This river was a veritable mecca for anglers from far and wide who sought the acme of sport a battle with the fighting Steelhead of the Rogue. Chamber of Commerce leaflets have, in rast years- been filled with superlatives describing this famous river, teeming with its silvery denizens eagerly awaiting the fly. The Rogue's reputation was well deserved; each ypar this stream attracted an army of Isaac Waltons. It is a regrettable fact that this picture lias changed in recent years. . TriE upper Rogue that portion above Bybee's bridge, is no longer the grand fishing stream of a few years ago. Looking facts squarely in the face, the angler and especially he guest who is not experienced in fishing thiB stream who hooks a Steelhead is indeed fortunate. Only too frequently, the well known fisherman's luck is noticeably lacking. The natural result has been a noticeable- drop in the number of sportsmen who come to southern Oregon to fish. This has become a factor in the highly important tourist industry 'for Rogue River fishing has been one of our leading vacntion-time attractions. Thus, it becomes the concern of all who live in the Rogue River Valley I FOR several years the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce has been concerned with this increasingly serious problem. It has been recognized for some time but, until recently, no effective solution has been reached. Now it appears that the rehabilitation of the upper Rogue as a fishing stream IS REASONABLY ASSURED. The recently organized Rogue River Sportsmen's club with 375 active members lias taken the bull by the horns. In assuming this important project the sportsmen have the full cooperation of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce. Here are 375 sportsmen who KNOW fishing in Rogue River as it now is, and who recognize that immediate steps must be taken to remedy the deplorable conditions of recent years IF Rogue River is to again become one of the west's foremost fishing streams. So, a FIVE-YEAR FISH PL AM has been undertaken. It is a farsightcd, PRACTICAL plan. Members of the Jackson County Sportsmen's Club realize that the job will take time that is why a five-year program has been set up. If the plan that has been so carefully mapped out is carried through, however, Rogue River should certainly regain its fading fame. aIEMBERS of this organization have lost no time in putting their sensible program into operation. The first step was to interest the State Fish and Game Commission in their problems; the cooperation of this body was immediately forthcoming and Jackson County now has a FULL TIME officer to patrol streams and irrigation ditches. Incidentally, this county is the ONLY one in the state with a full time man on this job. This step was highly necessary to the fish conservation program. Countless thousands of small fish have been lost each year in unscreened or inadequately screened ditches. The cooperation of those who maintain dams on Rogue River for hydroelectric power and irrigation water was next sought. Again, full support was given and fish ladders on the upper Rogue will now be in operation ALL of the time. Another phase of the Five-Year Fish Plan is the "racking" of small creeks tributary to the provides small permanent dams dry up in the summertime so up them to their inevitable doom when the low water period 1 arrives. This racking progrn'm is now well underway where the cooperation of private owners has been secured. It is a ! regrettable fact that, in some instances, this cooperation has not been forthcoming and it is to be earnestly hoped that certain objections will eventually be overcome and ALL smaller tributary brooks will be eventually blocked to runs of fish. ' '1IE Jackson County Sportsmen's Club hns another iinpor- tant project on their Five-Year Plan the planting of a sj ceie of Rainbow in the upper Koguo that will NOT migrate to the ocean. Similar non-migratory trout were planted in the Mackenzie River a few years ago and now l.nnc County fishermen are catching these fine game Haiubow in plentiful numbers. They are now reaching a weight of five pounds! Certainly, this part of the Rogue rehabilitation program should be carried out with the least possible delay. 'piltfRE have been a number of factors contributing to present fishing conditions on tho upper Kogue. Lack of Milter during some seasons, due to depleted water-sheds, and increasing supplies of water taken out for irrigation have had their hearing; the necessary damming of water has caused warm, still pools which seriously affect the two annual salmon runs. As a result, early runs have been very unsatisfactory although fall runs have been generally better. ' "11 KKE is an obvious disagreement between anglers on the effect of bout fishing on the upper Kogue. Many who are leading the fish conservation fight, however, are convinced that the barring of boats ou this portion of the river after July 1st is highly necessary so necessary, in fact, that they sponsored a bill at the last. Oregon legislature for the prohibition of boats on the Kogue during the summer month for the period of two years. This bill passed without a dissenting vote; the immediate signature of Governor Sprngue made it a law. A l'i i'i all, the Rogue Kiver Sportsmen's Kive-Yenr Kish Plan is an excellent one. The sponsors should he commended for initiating this sensible, farsightcd program The Fhc-Year Han should uniuestionably receive the i holeheiirted support ami cooperation of everyone in the Rogue Kiver Valley 1 q WALLA WAIJA.

Beverly Hills, Calif. QUERY FROM Recently the old grouch who con- ducts this column mentioned hav ing received a number of aourpuss repro a c h e a for saying In an art icle here that many elderly folk should have a dally ration of wine or other mild alcoholic beverage. Not that I resent such reproaches: I can take It reproach, not al cohol. I'm not old enough yet to need a nar cotic, just be tween you and me a gentle rebuke skilfully administered dcs me good. This one, for Instance: Dear Doc Brady: Being one of those "sourpusses" to whom you refer in your answer to the question concerning the use of alcohol, I am interested In the answer. Your dally ration of wine for elderly people would naturally raise the questions: 1. At what age is one elderly enough to begin to Imbibe? This age limit Is rather dreaded by most of us. 3. Just how much should one take, at what time or times, and what kind of wine or other alcoholic bev erage would be best? 3. If there are members of the younger generation in the home, what would prevent them from con sidering themselves old enough to begin, seeing such good example? You, as a doctor, must know that this question Is only considered an emotional one when It affects the lives of people. Otherwise, even we sourpusses realize that It Is a scien tific question. Yours truly. The age at which an aged valetu dinarian may advantageously take an alcohol ration Is whenever he or she begins to be cantankerous, peevish, difficult to live with in short, a sour puss. It would be remarkable now If many critics tn the ardor of their deprecation do not distort my teach ing Into an endorsement of liquor for general use. I have-weighed that carefully before commltlng myself and I desire only to emphasise that I said many elderly folk, not all, should have a dally ration or wine or other mild alcoholic beverage. A dry sherry or claret is preferable for most of these enfeebled old folk. Beer, however, ts well borne by the elderly Individual who does not drink It but takes a glass leisurely, sipping It a little at a time. Wine contains from 6 to 20 per cent of alcohol, most American wines The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner Released by The North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc. WASHINGTON, Sept. 19. The Pres ident's proclamation of a "limited emergency has started talk which will not be stopped. It Is said to be only the forerunner of another proclamation of full emergency. It ts suspected of calling Into being large but tll-deflned powers which lurk, mysteriously and threateningly. In forgotten purlieus of the federal statute books. It in thought to be the first step toward putting the nation on a "war-time basis." It Is true that there was little discoverable reason for the presi dential proclamation, beyond the RooseveKUm tnste for public drama. But practically everything that Is being snki about the proclamation, now thnt the first calm comments seem to be forgotten, la either cxng gorated or Incorrect. On the one hand, there ts the emphasis on the proclamation's "lim itation." Since the limitation was a statement thnt the emergency con cerned preservation of neutrality and the national defense. It cannot be considered very circumscribing. lie would be a poor government lawyer Indeed who could not find some connection with national defense or neutrality In virtually any contem plated move. Then, on the other hind, the emergency powers which the president can exercise under the proclamation are Just about one- tenth as Rre.it as has been generally wprwvd. Following Is a list o! them, drawn from Justice department studle prepared, presumably, for the president's use. 1. He may Incoporate the coast urd In the navy; call national guard officers to active duty (but not for niore than 15 consecutive days); des ignate euv place as a military area cimntctt from spies and stray pho tos'sphers: command the construc tion of emcrc-Micy forts, and In gen eral Improve and round out the mill tary cHtalillshment In various minor ways. His aiready-taken steps to- ward brining the army and navy up to full slrent'i did not even re quire emergency authorization. 2 He mav certlfv the existence of an emercency to the lnter-tate commerce conuntM'.on. thin obtaining hro;Ml powers oer the nation s trans- nort.

A large glass of beer may be reckoned the equivalent of a small glass of wtne In alcoholic content. Whiskey or brandy contains 40 to 50 percent of alcohol. So a table spoonful of whiskey or brandy (one half ounce) Is nearly equivalent to a wlneglassful of wine or a half pint (eight-ounce) glass of beer In alco holic content. Dilute the tablespoon ful of brandy or. whiskey with water enough to fill the wineglass, or enough to fill the beer glass, and tt makes no difference which form of alcohol you take, so far as effects go. QI'KSTIONH AM) ANSWERS Potassium Chloride When you told about potassium chloride for hay fever, sinus trouble and allergic sensitivity. I tried to buy some, but at two large dnig stores they Insisted it must be. potassium chlorate and tried to sell me that? (C. T.) Answer Five grains of potassium chloride taken dissolved iu. nearly a glassful of water, from four to six times a day for several days, Is nearly tasteless and has brought marked re lief In many cases of hay fever, sinus trouble, and other allergic con ditions, including allergic skin reac tions such as hives and acute ecze matous outbreaks. Potassium chloride Is recognized in the National Form ulary; the chemical Is Included In the standard trade lists of large manufacturing chemists. Druggists wno tried to sell you chlorate of potash when you asked for potassium chloride ore unreliable; potassium chlorate Is poisonous in overdose; potassium chloride is not. How Ho You Spell Vile?

Note: I'crsonp wishing to communicate with Dr. Urady hould send letter direct to Dr. William Brady, M. D., ZKi El Camtno, Rcverly Hills, Calll. ers permit him to do such things i as arrange for the construction of i additional transport equipment. ! 3. By a similar certification to j the maritime commission, he can j obtain similar powers over water I transport. 4. He may lower tariffs, but only I for the stated purpose of facilitating the Importation of food, clothing and medical supplies needed In emergency relief work. 5. He may restrict the use of Amer , lean ports by submarines or other , armed vessels of foreign nations, i 6. He can close the banks or make rules restricting their business, may take control of foreign exchange trad ing, and oan close the stock ex changes. 7. On certification of an emerg ency to the communications commis sion, he can suspend or amend the regulations concerning radio broad casting, may close stations for cer tain specific reasons, or may take them over on payment of Just com pensation. At the same time, he is specifically and strongly prohibited from Infringing In any way upon freedom of speech on the radio. There is no space to give the his tory of the various powers set forth above. It is sufficient to say that most of them could hove been exer cised by the president In any cose without auch a general statement of emergency as the recent procla mation, and. in order to be exer cised now. will require further proc lamations explaining such actions as may be propo5ed. At first glance, the powers may seem great, but tho truth Is they are no greater than those poten tially enjoyed by any president. The majority of them have been dor mant since the lo.t war because event and public opinion did not call for their exercise. The same restriction on their use exists now as has always existed. Finally, it may be added that, of the actual wartime powers granted President Wilson, only the power to clow the banks has survived as a peacetime authorlratton. It was seved after the World war been use International ex changes were then In such a trou bled state. And the memory of the way It was suddenly pulled out of the hat In 1933 Is prohno'r the real ' source of the current widespread worry. L SERVICE WASHINGTON.

Beyond that point, you'd better keep your fingers crossed. OOLAND and Czechoslovakia were bits saved from the wreckage of American Idealism at Versailles.

Or she may be merely snatching whatever loot may be safely snatched, like the ghouls that appear when a city is burning. She may even be suspicious of a Germany that reaches clear to her western borders, and planning hastily to set up a buffer state. JAPAN, acting mysteriously, hascall- ed off her unofficial war with Russia for the present. It may be part of an as yet undisclosed Ger man-Itallan-Russlan-Japanese scheme to remake the world.

Communications Confusion Made Plain To the Editor: From your editorial "A Nazi Au- thnrltu SnanW lAito SO flnri a lengthy review appearing In the Man- cnrsie. uuamian, ners nnuscnning s book, "The Revolution of Nihilism" Is Just another volume of confusion. And perhaps both Miss Thompson, whom you quote and the Guardian's reviewer, are equally confused aa tha Nazi author. Why all this muddleheadcdness In the ranks of the Intellectually elite? In my humble opinion, a deficient scientific background Is the cause. To really understand social phenom ena, such a background Is necessary. This Is everywhere lacking. The uni versities perhaps, are responsible for this deplorable state. "Deplorable" Is used advisedly, since the great In fluence of the elite In the "shaping of things to come" cannot be exag gerated. As the late Lincoln Steffens has complained In his "Autoblooranhv and In his two vols, of "Letters." he damns and damns and damns acaln Berkeley and the U' scattered over a half dozen countries In Eu rope where he went to "find out what It Is all about. They kept th truth from me. My greatest dis coveries were long known," he says. He wanted to name his book "A Life of Unlearning." but his pub lishers, with their eye on the cash register, objected. One of his dis coveries Is that the doings of men and nations are natural phenomena like that of a snake shedding lta skin.
