PUT WHAT OF IT (Press IMspateh) "Thero Is the old proverb about the Impossibility of mak ing a silk purao out of a sow's ear and there Isn't a word of truth in It, Wentworth said. He explained how collagen had been taken from a sow's ear and the gelatin spun through a fine die to a chemical solution which made the thread tough. The dried thread, shining sa any pro ' duct of .the allkworm's tolling and spinning, was made Into a silken knitted purae." Farmers continue to pray for rain, for fall plowing. It la suspected the farmer'a oldest boy, who wtll do the plowing, sneaks off behind the barn and prays, counter to Paw and for smnnhlne. It has long been the cynical claim of skeptics the American people, or a goodly portion thereof, would be lieve anything once, and vote for It. If they got a chance. Sunday night the people proved It In part when thry became panlr-strlcken and hys terical over a realistic radio drama, depicting an Imaginary Invasion from Mars. It was a tribute to the power ot s well-trained voice spouting into a microphone In swaying the masses. Heretofore, they have been as se verely charmed. 8undny night was the first time they have been scared All will recover.

Not So Surprising OF COURSE it U easy to be superior and laugh at "these uneducated morons, and half baked neurasthenics," who fled trom Sunday night ' fake broadcast in terror, But how many of those who criticize listened to the broad cast themselves, particularly how many tuned in after the announcement that the broadcast was a fake had been made, and therefore had no reason to suspect, it wasn't bona fide. It is always so easy to be wise AFTER the event. B UT do you remember when of the burning Zeppelin came over the air, that graphic, breath-taking eye-witness account, caught up, entirely by acci dent t Well this broadcast of H. 0. Wells' "War of the Worlds" was based upon that unforgettable radio epio, and to say it; was skillfully done is to be guilty of understatement. As radio scripts no it was a masterpiece, Bnd delivered by a genius. Who can blame one, tuning in, in the middle of such a graphic, convincing eye-witness account, from thinking it an other Zeppelin tragedy, only on a larger scale, the long feared and often dramatized invasion of the United States from the air, had really come at last! THE present writer didn't hear the broadcast, but he did' answer a number of phone calls to this office immediately after, asking what the Mail Tribune had on the wire regarding it. Most of the inquiries were calm enough, no panic or hys terical alarm showed in their voices at least but they cred ited the broadcast sufficiently to want a "check-up." One or two, however, were genuinely hysterical, and ready to jump into the family bus and beat it for the Pacific. That was amusing of course, to one who had just been reading the wire, and knew if anything so fantastically hor rendous had occurred, or anything approaching it, the wire would have been nothing but a succession of flashes, and the latest ghastly details. But after talking with one of the victims, we had a some what different view of it. SHE yes it was a she and a comparatively young one, had tiitipff in when the hrnnnVnRter. in a voire nf extreme terror. and tho most awesome dramatic commentator at the Zeppelin disaster had declared he didn't know how much longer he could stick to the microphone that the broadcast tower might go at any moment, etc., etc. In intense, "Walter-Winehell" staccHto flashes, he pictured the advancing hordes from the New Jersey marshes, negotiat ing the Hudson river, moving inexorably toward the wall of sky-scrapers, piercing them like card paper, while bombs drop ped from above, and a gas (that no gas mask could combat), floated in greenish-yellow waves nearer and nearer! Reports that Chicago and St. Louis had been similarly attacked also, no part of the country safe, etc., etc No word that this was an invasion from Mars, or any other planet, at least this young lady heard none, and fed on war news as she had been for years wars without any warning convinced that in a world so torn with strife and sudden unde clared invasions as this one ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN, small wonder that alone in the house, she was looking around for a storm cellar I WE HAVE un idea about the same proportion of victims were hysterical elsewhere, as here, largely youngsters or people emotionally unbalanced, not more than 5 of those who listened in, and the latter one-half of one percent of the one percent of 130,000,000 people makes quite a sizeable party to go beserk quite enough to make the front page headlines, with a banner. SO WHAT? What IS the moral Tlmt wa srs a rtAiirnRthpuiiv erate and undisciplined people! Not at all. The radio is merely a comparatively new medium of infor mation, and as a news medium it has certain weakness, which have not as yet been generally recognized. One is its fragmentary character. Another is, it registers only with one senso, the hearing. Another is, it leaves no record, to reinforce the memory it cornea quickly and when it goes, it goes forever, one can't read it over and check up to be sure of what it docs, or Had more frequent announcements, that the broadcast was fiction been made, there would have been no serious trouble. Had those who listened in, listened to the entire program, there would have been none. i But with too few explanations, tit least after the real nar rative had started and with, as is alwayg true, so many break ing in merely for a brief time, The unfortunate reaction was inevitable. Is W. P. A. AFKW week ago, an odoriferous aoandal broke in tne ranks nf (1ia WPA in 'w MeTieo. Various anH an'nitrv officials. named by the Pemoeratio state machine, were indieted by the grand jury, for misusing WTA funds and being guilty of various degrees of graft and corruption. Quite naturally the general yon so. hat can you expcetwhen the federal relict set-up is nothing but a political racket, and has been from the outset. Human misery is being exploited politicians on the publio payroll, And if any Democrat, or person, sympathetically disposed toward the Koosrvelt administration should have suggested, this wasn't true, that there are about as many crooks in one parly as the other, and if the Democrats WKKK kicked out and the 100',! Kcpublicaiis brought in, New .Mexico, would probablv continue, such a slateincnt would he discounted as merely more partisan buncombe another effort to alibi teacher's pel, F. P. K. OUT when not only a 100 Republican, but a famous one, and a former member of the national Q.O.P. board of strategy, says something to this iteneral effect perhaps, perhaps it will be given some consideration. At any rate that .is why we are reprinting the following editorinl by William Allen While, Republican chieftain, in his Kmporia (Kansas) (.iawttei that extraordinary broadcast diction, declared, as the radio represented no doubt, less than people. But 5 of one-half of t entnl.innallv unbalanced, illit doesn't mean. a Racket? liopublican reaction was, "1 told to keep a bunch of crooked etc., etc." conditions such as exist today in WPA GRAFT A big scandal hss turned up In New Mexico, Involving a number of leading politicians who are swindling through the WPA. Don't blame relief. Don't blsme the WPA. Don't Warns anybody but the grafters. New Mexico has always been a graft ing state. There Is no reason why. In a state where graft Is a conventional practice, the WPA should be sacrosanct. Tens of thoussnds of New Mexicans are Illiterate. Their votes are con trolled In blocks. Money talks. In that kind of a stste there has to be graft. For to get money to do the talking, politicians generally have to steal It one way or another. Having stolen It In graft they spend It in corrupting the voters. Wherever the little white school house Is absent from the land, the dirty little Jail takes Its place. Education Is not the only hope for salvation In a democracy, but without education there la no hope. Orafttng In the PWA In New Mexico Is a natural way to expect the WPA would function In that state.

All BOUND Back In the days of th almanac the dictum that a dally bowel move ment was essential for every one and "1 n a c live" bowel function a c c o u n ted for whatever ailed the dumb cus tomer, was broad cast as widely as the quacks and nostrum mongers could circulate their free bait. Upon that die turn, which was left unquestioned for a century or more to permeate tne popular mind. rests the morbid notion, still preva lent, that the first principle In the maintenance of health, prevention of disease and cure of Illness is to procure by whatever means a "thor ough' movement of the bowel. This vicious teaching, I say, was arorpted as the truth by the great unlearned latty simply because for a century or more the medical pro fession hypocritically did not see fit to oppose it. Dignified silence, the old timers called their attitude. Even today the doctors still Ret away with murder In thnt way and how they unarl and gnash their teeth when some of their more flagrant sins of commission or omission are exposed to public view! Unlearned lalthy, I say, referring, of course, not to the average lay man's knowledge of history, geo graphy or romance languages, but to his knowledge of the human body and how It works. In this depart ment of learning the college or uni versity graduate is scarcely distin guishable from the regular moron. Tho human body and Its functions Is a subject which great American educators have always regarded as nasty. In the enrller days the quarks and nostrum mongers unequivocally declared In the almanac that It was risky to let your bowels go without a cleaning out at stated Intervals. Today the charlatans, can vassing the public via radio, drive that same suggestion home but rather by Indirect means and con-, stant repetition. That's their busi ness to keep prospective customers scared or anxious about the vague toxic consequences of any "slug gishness' in the secretion of bile or In perlstnlsls. It Is nobody's business to tell the truth, to leach the poor Ignorant college graduate elementary physi ology. One gets only blows In the dark and attacks from ambush for trying to enlighten the latty about such things. Not only the Intestinal functions Man About Manhattan Hy OKOROE TUCKER NEW YORK Somebody at the meeting of the Society of American Magicians came tip with the aug ram I on that Black Cat day be set adde each year In honor of tho late Harry How dint, and I am all in favor of the Idea. Black Cat day of course, la Hal- lowe'en. and It was Just 13 years ago Houdlni died. Twelve years can bring great change In many phases of life, but the Houdtnl 1 n f 1 u e n c e Is probahiy stronger today than It ever was. Twenty-eight magic societies haw pledged themselves to support the snnual Houdlni day Idea, and the only contention la whether it shall he known as Houdtnl day or simply National Magic day. Which reminds us of the time Paul Duke was playing a theater In ft Pennsylvania tank town, and his act wasn't going over so well. His ledger demalu somehow Just wasn't coming off. and the audience, becoming res tive, began tossing little verbal brick hats at the har.wd magician. "Sk you're a magician!" boomed a scornful voice in the audience. . . . "Ye. I am, and what do you want to make of It!" Duke screamed back. "Then." continued the voice, "how come you can't fill these seats in the balcony." And that, the Puke admits, taught him never to argue with a guy sitting out front. Incidentally. Chester Morris turned up at a meeting of the American Msgieians on a recent vutt to New York and showed himself to be quite adept at the magic trade. He gives a lot of his time to H on the coast, and so does Harold Moyd, the film comedian. Here i what they re saying. Ann Brady, M P. UP WITH A LINE but all of the processes of diges tion, from the lnsant food la swal lowed to the Instant the residue Is expelled from the alimentary canal, are governed by the unconscious, autonomic. Involuntary, "sympathe tic" nervous mechanism, and not at all by wtll or brain. It la as childish to Imagine you can "reg ulate" the bowel by means of this or that medicine as It would be to make a practice of taking a mild diaphoretic every day or a more vigorous one once a week to keep your Imaginary "pores" clear so your system could "throw off' hypothet ical "toxic wastes" such as the nos trum vendors conjure up to frighten you. QUESTIONS AMI ANSWERS lAtst, a Tack Husband, upholsterer, swallowed a tack. It may have gone down his windpipe Into his lung. He did not gag much and he has felt no dis tress. If there Is a possibility It went Into his lung, would like to have It X-rayed. (Mrs. R. L. K.) Answer There Is no such possl blllty. But It would be foolish to decide about X-ray yourself. Leave that to the Judgment of your phy sician. If the tack went Into the stomach. It waa probably soon em bedded In a ball or ma of food residues and passed from the bowel within 40 to 48 hours from the time it was swallowed. Port ill He Death Please give your opinion as to the effect on health of using a port able kerosene burner for a - heater for bedroom or bathroom in the winter. (S. K.) Answer Any lamp or stove or burner that burns any kind of fuel coal, wood, kerosene, crude oil, gasoline, gas. is dangerous to health and a men..ce to life If used In a small room where the stove has no stove pipe to carry products of com bustion up the chimney or out of the house. Emergency Treatment of Burns I w I sh you wou id gl ve In con - venlent form some practical sugges tions for treating burns In the home, what to keep on hand to use In such emergencies, etc. Mrs. R. o. Aaswcr Keep on hand a copy of "The Medicine Cupboard" for your copy send 35 cents coin and stamped addressed envelope bearing your ad dress. It Instructs you how to man age the first aid treatment of burns and many other household emer gencies. (Copyright. 1938, John P. Dille Co.)

Southern, after seeing Maurtce Evans In "Hamlet" "I think It Is a shame for Shakespeare to be taught In high school.

Communications Who Are The Vsoclnted Farmers? In the reading of several articles commenting on the antl-tabor bill, which I presume la aa stated that the bill is sponsored by the Associ ated Fe-rmera of Oregon and wish ing to reserve my opinion as to the relationship between all farmers and organlred labor, what oecura to me is the dlrevt attempt made In which the most vital elements of this bill are kept In the background whereby the average reader is not speculative enough to acquaint themselves with the entire nature of this bill, and a thought that comes to me as a reader of these various comments In seeing the names of various people who are definitely classed by their vocation as employers representing themselves as farmer and adwat in- the necessity of passage of this bill, and upon further reading of the state granges who hav dviarrd themselves as not being in favor of his bill, when the grange are com. posed of the representative group cf ibe farmer within the state, does it not cause a lot of us to wonder Just who are the Associated Farm ers of Oregon t JACK LONO, 310 W. Main St, Medford, November lit. Ed note: In all It comments on this measure the Mall-Tribune has urged Its readers to READ the bill, take no one's word for 1U character and purpose, but FORM THEIR OWN OPINION. If our correspondent will investigate he will find many Orange members and many farmers DIRT farmers In favor of this measure and working for it. Favors Transaction Tax Bill To the editor: To the liberal minded the advances made in liberalizing the general con servatlveness of mankind are and always have been slow, particularly In the field of sociology, tardiness has been considered a virtue. President Roosevelt in one of his "Fireside Chats," emphasized delay in the enactment of amendments to the social security act, in order that "no crack-pot or unsound financial plan be adopted," (Townsenders may take notice). Not long since the aged, the world over, were cast on the scrap-heap without pricks of conscience on the part of the public or of officials in positions of political power; and. past hlstry shows that usually a revolu tion of violence or of radical Intel lectual change has been required to right political or social wrongs that have through long spaces of time been permitted, because of inaction cn the part of the sufferers, who finally embittered with their lot have resorted to revolutionary action, vio lent or otherwise. Over 140 years ago the French Revolutionary Organization Issued a decree: July 38. 1793. that set up a system of relief for aged persons; thts decree gave a half pension to those of 60 and a two-thirds pension at 65 and a full pension to those of 70 years or over. That pension was then equal to 9200.00 per year In United States money of the pres ent time. Compare that with Oregon state relief pensions (so called), of $7 to 15 per month or In some special cases a higher sum; yet, the fact remains that the vast majority of aged Oregon citizens who have re ceived relief have been paid . the small sums. Why the word RELIEF, in Oregon, instead of PENSION? PENSIONS go to the well-to-do; RELIEF to paupers. Oregon Is 140 years behind the humanitarian law of France that gave their aged citizens more per year in pensions than Is paid aged citizens In the Enlightened State of Oregon. Tuesday. November 8. next week. the voters of Oregon will have a chance to vote on a measure that will provide a decent pension to Ore gon citizens over 65, who may be able to qualify, (See ballot number 314). One should not "skip it!" as once advised In an M. T. editorial, but each voter should avail the oppor tunity to vote on this measure on election day, and the way one votes Is one's own business. W. W. TRUAX, Medford, Ore.. Nov. 1, 1938. Praise for Two Jacksonville Men To the Editor: The annual drive for the Commu nity Chest Is over and the public has rejTOonded generously. Much praise Is due those firms and indi viduals who subscribed 100 per cent to this cause. The Chest Usta among lt beneficiaries the Boy and Girl Scout organizations, two great character-building forces. I wish to pay tribute to two local men who quietly and with no thought of self-interest and no re muneration and in addition to other interests, which demand most of their time have for years lent a helping hand to the boys of Jack sonville and vicinity. As everyone knows, there are no places of amusement In Jacksonville for the growing boy other then the card-rooms and beer-parlors, and no chance of obtaining employment in so small a town for thow urgent expenses of ambitious boys who must work during high school years." Judge Frank Tou Velle has proven himself an understanding friend to the boys of Jacksonville, aiding them In securing employment, encouraging them In their desire for an education in many practical ways. Fatherless boys have grown tip and gone away from thts little village to make good In their respective fields, remembering with gratitude the en couragement and help of this kindly man who having no sons himself yet seems to understand the heart of a boy. "When a feller needs a friend" in Jacksonville he goes to Judge Tou Velle. Erie White Is another citizen who has given tirelessly of his time and energy to help boys through a trying period of their lives with his program of Scout work. All honor and praise to these and other upstanding, decent men who are doing a great work In trying to neip ooys to hang on to their Ideals In a topsy-turvy world and to feel that If thev have the stuff anrf trv hard enough there's a place for them in the sun.

It seems likely now that the whole future course of events In this country will be affect ed sharply by the kind of men com posing the next senate. It la high time for Oregon to be thinking of the kind of senator she will send to Washington this fall. THIS writer knows Willis Mahoney, and. as an Individual, likes htm. This liking has survived several more or less rough-and-tumble disagree ments as to matters of public policy. Perhaps It has even been STRENGTH ENED by these wholly Impersonal tiffs. It often works that way, you know. Mahoney la pleasant and agreeable to tAlk to, and Is engagingly frank in discussing his own prospects. One feels at ease with him. RUFU8 HOLMAN. so far as we are concerned, is personally unin teresting even tiresome. In manner, he is Inclined to be pompous, and gives the Impression of egotism, al though it Is doubtful if at heart he is an egotist. In cenversation, he seems to "talk down" to you, al though again. In Justice to him. It should be said that he probably Isn't conscious of it. He's Just built that way no personal "umph." DESPITE these differences In the two men, however, this writer will VOTE FOR HOLMAN for senator. MAHONEY'S technique la to prom ise 'em whatever they think they want, and then use his Judgment af terward. He Is generally looked upon as a radical (or at least a far-to-the- left liberal) but if he Is elected and j sentiment turns conservative he will be a distinct disappointment to his j radical admirers. If the pendulum j swings toward the conservative side, ' Mahoney will swing with it or per- haps a Jump ahead of It. His political philosophy Is that' getting elected Is the objective, end whatever helps toward the objective Is all right. HOLMAN hss certain stubborn convictions. One of these con victions is that if you go on spend ing more then you take In you'll GO BROKE. If he thought every member of the senate was against him, he'd still cling to this conviction. If he thought every voter in Oregon was against htm, he'd probably still cling to it. On a matter of fixed principle, you can always put your finger on him, IN the past five snd a half years, this nation has Jumped from one half-baked experiment to another with the unstable agility of a flea on ft hot stove. It has spent money not merely like one drunken sailor but like half a dozen drunken sailors vle lng with one another to see which one can be the most reckless. If It hadn't been the greatest and richest coun try on earth. It would already be where France Is now which is at the edge of bankruptcy. If ever a nation needed to get back to fundamentals. It Is ours. THB! only way to get back to fun damentals Is to send men of fixed principle to congress. That Is why this writer will vote for Rufus Holman. who Is personally exasper ating. Instead of Willis Mahoney. who Is personally sgrcrnble.
