In substantial food. The greatest throng since primary lection day flocked to the hills and streams over the week-end. Many bivouacked at the links. SOLICITUDK (Lynn Co. (Mo.) News) "Our wife keeps pestering us to buy one of those new-fangled garden plows that Is nothing but a hoe mounted on a wheel and with plow handles to push It. But our position is that a plain hoe was good enough for our mother, and Is good enough for our wife. And besides, those con traptions are too heavy for a delicate woman." , LITTLE RED HEN Bald the little red rooster, "Qosh all hemlock; things ara tough. Seems that worms are getting scarcer and I cannot find enough. What's become of all those fat one. Is a mystery to me: There were thousands through that rainy spell, but now where can they be?" The little red hen who heard him didn't grumble or complain, Bhe had gone through lots of dry spells, she hsd lived through floods of rain; So she flew up on the grindstone. and she gave her claws a whet. As she esld. "I've never cen the time there were no worms to get." The rooster vainly spent his day, through habit, by the ways Where hire fat worms had passed In squad, back In the rainy daya When nightfall found him supper. nc growled in sccents rouRh. "I'm hungry as a fowl can be. con ditions sure are tough." He turned then to the little red hen ana said: "Its worse with you. Tot sati re not only hungry but you must ne tired too. I reir-1 hi; 1 welched for worms. so I leel f:riy perk. But how sre you? Without worms too? And after all that work?" The little red hen hopped to her pi ' h and dropped her eyes to sl-rp.

(Jm Mail Tribune Want Ada. All Holidays 'T'HESE July 4th casualty of salt. They are advanced a indications of celebrating Independ ence Day, not wisely but too well. But as a matter of fact, this column doubts if the casualties have any direct relation to the celebration at all. Today for example the Associated Press announces: "Violent death took at least 332 rlctlma over the holiday week-end as the nation celebrated the 183nd anniversary of In Our contention is the celebration had little or nothing to do with the casualty list. If Labor duced a similar three-day holiday, we doufit if the deaths would have been materially less. For it will be observed that life" the fatalities being due to traffio accidents (183), drown ingg (84) ; shootings (15) ; suicides (13) ; heat (1) ; miscellane ous (20). Let the statisticians add up the total for ANT three day week-end period and see .how the figures compare, we wager there would be very little difference, TTHIS does not mean the movement to reduce July 4th casual- ties should be discouraged, or that the laws against the sale and setting-off of firewarks in our cities and towns, should be repealed. No doubt such sponsible for the decrease in tion that when one celebrates racket about it. But the value of these or authenticity, and the lesson they teach. An analysis of yesterday's little about the dangers of Independence Day; but a most elo quent story regarding the dangers of any holiday the Ameri can people decide to celebrate for two or three days. Relief and Politics A month or so ago Mr. Harry relief issued a statement following is the gist s "No one will lose his WPA Job because of hla vote In any election or hla failure to 'contribute to any campaign fund. This alwaya has been an absolute rule of tha W. P. A., and It la my responsibility snd yours to see that there are no excep tions. What's more, I want you to let me know If anyone tries to tell you anything different." That's plain enough isn't it! There will be a congressional and state election this Fall, and it won't be long now before there will be many grapo vine reports, that pressure is being brought to bear, upon those on relief, and those working in the. relief organization, to vote for certain democratic candidates, or else, It will be averred again, as it has been in the past, that if instructions aren't carried out, the offenders will be taken off relief or lose their relief jobs. Here is a suggestion to those who may be on the black list: Keep that above statement in mind, and if anyone tries to tell you if you don 't vote thus and so, you will be out on your ear, as fan as government relief is concerned, get in touch with Mr. Harry Hopkins at once. And if you have any difficulty in that direction, come to this office and we will see that such contact with the "chief" is made, and the facts are properly broadcast. There is no doubt Mr. Hopkins meant exactly what he said in that statement. With proper assistance from the press and the public, wo can seo no reason why, his orders should not be meticulously carried out! If Business Improves Etc. CARL SMITH in the Portland Journal maintains: "If the rise In business aa distinguished from the whirl In Wall Street, la sustslned, no gift of prophecy la required to ssy thst Roosevelt will be stronger then ha Is today and -the hopes of Republicans for an Impressive showing In the congressional elections will be lowered." Undoubtedly true. ' But what will happen if business doesn't continue to im prove and particularly if between now and November it should slip into another tail spin! . If the converse of Mr. Smith's prediction is true, then such a lamentable development would benefit the Republicans. But is it! Ave, there's the rub. Theoretically and traditionally, YES But somehow if things should stronger', we can't see the rank from field and workshop, to vote PERHAPS they would, but for Riioh a niptnr-A lust Hnan't In fact, with the U. S. A. crawling nearer the precipice than it is today we would envision the American voters shieing away from both the two older parties and taking a sharp turn to the left, to some reinearnated lluey Long or a Sockless Simpson, lrought up to date. Are we right ! If we are then that would seem to mean it's a esse of heads you win tails we lose for the Republican elephant. Or is it merely evidence there or in polities! Reduce Prices GIVE the devil his due. Secretary Iekes in his official career has made many unfortunate statements, and done many iinwi.se things, but when he says business in general should fol low the example of U. S. Steel ami reduce prices without cut ting wages, he is entirely right. There are some exceptions no doubt, but as a whole, com modity prices are too high. As long as they remain high, par ticularly in the construction field, industry in these directions will lag, and unemployment will not be reduced as it should be, with the general business up turn. Again there are no dmiM exceptions but this column believes that liig liuslness as a whole could reduce wholesale prices, keep wages ivliere they are, and through the greater volume of business, make a reasonable profit. And a reasonable profit a fair profit -ij all business, any business shuuKI expect. Are Dangerous lists should be taken with a grain Day or Decoration Day had pro "fireworks caused not a single restrictions have been largely re deaths due directly to the tradi the 4th, one must make an unholy ' any other statistics-r-lies in their death toll, tells the world very Hopkins, head of government to his organization of which the get worse, uncertainty and fear and file of Americans rushing for the 0. 0.

THE SIN AN Unfortunately for health and suc cess and happiness In life the aver age layman cherishes a notion that the benefit In valids derive from a sojourn in Bermuda, Banff, the Adt rondacks, Egypt. Colorado Springs, Hawaii, Nice or Mexico Is due to some mysterious healing power or heal tn - giving virtue of the climate. This aetata Imaginary magic of change of climate Is responsible for many disappointments for ill- advised seekers of cure, and for much futile yearning on the part of In valids who are unable to change cli mate tn that way. Z believe the benefits sufferers with various chronic respiratory dis eases derive from change of climate are actually attributable to factors already described (1) better air conditioning, (3) more sund'.lne, and (3) In some cases the more hygienic living habits Inspired by precept and example in the health resort envtr onment. All three factors are within reach of the Invalid who must remain at home. Of course, the more cloud, fog, smoke or dust In U.e air the less sunshine reaches the earth. This Is one reason why respiratory diseases are so prevalent among the poorer city dwellers In Industrial cities where the air Is constantly heavily laden with smoke, carbon, acid, ash, and one reason why ci ironic "ca tarrh," chronic bronchitis, chronic sinusitis and similar1 troubles are difficult to cure. The hetilth conserving and health building influence of sunlight de pends, not so much on the amount of sunilne available In a given place at a given time of year, but upon the amount of exposure of the naked skin to the sun. Without going Into lengthy discussion the principle Is briefly that, for health's sake, one should never take shelter from sun shine or even diffuse "skyahlne, nor wear any protection or cover to ex clude sunshine from the skin, when It Is not absolutely necessary to do so. This does not imply that one need make a crank or a fool of him self; on the other hand, most peo ple are Irrational In their avoidance of such exposure. Man About Manhattan By OfcOIUib TUCKER NEW YORK Your pampered re cumbent has had a very gratifying day, and If a record of his activities were chronologically set duwn they would appear something like this: A Oosslpcd two hours with Milton and Es ther Canlff. who drove out from New 0 1 1 y to bring me a bush el basket of fruit lush pineapples from Cuba, ba nanas fiom the West Indies, peaches from 6EORGE TUCKM Georgia, lemons from Louisiana, Texas pears, and Florida oranges, apples. B -i- Made a careful check of all my fishing tackle, as I plan to quit this bed of pain In the ntxt few daya and hie up to Mel draft's place, way up beyond Amsterdam, In a wild wooded sector on a big watershed. We'll fish and rest for two days. Hp writes: "The muskles are running and yesterday a big 35-pounder was taken In the yonder cove." . . .

She's my Perstsn est, and she's 11 yesrs old. . . . Hsd her ever since she could say me'ow. She's a great girl, although the bluejays are making It tough for her. They scare the dickens out of her every time she goes Into the yard. . . . They must think she's after the baby bluejays Well, Cynthia Isn't thinking about bluejsy meat. She likes kidney snd fish. ... I suppeve she'd look sort of funny to you. If you ever ssw her. She used to hare a tall as long as a setters. . . . But not long ago the wind blew the door shut on It. . . . And pinched It off. . . . It's hanging on my tle-rnck now. dangling with my neckties. D finished reading "The Year ling" and then took my medicine. Took It like a little man. too. If von want a book that is so "readable" it hurts, I offer you "The Yearling." .

Thil mesns D SINUSITIS It seems fairly well established now that vitamin D deficiency (sun shine vitamin), which Is almost un iversal among civilized people, ren ders one not only more susceptible to respiratory troubles (particularly chronic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, chronic bronchitis and pulmonary tuberculosis) but Is also an import ant factor In asthma, hay fever. hyperesthetlc rhinitis, allergy, hives, giant hives (angioneurotic edema), periodic sick headache (migraine) and, at least In my own opinion, that Irritability or weakness commonly known as "nerves" or neurasthenia. People too often do not know, or If Miey know they too readily forget, that exposure of naked skin to di rect sunlight Is the natural way to get the vitamin O which Is so essen tial for health and vigor. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Hydrocele What causes hydrocele? Can It be permanently drained? What does such an operation cost? (R. H. S.) Answer Cause unknown. As a rule withdrawal of the serum or wat ery fluid from the swelling gives only temporary relief the fluid re accumulates In a few months. In jection, after the method devised and given to the profession by the late Dr. Norman J. KUbourne of Los Ang eles, la tha best treatment. This does not require hospitalization or deten tion from business. Egg Allergy Can eggs affect one who Is subject to sinus trouble? Husband formerly had sinus trouble, not recently until he began eating eggs for breakfast, and tula seemed to bring back the trouble. (Mrs. D. J. M.) Answer Yes, if the individual happens to .be allergic or sensitive to egg white or egg yolk. Leukoplakia I have a patch of what the doctors call leukoplakia on my cheek Inside tne mouth, and no treatment has given any results so far. (W. H. A.) Answer Sometimes presence of dissimilar metals such ss gold and amalgams or steel or Hrome alloys sets up tiny galvanic battery action in mouth and produces such Irrita tion and sores. Test of this would be removal of the Inferior metal and replacement of dentures with gold. Ed Note: Persons wishing to communicate with Dr. Brady should, send letter direct to Dr. William Brady. INI.

Communications Approves of the W.P.A. To tne Editor: Again the government comes to the rescue as an agent to save an anti quated mode of carrying on social life. The editors of Scotland's Man chester duardlan say that Roose velt will again try to lick the de pression through spending or else . One thing we are sure of Is that the curve of government spending and ti-.at of "recovery" are quite suae, anarp nas been much of the criticism of this "evil" tack the ship of state again will take. But It Is for the most psrt uncritical so at least It Is believed. The general backwardness of the people both masses and classes, of their under standing of social forces end con ditions makes this tack to the "left" necessary. And what is necessary can not be evil. It It the WPA that Is most dls liked by the anti-new dealers. Even new dealers e.g., the LaFollettes style It "coddling and spoon feeding." But It Isn't thst at all. The WPA worker glvea to the nation In labor power quite as much If not much more than he receives, crystallized in the commodities and sen-Ices that his wages will buy. President Grant of the Mormon church does not think so. But he cannot prove that these workers are leeches. His attitude implies Just that. The WPA will ba a' structure ol grest Importance In America's evo lution out of Its economy of scarcity Into thst of sbundsnce. This fact seems to be everywhere overlooked, especially by those who are In It. Its role in getting us out of the "de pression" is not great but nothing will do that. Those who think that there are ways out while still holding on to the shortage economy do not understand our "system." What needs to be done as soon as possible is the extension of PWA Into produc tion, distribution and exchange throughout the length and breadth of the land. R. HEGNER. Oold Hill. July 1.

City Ssnltary 8ervtc Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS pARTHQUAKES, torrential rains and landslides visit their wrath upon Japan. In Tokyo, mure than 13 Inches of rain fell In a few hours, flooding 150,000 homes In the city. Throughout the nation, a poHce survey shows, 297,370 houses have been destroyed or damaged. And aa these words are written a typhoon la headed In from tha Chin:, sea. NE notes that in the earlier re ports the death toll la estimated at only 100, which would be a mod est casualty list for JUST ONE Jap anese air raid over a Chlnesi city. Nature, you aeo, although In one of her wilder moods, Is leas savage than the Japanese themselves. r"HE stock market, after a wild week, starts out wilder than ever on Thursday morning, then BREAKS, and favored Issues lose as much as $4 a share from their previous highs. Why? Well, if .you had a lot of paper profits, you'd like to turn them Into CASH, tn times like these, wouldn't you? That's probsbly wha, happened on the stock market. T THE race track, you put 2 in the machine and If your horse comes In the way you picked him to come you cash In and boast loudly of your skill as a picker. If your horses loses, you tear up your ticket and forget It. Your ticket Is WORTHLESS unless your horse wins. THE stock market you buy a stock. If It goes up. you win. If It goes down you lose. - But If you have been wise, and have picked a sound stock, buying It OUTRIGHT instead of on margin, you still have the stock left, even If 'the price does go down. It still represents a share In a sound In dustry, snd If conditions are such that the Industry can show a profit your share of stock will pay you a dividend. Your Investment In your share of stock has helped to provide capital for a sound business. yHAT, In a nutshell. Is the differ ence between gambling at the race track and gambling on the stock market. 4 On the Radio Chains 8 I t I'lONS Where to Find I hem on the Dial KEX Purl land llsu; KFI.

Corcoran and Hopkins act, as it were, as the front men of the Inner circle. Where other members of the group see the president only occasionally, Corcoran and Hopkins are constant channels for ideas and plans. Among the others. Harold L. Ickes, secretary of the interior, is the only cabinet officer of the Inner circle. The personable solicitor genersl, Robert H. Jackson, and the genial, tough-minded chairman of the SEC. William O. Douglas, are influential members, and so Is the unamlable but clever treasury general counsel, Herman Oltphent. Benjamin N. Co hen, who has the appearance of a Dickens character, and a daring, but delicate, and almost sensuously Intel lectual mind, Is Corcoran's crony and partner. Leon Henderson, Isador Lubln and Lauchlln Currle are the economists of the group, always ready. with facts and figures. Joseph B. Keenan, assistant to the attorney general and the inner cir cles practical politician: David1 K. Nlles, a former lecture-forum man ager now in the WPA, who runa In ner circle errands: Lowell MUlett. director of the national economic council, and SEC Commissioner Jer ome N. Frank might also be In cluded. But the Important thing about the Inner circle Is not the inclusion or exclusion of this or that Individual, but the fact that the members form a rather articulate, well-knit group. All presidents have hod private advisers, but you would have to go back to Andrew Jackson's kitchen cabinet to find a parallel for the Inner circle's group action. There are minor enmities and ri valries among them. Some have spe cial tasks. The deceptive impression of Corcoran's predominance, for ex ample, may be traced to his work as a coordinator, keeping in touch with everyone, relaying orders, pass ing on Ideas. Broadly speaking, how ever, the group acts with surprising unanimity. Regular meetings of certain mem bers were once contemplated, but there Is no formal consultation. The different members see much of one another in a quiet way, and in their talk usually arrive at a common viewpoint. ' As they are willing to act together, have friends and ad mirers all through the government, and enjoy the privilege of U:e pres ident's ear, their Influence Is nat urally large. For the president, they make the necessary private arrange ments of government, tie up loose knots on Capitol Hill, prepare and pass on legislation, and gather ma terial for speeches. They also give advice, but so do others, and their advice Is followed so often by the president only be cause it coincides with tils own in clinations. They are no "Camarilla' of sinister plotters. They are merely the president's supply depot of Ideas and abilities, his technicians and ex perts. Yet one of them was not far wrong, the other day, when he pro claimed, rather late in the evening. , "We are the new deal." i TO T WASHINGTON.
