It is money well spent 1 Statistics prepared by the Travel and Information Depart ment of the state highway commission, which administers this sizeable advertising fund, reveal some interesting facts ton- cerning tourist travel in this state. Twenty million dollars were spent by motorists from out of state last year, making the tourist business one of Oregon's most substantial and profitable industries. The average expen diture was slightly over $100 for every car entering this state Here is NEW CAPITAL attracted to Oregon. It finds its way into ALL channels of trade; in some manner or other, all Oregomans profit by this influx of pleasure seekers. The phenomenal success of California's extensive programs in past years, with resulting population growth and industrial expansion, is convincing proof that it DOES pay for a state to advertise.

If It don't turn out to be another dream, like a railroad to the coast. XJECESSARILT, Oregon's tourist promotion efforts have ' been restricted in past years; budgets have not provided for the program of advertising the state really needed. We are now on the right track, however, and added funds will be forthcoming as Oregon's important tourist industry expands, The present year has been a real test for Oregon's advertis ing program. Because of economic conditions, general tourist travel as reported by most of the national parks and by other states is off approximately 10 per cent. Oregon travel, however, maintained 1937 levels up to July lstl The registrations of out-of-the-state cars for the first six months of 1937 were 53,030 cars. For the corresponding period this year the registrations were 53,122 1 After checking the reports already received from resorts. auto camps and hotels, state officials optimistically predict that July registrations will be well up to the July 1937 mark. TPHERE is no better yardstick with which to measure the pulling power of Oregon's advertising campaign. The -state's Travel and Information Department has used good Judgment in the planning and execution of Oregon's tourist promotion program. Exhaustive surveys were made to determine the habits and needs of the touring public BEFORE the initial campaign was launched. With a limited budget every advertising dollar had to count I Wisely tho services of a successful advertising agency were enlisted to complete the task of preparing appealing copy and choosing the most effective media for Oregon's tourist messages. The program was intelligently and thoroughly handled; Crater Lake, by virtue of its important place among the tourist attractions of the west, has been emphasized through out the campaign. One notable example was a full page Crater Lake color advertisement in the Saturday Evening Post. "PHE Travel and Information Department has printed and will distribute over 350,000 pieces of literature and maps when the end of the year rolls around. This department will also have distributed over 100,000 pieces of literature adver tising various communities of the state. The success of Oregon's tourist promotion program has been successful to a gratifying degree! Over 50,000 inquiries have already been received this year, a 10 per cent increase over the corresponding period of 1937. State officials estimate that this number will exceed 60,000 before the end of the year. A healthy interest in Oregon is being manifested by vacation- minded people throughout the nation and Canada! As the tourist industry expands, Oregon's ability to increase her advertising efforts and improve her highways will corre spondingly be extended. The people of this state have good reason to view with optimism the bright future of her tourist industry. Those who "Drive Oregon Highways" in years to come will bring with them a now, greater prosperity for this state 1 H. G. Personal Health Service By William Brady, M P.

A WORD TO THE OL I'TTON IS WASTED I notice loma eolumnUU grace fully stand aalde and let their read era aerve ae guest conductors when they, the columnist, want to go fish' lng. But. dam It all, X can't go fishing any more, for I hate to kill a fish Just for sport. However, I am quietly training a few readers, so that If I e t e r am caught and sent to Jail we can keep, the health of the country up to snuff un til I get out again. J. D. O. has something to tell you gluttons. Any way It will do you no harm to listen to his advice: An English judge once decided that man Is drunk when, due to the Influence of liquor, he cannot do properly what he la trying to do. Thus s man sitting In an easy chair might be sober as far as sitting In the chair were concerned, although unable to walk across the room with out reeling. On the other hand. If single cocktail Impaired his Judg ment so that he tried to beat train to a crossing, or slowed his reaction time so that he felled to apply his brake promptly enough to prevent collision, the man would be regarded as Intoxicated. Reading this set me to thinking about gluttony. We commonly think of a glutton as one who Is an enor mous eater, one who stuffs himself. Following the reasoning of the Eng lish Judge, would not one who. through lack of self-control, cats any amount that Is more than he can digest, or any viand which he cannot proporely dispose of, qualify as a glutton? Why not call things by their right names? When we have an attack of biliousness, acidity or dyspepsia, why not acknowledge that the probable cause Is gluttony? Why not recognize that the many alkalis, antacids and laxatives urged upon us through every medium of communication today are addressed to and for the use of gluttons? (J. O C.) I have cluttered up a whole col umn many a time and said less than D. C. says In a night letter. "Biliousness" or "bilious attacks" were more popular a generation ago than they are today. J. D. O. tells us the cause. Hasty eating Is a cause, as well as overeating. The old-timers put In more time at their eating than we do today. But then, they hadn't discovered hyperacidity, colitis, acid osis, autointoxication and hlgn blood pressure, so what was there to do to while away the time but alt and eat? The state of the liver was good for only a moment's casual conver sation. J. D. O. U right. Then as now, gluttons would rather call It any thing but gluttony? QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Hay Fever. Hay fever sufferer declares that he finds surcease through keeping his nostrils plugged with natural wool through the hay fever season. His season comes ori schedule and he knows when to plug up. (J. D. W.) Answer Probably the pollen en ters through the nose In most cases, so this method sounds reasonable. By natural wool Is meant wool as It comes from the sheep. It may be bought under the name of "lamb's wool" from druggists and surgical dealers. Immunity. Why Is that after a person has once had typhoid they never get It again? What causes the Immunity? Is it that some germs are left In the body to fight any that might Invade the body again? How do some persons become carriers? (Mrs. O. M.) Answer When a patient recovers from typhoid fever he recovers be cause his blood has produced an antidote against the typhoid toxin, Just as the diphtheria patient re covers when his blood produces enough antidote or antitoxin to neu tralize the poison or toxin produced by the diphtheria germs. Why some typhoid fever patients continue to be carriers of the germs year alter recovery, we do not know. Usually the germs remain In the gall-bladder, and sometimes removal of the Infected gall-bladder clears up the carrier" state. (Copyright, 1938, John P. DiJle Co.) Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS TOTE this headline: "Japs Make ' Peace Overtures." The overtures are mads to the Russians, and the Russians Indicate tha they are willing to tall, under certain condltlona. The conditions are' not TOO dif ficult. f IJAVINC1 noted these things, go take a look at the map Tou will see that Vladivostok Is dangerously close to Tokyo. At Vlad ivostok tha Russians are reported to have a huge modern airplane base. From this base Russian planes could strike menacingly at Tokyo and other Japanese cities. Tou will also note that tha point on the Siberian border where the fighting has been taking place Is tha point where the Japs would prob ably strike If they were striking at Vladivostok. T-a JUST possible, you ae, that ' tho Japanese made a demonstra tion In force at Vladivostok, but found the Russians present in EVEN GREATER force snd so decided to withdraw 'and talk peace. In any event. It rather looks as It there wouldn't be a Russian Japanese war RIGHT AWAY.

Those are the words of Puck in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" written by Shakespeare back in the ilnys of the horse. the coach and the litter. And though, it is true, the words bore no relation to problems of travel, there is a temptation to echo them now every time the constantly mounting statistics of death on the highway point to the tragedv of these beautiful summer nights. 11 A Midsummer Night's DRAMA" is a modern drama that no man wrote. Nevertheless, it is one in which thousands play a part after the curtain of darkness has fallen over the highways and over the busy city streets . . . And thousands diel It is a paradox of this nge of light that we continue to carry on the potentially most dangerous activity of the time in com parative darkness continue to drive at mile-a-mimite speeds over highways that are as lacking in illumination as those over which the coaches rattled from Boston to Worcester 200 odd years ago. UNTIL major highways and main city street, at least, are provided with really adequate illumination and are made as modern and safe at night as they are in the daytime, there can be but one salvation common sense!

If they were sole to make an unbiased Judgment of the situation, they should, on the con trary, be desperately gloomy. For the one thing most feared by Ameri can conservatives at the moment is a third term for Franklin Delano Roosevelt. And If the president soft ly lets matters slide, they win arrive at a position where the third term sgltatlon will be unavoidable. The Immediate purpose of the purge has been to give the president control of the Democratic party. If he does not get that control, he can not nominate his successor In 1940. And unless ha Is allowed to pass on his successor, he will be sure that the cause of new deal principles la lost. To save his cause, the betting Is twenty to one he will run again.
