It Is harvest time, and from the
corn belt states comes news dis
patches telling of the prodigious
ieata of old men, lour score or more,
In husking, shocking, and stacking
the corn, wheat end hay. One patn
arch, so the story goes, manned a
oltchfork 14 hours, and was mad
because the threshing machine broke
down, and he had to quit. Another
celebrated hla 87th birthday In a

st sturdier period. They took the
places of younger men, playing check
ers at the pension club headquarters,
and dreaming ot Utopia, at some
body else's expense.

Editorial Correspondence
. VICTORIA, B. Ci, August 18. (By Hail) A few odds and
ends, regarding the old boys golf tourney.
One of the oldest members of the club from Vancouver, is
a Soot and proud of it. To economize in "picks", he has two
tied together with a red woolen string. Very carefully he
puts one in the ground, rs a stake, places the other for his ball,
and then takes one of these slow motion swings. He may not
get much of a drive but he never loses a pick.
. .
Another member is noted for his wild swings, he starts far
back, swings in a wide arc, and violates every principle of the
game before he sends the gutta percha on its way, but he
practically always HITS it. Jn fact after watching these older
boys for a day, we are reminded of the amine' trainer who first
taught an elephant to walk on his front legs. Ho called the
ring master in to see the first performance, and the ring master
didn't think much of it. He didn't think the elephant walked
well. "He doesn't", agreed the trainer, "but the wonderful
thing is he can walk on his front legs at all !"
.. The wonderful thing about a score of these veterans, with
all their rheumatic gyrations, is that they can play golf AT ALIj.
Before leaving the veterans, however, let it be noted that
they are not all in the "seere and yellow', not by any means.
The ages rango from 55 to 85, and in the championship flight
there are probably as many good golfers as one would see in
any club tournament. In fact the probable winner "Dixie"
Flcager of Seattle, has as perfect a swing and gets as good
a ball off the tee as any one wc have ever seen, (he is a baby
member, just 55). There is nothing easy about this course, it is
thickly wooded, the fairway is about half as good for a "lie"
as the Medford fairway, and the greens are uneven and
spotty, but he has been only a few strokes above par in everv
ground he has played. In fact
ot perhaps thirty members, those older boys would all shoot
somewhere in the 80's most of the time, which in your corre
spondent's opinion is all any average human being of maturity
should aspire to I
But to return to the wild swinging member:
They have white wooden balls, to mark the tec line, balls
about the size of a small musk melon. On the first tee Wild
Bill put his ball near the marker and presumably swaying out
of the visible area as usual came down WHANG! not on the
ball but on the marker. Why he didn't break his club and
dislocate his elbow is still a mystery, the most likely explanation
being the marker was not implanted in the turf as firmly as it
should have been. At any rate, the marker turned end-over-end
and Wild Bill dropped his club and started to wring his hands,
while he executed a poor imitation of the Red Apple!
Everyone says business hasn't been so bad in Victoria. in
fact '.'18 to date has been a very
little further and you will find that means the tourist, crop has
been rood. and the tourist cron him hepn "onrl hpnnnuo nf tint

If Victoria is a fair example then 'resident Roosevelt is far
more popular among the "people one meets" in Canada than in
the United States. We have heard many compliments for the
American president in our wanderings, and the two papers are
waxing positively ecstatic (for Anglo-Saxon periodicals) over
the I'rcshjent's pledge of assistance if Canada should be in
vaded. In fact, today one hears pro-Roosevelt chatter every
where which of course is natural enough. It will bo interesting
to hear what Papa-in-Law Hearst thinks about this gratuitous
gesture of good will toward the British Umpire! By the way
a newspaper man in Seattle who claimed he had it straight from
Bocttiger, said Hearst is getting friendlier and friendlier to the
administration every day, and
Detoro VJi'J. Well as far as such
would be surprised, Hearst in

We wish the Saturday Kvening Post and .some other periodi
cals that maintain the only thing the matter with this country
is Franklin Delano Roosevelt would come up here and explain,
Why practically every ill Uncle Sam is suffering from is
prevalent up here and about the same methods are being
pursued by the government to correct them. Regimentation
did someone say, federal subsidies, the dest ruction of initiative
and self reliance!
Well they have the same unemployment problem up here,

For quite a while I have been

Man About
Manhattan
By OEUKtia rl'CKKH
NEW YORK- The other day a
thick -shouldered, prematurely gray
traveller got off a train and checked
Into a Manhat
tan hotel. That
night he was
guest of honor
at a dinner. Next
day he climbed
into an automo
bile and was
driven over aa
much of the city
as was possible
to cover In one
day. And the
next day he con
tinued his obser
vations. -
He even went into the sky to see
how New York looked from the air.
He visited the great amusement centers-Coney
Island. Music Hall, the
night clubs, the boxing arenas to see
what form of entertnlnment drew
beat in New York. And finally he
was satisfied.
"Yes," he said, "I like this. It will
do. I don't know Just where It will
be. but New York Is the right place
for it."
And so It became assured t.iat New
York Is to have a Hawaiian village, a
duplicate ofthe famous Lalanl vlllRge
In Honolulu.
You must not let the word village
make you think thta Is a PWA pro
ject. It Is the Idea of George P.
Mossman, who founded the original
village ten yeara ago.
Lalnnl vtllage, I Imagine. Is what
mlRht be called the last stronghold
of real Hawaiian culture. It la en
circled by a high wall and every day
a cross-section of life aa lived by
Hnwallans 300 years ago la reenacted.
There are grass huta. ror tne men
and grass huta for the women. The
native dances, the language, the cus
toms are taught and preserved. There
Is a helau l temple), and an Imu
(underKround ovenl where pigs are
roasted. Guides take you from point
to point, lecturing on a picturesque
form of living that has practically
disappeared. It la Mossman's idea to
rcsirve this culture through educa
tion. You enter the village about seven
at night and the ceremonies last two
or three hour. Thu Inchidee the
tour, the lectures, a luau (feastl.
tnu.uo. the hula, and finally the fa
mous fire dance In which a girl ap
peara to be dancing In flamea. to
appease the anger of th goddess of
the crater.
Mosaman thinks New York U a
good place for this village because
of th vast Interest shown by tourists
In the Islands, since his Tillage
opened he has had more than .000
student, and these students have
been overwhelmingly tourist class. He
doesn't know jtist when his plans
can he put Into effect, but he hopes
to havf t:i yiliag underway In an
other year.
TOO DIGESTIBLE
B. The restoration of plain wheat
to the diet Is highly desirable In
such cases, altho It Is difficult to
achieve it, because of the Inspired
propaganda that frightens these vic
tims of colon derangement away
from . auch "Indigestible" things as
plain wheat, wheat bran or wheat
germ.
I hesitate to mention all the
things I believe vitamin B pre
vents or cures, lest some of my col
leagues infer that I am indulging
In absurdities and It Is easy for .a
doctor to do that to the satisfac
tion of his unsophisticated patients:
Just aa easy aa it is for me to tel
here how things should be done In
medicine. But I shall endeavor to
acquaint people by easy stages with
the Importance of a liberal dally In
take of vitamin B.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Food and Cancer
Please let us have an expression
of opinion as to whether you and
the medical profession In general
consider certain Items of food or
drink as predisposing to the de
velopment of cancer and that the
use of such foods should bo limited
by those no longer young. W. A. J.
Answer I know of no such foods
Persons past middle age and not
physically active should abate on
the quantity of food, all kinds of
food, taken, that's all.
Vltnmlm In Milk
Does pasteurized milk contain vita
min G? Miss C. D. "
Answer Yes, natural raw milk,
pasteurized milk, even skim milk. Is
an excellent source of vitamin O. A
quart of milk a day practically guar
antees aiainst deficiency of vitamin
O In any diet.
Canning 1'rnceM
Have heard string beans home
canned are dangerous, and factory
canned are safer. Is that true of
canned chicken? Mrs. W. J. W.
Answer If the food is perfectly
fresh, not contaminated or bruised
by exposure or handling before can
ning, ic is safe. Any food, factory
or home canned, that looks, tastes
or smells at all "queer" when the
can Is opened, should be discarded.
Heating for half an hour after open
ing the can would destroy any botu
llnus toxin or poison In the food
tho not the spores of the botulism
germ.

Leonard Carpenter travelling in Central Europe writes
experiences to the Mail Tribune.
YOU would be surprised at the
numbers of educational books
which are consumed by our mem
bers. At this stage of the cruise
most of the males have dropped out
of the contest and are thinking of
good detectives but. Oh Boy I how
the older girls eat up the culture.
In the first place we are a ver-ry
cultured crowd with scarcely a New
Dealer in sight and many who know
more about the slavery In Athens,
Greece, than the present conditions
in Athens,' Georgia.
SECONDLY only the utterly de
praved or the reckless dare to
awerve from the appearance of erudi
tion. We gaze in united rapture at
Stele which turns out to be head
stones from some long buried grave
yard. We march over pagan ground
where once- a temple of beauty stood
to the wine god or to the goddess
of beauty in a long Christian line
trying to reconstruct the marbles,
battered to pieces by early Christian
beauty haters.
We take long, dusty drives to Del
phi or Troy where we find sites as
God made them, but very little left
la man made. But gradually as one
goes on from Greek spot to spot, the
very surroundings murmur of old
culture until quite apart from modern-myths
framed by travel agencies
there grows within you a deep rev
erent feeling.
WE should not talk of our debt to
Greece, but rather to Athens.
The city state of Athena which is
the fountain head of all western
culture, most of western science and
above all western democracy. For
about two hundred years after 500
B. C. the tale was told. For the first
tirre in the history of the world the
philosophy that life waa a pleasant
thing was advanced and believed.
After 300 B. C. two thousand years
slowly passed before that philosophy
was rediscovered, or as we say now,
waa reborn. The Rainessence Free
dom as opposed to tyranny first was
tried in 'Athens. Beauty was exalted.
Philosophy was brought to Its height.
You do not see this in present
Athens a great sprawling city. It Is
doubtful If the present race has any
blood relationship with the men and
women of the age of Pericles. You
do find It to a degree in the coun
tryside and In tha ruins and In the
museums.
WHAT have you ladteat Lipsticks
.t.j rouge, mirrors, hair pins, ear
rings, ropes of pearls, ornaments of
gold? So did your sisters of 4000
years ago. I have seen them. You
wear sandles this year of 1038, and
so did they. I do not know what
the loving wife gave to her husband
because no one wore neckties and
since there waa no tobacco the huge
list of gifts dedicated to My Lady
Nicotine was non-exlstant. At Ept
doms we visited a Greek theater
with seating capacity for 80.000 per
sons. It wss built In the hillsides
and was far from any city or town.
Close to tt. however, waa the ruin
of a very famous hospital built over
a hot spring. We know that all sorts
of famous people rame here with
hie retinues of friends, depend
ents, foil -wer .1 slaves. They prob
ably ramped in the surrounding
fields and hillsides. There was really
nothing to recall them home.
ATHENS today, again. Is almost
synonymous with Greece. Here
la the seat of government and of
all activities. The army and arma
ments together are ruining the coun
try financially. There was the war
against Turkey, which ended up with
the defeat of Greece and the expul
sion from Asia minor of more than
a million Greeks. There la the usual
money restrictions the fear, cf Italy
snd Oermany. the dropping away
of trade and the rise of tyranny. j

was his conspicuous situation aa one
of the Tory southern members of th

him to a higher political flight. He
comes from an Iron-clad conservative
district In Texas, and he waa the first
man in the bouse to denonuce the

of the foxy vice president's known
feelings on the alt-down strike epi
demic, and his known habit of guid
ing the steps of hla young fellow Tex
ans, the shrewd hand of Jack Garner
waa suspected behind tbla first Diet

The attention paid to the outburst
apparently excited Martin Dies. At
