Editorial Correspondence Overland Limited en route to Chicago December 17th: GoinR through the bad lands of eastern Novada now. Sage brush, alkali dips, tules, bare brown hills with little scams of snow on the higher peaks. A winding creek near the right of way is frozen solid. What a surface on which to skate, as smooth and clear as plate glass. But not a living thing in sight, animal or vegetable. A clear sunny day however. The drop in temperature as one passes through the train vestibules, en route to the diner, must be around 30 degrees, like summer inside; you can see your breath as soon as you step outside. They call this a "limited train" but there is nothing limited about it anymore, it's no faster than the "Challenger" which left half an hour before and is now ten minutes ahead. There was a tremendous mob at the ferry, getting their tickets "enveloped" for the "Challenger," only a baker's dozen for this train. There's a reason, the former gives comfortable, just as rapid transportation, at less money, the only drawback being second instead of first class accommodations. The crack trains on this line now are the "49'er" and the Streamliners, beat the Overland, from 14 to 21 hours, at from $10 to $15 extra fare. However the Overland is a very good train, com fortably filled and it fitted our schedule better than any other. Yes newspapers are very important advertisements to any community the travelling public judges a place by them. At breakfast this morning the Nevada State Journal of Reno came on with the orange juice, a surprisingly newsy paper but apparently without an editorial page at least we could find none) but with as many feature columns as we have ever found in one paper anywhere, Boake Carter, Westbrook Peglcr, General Hugh Johnson, Jimmy Fidlcr, Walter Winchell, Eleanor Roosevelt, Damon Runyon, Henry McLemore, Ty Cobb, Bob Burns, and a rather poor local performer Jack Rutlege. Such an array would indicate Reno is a pretty wide awake, sophis ticated community, with a high "T. Q." which is no doubt correct. And the following advertisements would lead one to assume, that if one wished a gay time, it could be supplied, Read 'em and don't weep: "The Dutchman 's Bar, wines liquors, beer, fancy drinks.

Reno incidentally calls itself "the biggest little city in the west", with no acknowledgement to the late John Ohvell, who used tho same phrase during Medford's boom days, 25 or 30 years ago. Only it was the "coast" instead of the "west." And John was right too, as those who were in Medford then will testify. When your correspondent first visited Medford in a swing around the circle every hotel, rooming and boarding house in the place was full to overflowing. We had to find a cot in the "tent city." That was in 1909. Ygh every eloud hna its silver lining, and that goes for the Silver Stale, Nevada. All in nil it's about as bleak and dismal and forbidding a prospect from a car window as this great nation nfi'ords, but according to our porter, taxes are lower hero than in any other state in the union. There is no state income tax, and practically no prohibitive laws whatever. Also, as everyone knows, divorces are easy and not too expensive. In other words Nevada found it tough going leading a God fearing respectable life, so she put down the moral bars so to speak, and is cashing in. We are not at all sure that easy virtue is going to pay in the long run, even in dollars and cents; but we OO know some law abiding citizens who would be willing to live in bell itself if they could escape income taxes!

Have to give the green one day a week to grow and rest. I hate like Tuesday suggesting any symptom here, but after all An ounce of prevention Is bitterer than a. pound of cure. Before we leave the subject of anoxia I need only mention that compara tively slight anoxia, as In altitude flying. Is probably accountable for otherwise Inexplicable aviation dis asters attributed to "pilot error." Among the effects of moderate oxy gen want are dulling of senses and Intellect without the person being aware of It, lowering of powers of sight, hearing, memory. Judgment, Irrational ideas, uncontrolled out bursts of emotion, disturbed muscu lar co-ordination. Such effects oc cur In anoxia from various Illnesses, such aa fever, pneumonia, septi cemia, as well as In chronic or moderate carbon monoxide anoxia and In high flying or mountain sick ness. They occur, too, In heart dis ease any kind of organic heart dis ease In which the heart's reserve power Is so reduced that the cir culation falls to supply enough oxy gen to satisfy the demands of the patient's ways of living. You see, a normal heart has power, say from A to E for the ordinary requirements of sedentary life or moderate work or play, and power I rrom e to k which it can put forth in an emergency. The E to K power I Is reserve power. Now suppose a ! valvular lesion develops, and with Man About Manhattan By (IKOHCIE TUCKER NEW YORK Tay Oarnett Is a di rector who operates Independently and he thinks his Job Is the most Interest 1 n g one In pictures. For Instance, when he isn't In Hol lywood or visit ing In New Yirk he Is usually to be found aboard some boat or ex ploring tropic is lands. That's how he found the Lac cadlves. and that's how Mrs. Oarnett came to be mistaken for tUCUa the queen of England. . . . But per haps I should explain that the Lac osdlves are a tiny group of atolls about 300 miles off the Malabar coast of India, and Tay was there to shoot background for a picture In which Fredrlc March plays the leading role. When they got there they discov ered no other white persons hsd been on the Islands in 45 years. In pos session of one of the chiefs was a faded photograph of Queen Mary. They didn't even know George V was dead, and probsbly they forgot that 4ft years make an appreciable dif ference In s womai'B appearance. So when Oarnetts party came ashore, and the natives found In Mrs. Oarnett a youthful end lovely woman, they became wildly excited and shouted many weird but friend ly messages. Nobody could Interpret the Jive until sn ancient school teacher who spoke a few words of KnitllM. explained thst the natives thought Queen Mary was honoring them with a visit. "ThAt was an atnaztng and In tere.Mlrw place." Oarnett recalled In his suite at the Waldorf. "The nat ives we re Moh a n . med a n a and h sd what may be called A Blbltoal cast to their features.

They brought a baby to me that was HI, and H seemed to me the child was underfed. 1 gave It some canned milk diluted with water nd In sn hour the child was all right again. In their eyes I became a pow erful medicine man and was besieged with requests t cure the people's ills.

Fortunately we got sway before MP Brady M P. each heart beat a portion of the blood leaks back through the dam aged valve. In order to still pump enough blood Into the aiterles the heart must pump more at each beat than the normal quantity, to com pensate for the backflow. It does this by drawing on the reserve power. Therefore, a heart wi:h a valvular Insufficiency has to use power, ray from A to O even when the Individual !s at rest, and has a coirespondingly limited reserve to put fortb In any emergency, only from - O to K. The margin of reserve power Is the determining factor In the prog nosis of not only valvular trouble but every other form of heart dis ease. Husbanding reserve power by REST or Increasing It by GRADU A TED EXERCISE are prime factors In the treatment of heart disease, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Boots I have to work outside this winter, much of the time In mud and water. la It best to wear rubbers or arctic overshoes or rubber boots In which you can't wear any shoes but only stocking feet? I mean how Is rheumatism best a?oided?- J. D. Answer1 Wear whatever foot cov ering you find most comfortable In the circumstances. No objection to wearing rubbers or rubber boots without shoes if they are most satis factory. Such exposure to cold and wet has nothing to do with any of the Ills called "rheumatism" so far aa we know. I should think socks with thick soft wool feet would give most comfort, whether you wear shoes and arctics or rubbers, or no shoes and rubber boots. Immunization The baby received diphtheria shots when he was six months old. Later a Schick test showed he was not Im mune. He received more diphtheria shots. At age of 1 years he had diphtheria. Later another Schick test showed he still was not immune. Mrs. H. L. B. Answer If the child's attack of diphtheria did not render him im mune. I doubt whether all the toxln-ant 1 toxin or toxoid or any number of Schick tests can do any more In that direction. Every child, preferably before the age of one year, certainly before going to nur sery school or klndeigarten should receive from the family physician the standard Immunisation against diphtheria. For older children the Schick test-Is quite reliable; for In fants under two years It is not so rellnble they should all be consid ered susceptible, not immune, and receive the Immunization treatment, or "shots." as the one-syllable class call them.

Their coming means winter's spptoach. Some have raised their broods as fsr north ss the Arctic circle. When snow comes, some go as far south as Guate mala. Others winter with us. Young btrd lovers teat their sharp ness of vision by finding who can be first of s nature study field excursion to see the ruby flash of these restless birds. Even those who cannot see the elusive red of the kinglet, enjoy, nevertheless, red berrying, for holiday decoration. The redberry bids fair to win as honored a place tn the Pacific coast folklore as has similarly the holly berry of England. The California redberry, sometimes called "holly berry." Is not a true holly, tt belongs to the tose family t ike the wild rose, it has the power to extract from the soil the red coloring common to the need covers of both. The fruit of the wild rose is utlltred throughout Nordic or UpM -hatred Europe, in flavoring Jellies. This Is a hit of cookeir wis dom handed down from Viking time. Similarly the Indians had a way to prepare the redberry. or "Toyon." as they called It. It made quite a welcome addition to their d;et. Birds are fond of redberry seeds. They are attracted by the bright color. It Is through this that tht toyon now ranges from up north to the Mexican line. Respect fully, C. M. OOFTHK Sacramento. Calif., Dec, 14. 19;8 asi Discount on all Ready To Wear and Hats ETHEL WYN B HOFFMANN Comment on the Days News By FRANK JENKINS MANY people look upon advertis ing aa s miracle worker of come sort. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Advertising Is merely a salesmen that calls on more pros pects than the seller could AFFORD to call on In any other way. 1 NEARLY every successful ssles manager will tell you that the best salesman Is the one that calls on tho MOST PROSPECTS. Advertising calls on more pros pects, and calls on them OFTENER, than any other salesman can pos sibly hope to do. That Is why advertising sells goods. IP you are to be a successful seller of goods, your salesman must be WELCOME. The unwelcome salesman makes, few aales. The newspaper is always welcome. Every day It is Invited into nearly every home in the community. Not only Is It Invited. It Is EXPECTED. If it doesn't arrive. Inquiry U Im mediately mads as to Its where abouts. When It arrives, It Is given the undivided attention of those who are expecting it. Any salesman will tell you that such a reception provides the ideal setting for making sales. WHO really sells goods, anyway? Is It the manufacturer? Is It the wholesaler? It Is NEITHER. It is the retailer. No sale Is complete until the goods have moved off the shelves of the retailer and Into the hands of the final consumer. When goods pile up on the retailer'a shelves, business goes into a tallspln and the manu facturer closes down and the whole saler goes broke. Newspaper advertising sells more goods at retail than all other forms of advertising combined, for news paper advertising Is the overwhelm lng choice of retailers who seek a salesman that can keep their mer chandise moving, steadily off their shelves and Into the hands of cus tomers. BUT bear in mind that no miracles are worked by advertising news paper or any other kind. Advertising sells goods by the simple process of calling regularly and frequently on prospective customers and describing simply and accurately what Is for sale. Advertising is Just a plain, hard working salesman that calls on more prospects than any other salesman can hope to reach. That is the sole reason for Its success. ury is satisfied the credlta can be extended. Under the circumstances, the presi dent and Morgenthau are confronted by an exceedingly thorny question. Both believe ardently In the new poltcy'a wisdom. Both realize that, even If conRrase In the end approves, a re-sort to congress la sure to Involve them In a prolonged row. The ques tion Is. therefore, whether or not to carry the new policy up to capltol hill for approval. Aa has been point ed out, the new policy means the use of America's best weapon, the vast supply of credit. In an open attack on the authoritarian nations. That, being a departure from the ancient tradition of Isolationism, la a com plete break with the past. Therefore, whether or not they have adequate powers, the president and Secretary Morgenthau are likely to take their new policy to congress. To make such a move without congressional ap proval ts too dangerous. They have already prepared three effective arguments to make to the lawmakers. The first la simply that every American Ideal and principle I now endangered by the march of Fascism. Munich has left no one else to defend our ideals and principles. We must do so ourselves, and the sooner we belgn. the better our chance of winning out. Then there la the economic argu ment, which Is that major world trade Is roughly divided three ways, between the United States, the Sterl ing bloc nations, and the authoritar ian nations. The Sterling bloc is slipping. The authoritarians are gaining. If the United States wants to guard Its position, and get its share of new business, this country must beat th authoritarian, at thelt own game. And finally there la the argument of economy, that it's much cheaper to pass out a few hundreds of millions tn loans to countries whose strength means our suength. than It would be to build battleships enough to take on Japan and Ger many There need be no doubt that the new policy la the kind of break with j the Isolationist past which Is describ ed above. The $35,000,000 Chinese credit, which must be taken together with the plana tor South America, j showa that, tn the dicuion lead- The Capital Parade (Continued rrom Page One ) lng up to the Chinese credit, the cautious Stats department sctuslly raised the question that It was too late to assist the armies of Chiang Kai-Shek. The problem was studied with care, and st length maps con vinced the president thst the road from Burma would be practicable for the transport of supplies. The S25. 000.000 Is expected to be used for American trucks snd gasoline to carry Chiang's war materials over the Burma road. And If lending money for such a purpose is s neutral act, then John L. Sullivan was the great est passive resistance man In recent history. Ye Poets Cornei Christmas By Louise Hedges It Is Christmas on the mountain.
