"Thero Is the old proverb
about the Impossibility of mak

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

If they got a chance. Sunday night
the people proved It In part when

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.

And if any Democrat, or person, sympathetically disposed

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.

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.

went Into his lung, would like to
have It X-rayed. (Mrs. R. L. K.)
Answer There Is no such possl

decide about X-ray yourself. Leave
that to the Judgment of your phy

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.

it not cause a lot of us to wonder

Ed note: In all It comments on
this measure the Mall-Tribune has
urged Its readers to READ the bill,

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.

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.

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
OREGON will elect a U. 8. senator.
November 8. 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.
