TPHEY told Douglas Corrigan it couldn't be done, but Douglas hopped into his old crate, and DID it I Very wrong of Douglai. No young man should fly in an eight year old bug, much less try to get to Europe in it. And when the Department of Commerce refused to give Douglas a license, that should have settled it. But judging by his name Doug was Irish and bad the Celtic imagination and fighting spirit. He had flown 3,000 miles over land, he could see no reason why he shouldn't fly the same dis tance over WATER. So while all the wise-boys gasped and the officials at Floyd Bennett field shook their fists Douglas once free in the air turned the nose of his boat to the East instead of the West, and the next thing heard of him he had landed safely in Ireland 1 r0UGLA8 is now subject to arrest and the cancellation of ' his pilot's license. Well, if rules and regulations regarding air transportation aren't enforced, what is the use of having themt BUT, arrested or not arrested, license cancelled or not cancelled, we predict no red tape officialdom is going to stop Douglas Corrigan.

It la generally agreed, either one or both, at the height of their glory, If they put their hand to It, could aell more insurance than son, Jimmy, using the White House and Papa's prominence, as a springboard. e A Portland youth allegedly stole 200 to purchase a device for the undoing or Blot-machines, and other mechanical pickpockets, feeding on nickels. It seems the "Lost Genera- tioi," mournfully en route to WPA are prone to dally by the way for easy money. There should be an ax project for the massaging of sure thing contraptions. It would reduce the have-not of the have-nots. e e e The nobler optlmtsta are all feJon Jously claiming they enjoy the heat, and like a lawyer, being polite to opposing counsel, don't mesn a word of it.

They lifted neither their hands nor their volcea In his behalf, when a disapproving wiggle of their little fingers In Washington. D. c, would have flattened the unholy plot. The so-called "Liberals." and "Liberal Press," usually busy mouth ing alibis for the rabble and dema gogues running hog-wild, now charge the state's chief executive with un sportomAnfthtp. of which there wss plenty In his crucifixion. The throw era of vitriol should now be baptized with violet water by their target The attitude of the Governor meets with the approval of most Oregon-, lans who dete.it the double-cross, and the manner of .its appllrntlon.

Maybe you heard him mentioned as loule Wong, proprietor of a little Chinese restaurant on north E street. Mr. Ling died Fri day night, as quietly as he had lived In l.okevlew for the past twenty years, minding his own business, mingling with no one. Just running his small business to the best of hi ability. His books showed that the cuMrm.iry Chinese courtesy and generosity were not lacking In his make-up, for while there was little of money in the old gentleman's pocket or In his till, there was a long 11 t of credits liberally extended to people whom Ling must have thrtiurht to be hungry even If they oouldn t pny." iLakevlew Examiner.) , Making Better Citizens XXTITHIN the next two weeks, a group of young men of ' Medford will leave for Portland where they will partici pate in the Beaver Boys' State, to be conducted at the Hill Militury Academy. For those not familiar with the Boys' State, this compara tively new, American Legion-sponsored movement, brings to. gethor boys of high school and junior college age to seriously study by ACTUAL PRACTICE the principles of self-govorn ment. Already, the program has reached a nation-wide scope, and to the American Legion goes the credit for initiating a movement of far reaching importance to the young men who participate and to the nation! 'T'OO often, John Q. Jones, average American, decides the duties of administering the affairs of government should be left to professional politicians. For these duties are mani. fold and mysterious. He hasn't time to study them, or thinks he hasn't. He may let off steam occasionally if taxes increase too rapidly, but then that's a typically American prerogative granted in the Bill of Bights . . . Too frequently he exercises this right but doesn't ACT. Nol Government responsibilities belong to the politicians! THAT is why the Boys' State was organized ... to teach young Americans WHAT our national, state and local governments Rre; to teach them HOW these governments op. crate; to give them a thorough understanding of their rights as citizens and how to intelligently fulfill their responsibilities of citizenship! It is the aim of this movement to emphasize the fact that politics should not be regarded as a RACKET for the few, but as a SCIENCE OF GOVERNMENT for all it being believed a knowledge of this distinction will itself open avenues for vast public usefulness! 'T'lIE Boys' State brings together young men who, with careful leadership and assistance, organize themselves to conduct I he affairs of mock government. Through this type of actual, pracical instruction they are given an insight into the operation of government that few adults have experienced. Situations are confronted ; problems of national, state and local govern ments analyzed. QO in these Boys' State camps, conducted this year in several states, a knowledge of better citizenship and an apprecia tion of the finer fhings that citizenship and patriotism offer, are instilled in those who some day will guide the destinies of this nation 1 The movement is sound, practical, far-reaching! Other organizations have been quick to recognize and appre ciate the importance of Boys' State . . . Here in Medford, young men who represent this city will be sponsored by service clubs and fraternal organizations under the leadership of Med ford Post 15, American Legion and the Legion Auxiliary. - Nino young Medford men are already in line to attend the "camp" at Portland. Legionnaires here expect to send more. Oregon's Heaver Stnto Boys' camp will accommodate 2S0 and state members of the American Legion are striving to make it a two-session affair with a combined attendance approaching .'.00! Similar interest is being manifested elsewhere. 400 young men just completed the Boys' State course in California; 2300 in Illinois! This interest, here and throughout the nation, is an encouraging sign! I IKE every large family with periodical rounds of measles and chickenpox, America is not without her economic and social ailments; America, too,. has her share of imported and home-grown crack-pots who spread both openly and under cover their unsound doctrines in an effort to supplant the lessons of 1(50 years of American self-government, with some 193S stream line "ism." . Those things which are alien to American principles of lomocratic government can best he RECOGNIZED and EVALUATED by those who KNOW what this nation's princi ples and policies really ARE; what American democracy really IS. In initiating the Boys' State, veterans of the world war have the OPPORTUNITY AGAIN of truly serving their country and again contributing to the strengthening and perpetuation of American institutions. 11. G. One nose and throat specialist who waa not born a specialist but achiev ed his skill In that field thru wide experience In general practice. In forms me he has never been able to employ dia thermy for the e x t r 1 p atlon of tonsils, perhaps, u he concedes, because he fra never mastered the technique of the method. On the other hand he has found diathermy (elec tro- coagulation, electro-desiccation, electro-surgery, andotbermy) a most gratifying ad vancement In the treatment of sinu sitis; so muct) preferable to the old er surgical measures that It haa l.e come the method of choice In his practice. The Inference I draw from this competent specialist's view la that radical surgical treatment of sinus trouble Is not so good as the half- baked, Inexperienced "specialists" of Ysnkeeland would have unwary wise acre customers think. Wimt I mean la that the majority of so-called pe c la 1 lata In this country today are without any solid foundation of gen eral experience. I call these trick' specialists "brass specialists" and I tell the world they're the curse of Medicine In America. In urging the advisability of con servative treatment I do not mean to my that surgery Is never neces sary or advisnble, nor that dlather. my Is always preferable to more rad ical surgical operation. My purpose la merely to warn tiie public against the pretensions made and the devices practiced by the charlatans. Most of these shrewd merchants who hold themselves out to the public as "spe cialists" would starve If they had to depend on tlie confidence and respect of the reputable physicians In the community to call them Into confu tation In difficult cases or to refer patients to them for their advice. In long standing cases la sinusitis the thyroid gland function seems to become exhausted. This calls for ei ther the led In ration or, If the pa tient's temperature Is below tiie nor mal 08 between 4 and 6 p. m. dally, small dally doses of thyroid extract the thyroid extract should be dls- i continued If or when the body weight shows a loss or the pulse rate, which has been slow, is more than 60 a minute wren the patient la at rest Of course thyroid extract can be safely tused In this way only under the observation of the physician. The general hygiene, diet, clothing, ventilation, sunshine, air-conditioning, heating, constitutional remedies advisable for sufferers from other chronic respiratory diseases such as ct ironic bronchitis, and we'll consider these factors In a separate chapter on bronchitis. -Regular or systematic use of sprays, douches. Irrigations or suction is as likely to harm as It la to help. Such treatment should be restricted to oc casions or perlcds when tlie phy sician specifically prescribes It. QUESTIONS & ANSWERS Dangerous Drug Kindly tel me about benzldrtne sulphate tablets. How will they effect a pregnant woman. Any Information about these tablets will be appreciat ed. (Mrs. E. L. C.) Answer Benzldrlne la for too pow erfud a drug for any layman to mon key with. It would be as dangerous to use It without your physician's advice as it Is to use morphine or strychnine. Food In the Can Friend horrified at our unorthodox Habit of leaving certain canned foods In the can In the refrigerator for hours or days before we consume them. She Insists that health author ities warn against that as a danger ous practice. (E. E. P. and Family) Answer Nonsense. If the can is a fit container before It la opened It Is Just as fit flfter It Is opened. Your friend probably harbors imag inations about "ptomaine" poisoning a few backwoods "healUi authori ties" still fester such phobias. Monarch tritsm Please tell me if a man who haa had one testicle removed can have children? (D. M.) Answer The loss of one testicle or ovary has no effect on virility or femlnancy, potency or fertility, pro vided the remaining organ Is intact. Thaat'a why nature provides the spare. Copyright 1938.

Man About Manhattan By GEORGE rtCKEB NEW YORK Colonel Jacob Rup- pert qult naturally takes pride In his baseball clubs and his brewery. because his world champion Yan kees have proved tiiemselve the moat devastating machine In the major leagues, and hlB brewery sends millions of flagons of foam ing suds down thirsty throats every day. But there Is a place whero the J o 1 j n e 1 goes when he tires of business and de sires the seques tration that only a sanctuary affords. Go up to Garrison, New York, and you will find It a fine House built of stones from a pre-Revolution ad y quarry. This is the Colonel's pride and Joy, a fact that may amaze you when you consider his millions In Manhattan real estate, his opulent sports arenas, his vast holdings here and there GEOfUH TUCK keys, and scratches the ears of his grateful St. Bernards, and pours out an extra measure of oats for tfiose old brewery horses. That's the Colonel. Pretty soon he Is going to have another birthday, and on that day he'll be 72 years young. Well, congratulations. Colonel. And on that one day at least, I hope the Yankees kick the stuffing out of tiie Indians. 4 On the Radio Chains STATIONS Where to Itnd 1'hem un the Utal: KEX. l-uruand MSU; KFI.

Comment on the Day's News 'Sneak 'Hop Over Ocean Without Instrument Aid (Continued from Page One ) non-stop exploit In spanning the continent last week. He serviced his own plane, explain ing that he had only modest funds and preferred to save his money. The timepiece he used in taking celestial readings was nothing but a moderately priced wrist watcn. Corrigan would have started ear lier on what waa supposed to have been a flight back to California to the west coast, but Kenneth Behr, airport manager, refused to let him take off before daylight. Corrigan had told Behr he would like to leavo In his plane, heavily laden wltti gas oline, at 1 a. m. (E. D. T.) Behr refused him permission to use the field, fearing that Corrigan might smash up his plane on a take off in the darkness. "I merely want to fly by the light of the moon," remarked Corrigan. Behr rt.ee Hod the little ship, dis covered that It contained 330 gallons of gasoline and 10 gallons of oil, and shook his head. Corrigan waited, on Behr's Insist ence, until 4:17 a. m. then, with flares shedding light on the runway and floodlights bathing the airport, he races across the field. Fire equip ment and a police emergency car stood by. Corrigan had some difficulty In getting away. He covered 3,000 feet of the longest runway at Floyd Bennett 4.200 feet before the little plane could lift off. Those who watched bim were as tonished when be banked slowly and hesded eastward. Instead of west. That was the first Intimation that the irishman might be attempting a solo conquest of the Atlantic Even then, those acquainted with blm surmised that ha must have al tered course when he attained alti tude and struck westward for the Pacific seaboard. They pointed out that he Had been refused permission by the government last year to fly to Ireland. He flew without benefit of a par. achute, for use in an emergency. His plane, long out of production, la powered wltn a I7fl-h. p. motor, which la Just 3,02ft leas horsepower than Howard Hughes had tn circling the world last week In a transport machine. Corrigan had his own method of taking care of the antiquated crate he flew. When he wanted to grease the "push rods" which operate the Calves of hla motor, he merely un locked the metal covers and shoved in a handful of grease. Within an hour after his arrival stories about him began cropping up. Last Monday, Invited to broadcast on a network, he refused to take $100 for his services. Fifty, U:en? No, he said. Finally he was asked what he did want. "Well," I spent 14 on taxi fare get ting here.." he said. "I seldom ride In taxis, because when I don't fly, I walk." They finally compromised on $15.

One thinks of Mr. Ruppert as Big Business the executive who is sign ing a ass.OOO contract for Lou Geh rig, or adding new subsidiaries to his beer empire. But consider this: at Garrison he as a strange retreat where 40-odd monkeys live. These fellows dwell In air-conditioned tiled houses, so mat thev get Just the right temperature summer and winter. He has aviaries of rare tropical parrots; he has doz ens of bantams; his pens are filled with fancy pheasants from all over the world: he owns a flock of St. Bernard dogs, whicii he adores. On the grassy Mopes of his land, easing out their life In contentment and sweet-smelling grass, are the old brewery horses which have been re tired to the comforts of a well-cared for old age. They used to haul hi beer trucks through the city streets, but when their usefulness passed the Colonel didn't sell them to the glue factory. They're up at Garrison flick ing flies.

If he gets such a congress, there Is no telling what wild scheme will be sprung on ua as soon as the new congress assembles. In the past five years, we've had fed to us about all we can hope to digest In the next ten years. This writer fears that if the process of forced feeding Is resumed as soon as the next congress assembles, the United States of America will get a bad case of indigestion. What haa happened in Europe when nations get a bad case of Indi gestion la none too reassuring. WITH an election In the offing, we're having a breathing spell Business Is beginning to crawl out of the cyclone cellar and look around timidly, to be sure, and ready to dive back Into Its hole, but at least wilting to take a look. The stock market is rising, and a more hopeful spirit la abroad. But we had a similar breathing spell in 1936, and no one should forget that when a practically 100 per cent rubberstamp congress as sembled In January of 1937, a se quence of startling experiments was sprung on us that scared business out of Its wits and sent prosperity tumbling and unemployment totals CLIMBING.
