Of course nothing erected by human hands is perfect. And the new capitol is no exception. But to listen to general conversation one would think it a rival for Westbrook Pegler's sculptural monstrosity, knock, knock, knock, all over the town. Having just returned' from a tour of the edifice we feel the cause is not the building so much as public psychology the rank and file for some reason feel disgruntled, and disposed to take it out being an excellent excuse as everyone who comes to Sulem, . Of course the outside of the are disappointing, but no one the people of Oregon. As was matter of a new capitol came for the ages, nof for the moment, and particularly not for the worst economic depression in the history of the modern world. With practically everyone owning a car and those who don t being able to get a bus have been built on a spacious, on the old site (which should city park), but on a new one. The ground around . and the approach to a capitol make up at least 50 percent of the impression, and the proper background for the new building should nave been the iJKST But the Legislature decided doubt that a majority of the their action. So the new edifice was placed, where it shows up to the worst advantage, is the result.

Some of the beautiful wood paneled rooms might be at 100 Wall Street, the massive fixtures and furni ture also, but they impressed us as comfortable and in good taste, which is the main thing, and there 'was nothinir vncni or symbolic or modernistic about the "decor," which was a great renei. The senate and house assembly rooms, also wood nnnnlp.l and with thick carpets on -the floor, appropriately marked with Oregon fir designs, looked a bit small but an employee polishing the speaker's desk assured us thev are not. Thev are wonderfully lighted from windows which some say are placed so high up no one can look out this will be bad, for legislators like to look out and see the rain come down and tne pretty stenographers raise their colored umbrellas, etc., etc. But no doubt the architect of Oregon should approve of Under the G.A.R. dome bv Oregon seal imbedded in the compass are marked "N.

Here is another: ' "The mind of man knowa no employment more worthy of Its powers than the quest of righteousness In human affairs; no goal of Its labors that Is superior to the discovery of the good In the guldsnce of life." That's better! And insido the building this isn't bad: "In the soul of Its citizens will be found the likeness of the stste which If they be unjust and tyrannical then will it reflect their vices, but it they be lovers of righteousness, confident In their liberties, so will It be clean In Justice, bold In freedom." i As an amendment one miirhr ari.l ITV'r.vsa ". : . . c.--- ii communist wo trust win reaci mat. nungo otton and Dropped in to sav hello to Un years) than when he conducted tli Mail Trii on ,... ago, but ho doesn't look it.

S. P. and B. P.) and sometimes as i drop chalk. Ten grains of prepared chalk (say two five-grain tablets) will neutralize excessive acidity for several hours. If preferred It may be taken In the form of chalk mix ture .(Mlstura Cretae, U.S.P.), two teaspoon fuls of which would repre sent about eight grains of calcium carbonate. Chalk mixture alone, or combined with astringent medicine is an old standby In the treatment of acuto diarrheas. Calcium carbonate or chalk has advantages over bicarbonate of soda (sodium bicarbonate, saleratus), mag nesia and other alkalis. It does not generate gas by "reacting with acid In the stomach as does soda. It does not form laxative salts aa the pro duct of that reaction. It does not upset 'the acid-base balance In the blood and tissues.

"Kyser and. as you know, Hal Kemp, both started at the U. of N. C' and both attained big time quickly, although Kemp's rise was a hit more rapid, as he started first. Kyser is completely a showman hardly an orchestra leader. Watch him and the band and you'll recog nize this. He never Meads.' h merely starts the band at each number. He throws In clog and soft shoe steps as he talks to his audience. He's an expert tap dnncer and at UNC he put on many musical comedies in which he took dancing and comedy parts. "This showmanship, rather than orchestra leading, has aided him in shooting to the top. for he has the abll'.ty to Interest an audience In himself, thus throwing Interest on the band which. In the last two years, has Improved remarkably. Kay says this Is because he threw senti mentality overboard and hired him self some A-l mu.Mclans. ' Sully Mason, sa x of Du rhs ni , N. C.

Kyser, too. originated the 'slngtnz title' business of crooning a few bars of each song Jyit as the orchestra be gins to play It.

It is all right to take two or three doses of calcium carbonate day, and perhaps the best time to take it In relation to meals Is hour or two before or after meal time. There Is no point In taking such a remedy regularly or habit ually, but rather It should be used from time to time for relief of dls tress or discomfort from the symp toms mentioned.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS A JUDGE in New York (a woman Judge, by the way) sent a woman home from her court the other day with Instructions to "wash the paint, lipstick and eyeshade off your face; that sort of thing makes a woman look like a painted clown." And the absence of It (this from a mere man) often makes her look like a worn-out washwoman. Bo take your choice. A STOCK argument against paint, lipstick, etc., Is that If the good Lord had meant women to look like that he'd have made 'em that way. Maybe. But if the good Lord had meant grown men to have smooth faces he'd have made 'em without beards. The men haven't anything to be self-righteous about. (It's the private opinion of this writer that if women never did any thing worse than paint their faces and men never did anything worse than shave this world would be much better than It Is.) HONEST, now, wouldn't It be rather nice to go back, at least for a little while, to the good old days when Issues suchas these could stir up an argument In almost any com munity? In those days nobody had ever heard of totalitarianism, economic security, fascism and such, but nearly everybody had enough to eat and It was usually possible for a kid Just out of school to get a Job. WHILE we're on the subject of modern troubles, here Is an In teresting paragraph from a Wash ington dispatch: . "The social security board has just reported that probably about 20.800,000 received public assist ance In the United States during July." That's approximately one person out of each six. Rather startling. Isn't It? WHY Is one person out of each six compelled to accept relief In this richest country on earth? This writer can't answer that question, but has an idea that If we'd forget our hatreds, our Jealousies and our rival ries and Instead of 'FIGHTING each other would WORK TOGETHER, each seeing the other's viewpoint, things would be very much better Indeed. Communications Further Light To the Editor: I see that my good friend J. C. Barnes has had another brain storm and written the president about It. "J. C." Is without doubt the out standing economic student of this "neck - of - the - woods" and deserves credit for his outbursts. "J. C." handles two questions. The cull pear part Is just a matter of establishing some Industry to use them as Its raw material. I am Interested In his economic question and would like further light on that phase. I am wondering If the status of the"SociaI Credit bank" Is meant to be the same as the Fed eral Reserve bank, which Is supposed to be part of the International bank ers setup and owned by them, or will It be a strictly government Institu tion? Would this Involve the taking back by the government the exclusive right to print currency? There Is enormous profit In currency printing or coinage and the government should have it. Who would be the legal owners of the bonds you speak of and how would they eventually be liquidated, or is that one of those government things that never "liquidate"? In your matter of distribution of this money why not go at least partly as far as Townsend and give- the old folks a large amount and then leave It to the business ability of the "rest of us" to legitimately get It away from them, thus creating legitimate business? The phase of refinancing the mu nicipal debt is a right direction In solving the tax burden as the "Inter est on bonded Indebtedness" and "relief" are a good part of the "tax load." We had a small example of "con trolled abundance of money" when the soldiers got their "bonus"; that caused quite an upswing of business for several months. How much money does J. C. think It would take to "do the trick"? Dr. Townsend has It figured at about 18 billion dollars per year, or possibly a better way to put It would be to say Hj billion per month. hleh would have to be spent Immediately. And finally, would not the Town send plan do your trick for you? The racing of the money by the trans actions or gross income tax would not interfere with the federal reserve, or the "money changers" and really would have far less opposition for Its adoption. The whole matter of the "J. C." plan and the Townsend plan 1 that it will take a whale of a lot more "money in circulation" to bring us out of our economic troubles than any of the existing methods Is pro ducing: and it is going to have to be money that is very easy to get.

And the enforcement would be suc cessful If the Spanish embargo can be taken as an Indication. To date, the state department has prevented about fifty attempted arms ship ments to Spain, and only three have slipped through. Section three of the act forbidding American credits to belligerent na tions, would also be Immediately enforced. Both It and section one are mandatory. As for the non-mandatory provisions, they would be calmly Ignored. In the event of war. Great Britain and France will be able to purchase American foodstuffs and hospital supplies. But that will be of no great help to the democracies. Amer ican experts nave recently completed a SUrvev Of the com oa rati va war strengths of the democracies and the fascist nations. The results are char acterized as "friehtenine ." Both France and Great Britain are seri ously deficient In airplanes, bombs, some kinds of artlllerv and manv I other essentials of modern warfare. The fascist nations, on the other hand, are far better supplied than nny but the worst alarmists had sup poses Thus the deep seriousness of neu trality law application. Of course, the mandatory features of the law are heartily disliked by everyone In the legislative branch, from the president down. There Is more than a chance that. If war comes, the president will convene a special ses sion of congress and ask for their repeal. This, too, is understood to have been discussed. The more remote question of re peal Is also deeply serious. If the democracies can ?lthstsnd the fas cist onslaught for the first four or five months, It's generally calculated that they can win. But even so. thev will need war supplies. And they can find additional war supplies only In the United States. The truth Is that Aairrlcsn Isola lonlsm may soon be confronted with Its severest test.
