Miss Viginia OThanlon writes to inquire: "Is there anyway to stop the home town high school football conch, from rushing on to the field of action, at every critical stage, to tell the quar terbfctt what play to call next?" Yes, Virginia, there is a way to effectively knock the zealous- ness out of the offender. As a matter of fact, there are two ways. The rules provide a 15 yard penalty, on his team, but the coach always seems to be on the blii:d side of the officials, and they are prone to punish the team, for the faults of their mentor. It Is never invoked un less the coach joins the -huddle, and starts playing left tackle with his men. Of course, the de fendant never acts this way, when away from home. Now, 'Ginny' you can't stop his frenz ied gesticulating of signals from the sidelines, but this Is how coaches have been cured of as suming extra work such, as rcf- ereeing and quartcrbneking. The visiting sqund is annoyed, as you were, by his antics. So they pull a play swiftly, and the in terference accidentally runs ov er the coach, before he can get off the field. To be knocked down, tackled and trampled up on by six husky kids is no cause for rejoicing. More than his pride has been hurt. After he has been packed tenderly to the bench, (where he belongs), he remains there the rest of the game, as if he was nailed to it. with railroad spikes. He couldn't get up, if he wanted to, Virginia! THE OLDER GIRLS SPEAK UP (Ladies Home Journal) "Comments on these ques tions were graphic.

The leader of the Communist party In America, spent last night In Jail, due to a delay In providing bail, after indictment for travelling on a false pass port, and, then lying about it. Considering the objectives of Communism, this is akin to nab bing a bank robber, for parking his getaway car In front of a fire hydrant, while robbing the bank.

Editorial Correspondence Boston, Mass., Oct. 20. "The land ot the bean and the Where the Lowell, apeak only And the Cabota apeak, Only to OODP Many a long year since we "Midnight" from New Yorkl There used to be a saying in Cambridge, the best thing about New York was the "Midnight" for Boston. That was frequently induced by a headache, however, and Back Bay provincialism. With a daughter in New York now it's the other way around, your correspondent wasn't overcome with Joy in leaving Manhattan. The "Midnight" has the added advantage of allowing a theatre before departure time, which is at half after 12 in the morning. Trying to pick one out was rather like trying to pick out a car at the local motor show, so many to choose from and so little time. Finally decided on Gertrude Lawrence in "The Skylark." We share the common masculine enthusiasm for Gertrude, but can't say much for the play, and as for the men in it, they were TERRIBLE! What vitality and charm Miss Lawrence has however, she could merely walk around the stage and say ANYTHING, or nothing it would be as Impossible to ignore her as if you had accidentally touched a live wire. Wonder if she ever has her dark moments, if that extraordinary human battery EVER runs LOW! One of the big thrills of attending the theatre In New York is what P. T. Barnum called the "egress", going out and going home, preferably on the hoof. Or if one must ride, than one of those glass topped cabs, so one can get the full effect of that amazing display of cataleptic Incandescence in and around Times Square. The sparkling electric news tape racing along the limes build ing informed us as we strolled by that the Allies have signed the protective treaty with the Turks. Well it's about TIME some cheering news came along! One of the saddest and at the same time most amusing war statements to come out of London since the war started was Chamberlain's recent alibi that Britain is winning the PROPA GANDA war against Germany. (At this rate Stanford at the tail end of the Big Game score with Cal, will proclaimthat the Cardinal cheering section has been winning all down the line!) Also had time for a final squint at the Fair yesterday after noon, thanks to the fact that one can get over there on the Pennsylvania R. R. in 10 or 15 minutes. We picked out the U. S. Federal building with malice aforethought, wanted to compare the U. S. A. effort with the U. S. S. R., and what a comparison in two striking ways! 1st The perfectly astounding similarity between the two, both emphasizing what is being done for the underprivileged, the common man and , 2nd The tremendous superiority of the Soviet exhibit, as far as originality, color and forceful appeal are concerned. One who knew nothing about cither country, the "Man from Mars" for example, after going through the two buildings would undoubt edly conclude that Soviet Russia is the place for a young and ambitious man to settle down. We can't get over the I'. S. S. R. propaganda "tour dc force." As another year for the Fair is assured, we feel Grover Whalcn should do something about it. VERY MUCH SURPRISED (!) to find that Harvard plays Pennsylvania here tomorrow, or at Cambridge which in this day and age is much the same thing. Well, well, we MIGHT possibly be able to arrange our pressing business affairs so we can take it in! One can never tell about such things, however. Yes this is a quaint provincial town, always has been, we hope it always will be. Take the sporting news in this morning's Globe for example, a full page of football, but not a suggestion that any games are to be played west of the Mississippi river, not ONE! Fortunately all the New York papers are for sale here and only a few hours behind, so we won't have to wire "Perfessor Plckem" to find how O. S. C. fares with Washington. Speaking of plays in New York, one is foolish, when there. not to take as many in as the bank account and Father Time allow, for it's the only place in the country where the spoken, fleshand-blood drama still lives in any permanent sense whatever But to accomplish anything worth while In this direction on a four-day stop like ours (at the moment it seems like four WEEKS!) is like trying to take in a three-ring circus through a knot hole, with dark glasses on. Just can't be done We did, however, thanks to a little fast fuohjork, get good Reals for the second night of Hart anoV,,KauITfs latest opus "Tho Man Who Came to Dinner," includifsWffie New York branch of the family. And let it be here recorded that this is the most side-splitting uproarious frrce we have seen since "Charley's Aunt"! Talk about the familiar "belly laughs" the editorial tumy is still sore from the strain of that hilarious and ribald evening. We wouldn't recommend It to adolescents or 10th generation Puritans, In fact we wouldn't recommend it to ANYONE, for recommending plays Is like recommending food, what is food for one Is, for another, POISON. We can only announce it, the particular type of comedy that knocks your correspondent for a series of loops, interspersed with various and sundry harum srarum and risible tail-spins. Not only shall we, whenever opportunity offers, see it again, but although the final curtain didn't go down until 11:30 p. m. and ye editor Is no night owl, we would have gladly sat there and listened to more of that sort of patter until THREE in the morning! (If you see that perfect tribute quoted on the theatrical page of the Times, don't fall over dead, stranger things have happened!) Met Richard Watts, dramatic critic of the Herald-Tribune, afterwards at the "Artists nnd Writers", also Howard Barnes. Elmer Rice and a few other big shots in the dramatic line.

CAUSES OF LYMPHOID HYPERPLASIA Simple enlargement, thicken ing or hypertrophy of tonsil and adenoid body in childhood is called lym phoid hyper plasla. Some times such en larged tonsils or ad e n o i d s may be infect ed and even become source of serious fo cal infection, though as a general rule the conditiun in children is simple overgrowth ot the soft lymphoid, adenoid or round-cell tissue composing the faucial tonsils and the pharyngeal ton sil (adenoid body). I told here of the observation made by a New York health officer. Finding the first three or four in a group of school chil dren he examined had enlarged tonsils he so recorded, but as he continued examining the children he found they all had enlarged tonsils, so he erased the marks on the cards and marked them all "normal." The examination had been made at the end of a prolonged rainy period. Months later the doctor examined the same children again, after a period of fine weather. They all had small tonsils now, with one or two exceptions. Such a variation in the size of the tonsils may be explained, I believe, as depend ing on the intake of sunshine vitamin D; when the vitamin D intake is low the tonsils be come enlarged; when the vita min D intake is adcuate the tonsils and adenoid body be come smaller. Understand, please, this is merely my be lief. I can't prove it is so; you can't prove it -isn't. In a stretch of sunny weather children, if not grownups, enjoy greater ex posure o( naked skin to the ultraviolet.Mvhich generates vi tamin from ergosterol in the skin. An old remedy for simple en larged tonsils and adenoids, or rather for the morbid condition responsible for the lymphoid hyperplasia, is cod liver oil. Today probably most doctors would ascribe the benefits of cod liver oil in such cases to the vitamin D and the vitamin A in cod liver oil. Formerly the iodine in cod liver oil was considered at least partly re sponsible for its remedial value In many instances of lymphoid hyperplasia (large tonsils and adenoids) iodine or iodides are beneficial. In any case it is ad visable, In my opinion, to see that the child receives a suit able iodine ration. On request I will send instructions for tak ing an Iodin Ration inclose. stamped envelope bearing your address. The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner Released by Tho North American Newspaper Allinnce, Ino. Washington, Oct. 24. A strik ing political fact obscured by the war-born turmoil Is that rela tions between the President and Postmaster General Jnmes A. Farley are once more on a pleas- ,n( "nrtfirlntittnl hacie Thnl- .lr.in.d nlmo,i breaking-point before Farley's vocation trip to Europe, when the President Invited Farley to have a long talk with him before i sailing.

Brady, M D, In some of the standard text books on practice, pediatrics and therapeutics published 20 or 30 years ago the suggestion appears that "frequent sore throats and colds" cause chronic enlarge ment of tonsils and adenoid body; and also the suggestion that the child with enlarged tonsils and adenoids is suscep tible to "frequent sore throats and colds." It is a fine old med ical custom. Need I repeat that, in my opinion, when a doctor or medical author talks about "colds" he doesn't know what he is talking about and he does not want his readers to know either. Ql'KSTIO.NS AM) ANSWERS Cured of Hernia You recommended Dr. . . . as skilled In ambulant treatment of hernia. I received the treatment from him, and now for four months am completely cured of left Inguinal hernia. I am 15 yeara old, and I thank you for recommending this fine doctor. (C. J. O.) Answer The world moves. Twenty years ago t would have branded a doctor who pretended to cure hernia by other means than operation aa a quack. Even now some doctors would do so. ' Potassium Chloride Never had a more comfortable hay fever season than I had this year, using potassium chloride as you sug gested. Relief was so marked after only four doses that I could hardly believe It. Most of the season I took one dose a day sometimes two doses. I would advise anyone subject to hay fever to give thla simple treatment a trial. (H. M. H.) Answer Not only hay fever, but allergic rhinitis, some cases of asth ma, sinusitis, sinus headaches, re spond remarkably to this treatment. Do not take tablets or capsules only a solution of potassium chlor ide in water shoula be taken. Usual dose. 20 grains dally five or ten grains dissolved In water each dose. Some persons require more, some less. If no relief In a few days, no use continuing the treatment. If any relief, the treatment Is harmless to continue to repent as needed. It Is not a cure; merely a palliative for the disagreeable symptoms. Do not accept any other remedy than pot assium chloride. If this is not clear, send stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for Instructions for using potassium chloride. feeder's nicest I nssure you I was extremely ex asperated by the long wait for my copy of the new Pood or Diet book, but It arrived at Inst, and now I wish to say that I am delighted with It.

It may be assumed that Far- j ley has found the first pleoe of White House legislation In a long i time which he can enthusiastically approve. 1 Altogether, the atmosphere is Im mensely better. The curious thing Is that. In spite of the better relations between Roosevelt and Farley, the shrewdest practitioners w'U tell you that the basic political situation hns not changed In the least. The new deal era privately regard the third term as a fait accompli. One might sup pose that they were rlsht. The wnr emergency gives the president an un doubted advantage. The president nnd his most powerful political lead ers are together again. With most domestic Issues out of the way, even the president's bit terest congressional enemies have few grounds left for attack. But the wiseacres say tho new dealers nre wrong. The Roosevelt-Farley relationship is still a crucial factor. Farley com mands the delecates. Is the ab'.est polltlral oryanlzer in the country, and is much beloved hy his party. Tf Farley should choose to lead a drnlt-Roosevelt movement, success would be virtually certain. He Is playtrg his cards very close to his chest, but there Is every Indication that Farley does not evpect to do anything of the sort, at lenst as of today. Considering the Improvement of Farley's relations with the president, his record aa a straight-shooter, and the character of the general situa tion, a daring guess is very tempt ing. It is that the president h.s assured Farley he does not want and will not seek a third term. In ture of the situation, it la difficult to explain the confidence of the conservative Democrats that the third term v. in not m.itr-rlsltze Their relations with the president have also mate-!ii:y improved, since for eign poll.-v provided an ar.'a of mu- tus'. acreement. But their feelings about domestic po'.ltt.-s have not I altered, and thrv a:e In -v sslrgly a.-tlve. There is re - t-i v-lve thst 13 or mo;e cf t'i,- ,o:--.vn::ve Democratic s,un:ors a:e rru taking atep, to form themselves Into . co herent, articulate group, meeting casually at luncheons and In other waya to discuss their common prob. lema. Certainly tha good cheer of the Democratic conservative files straight In the face of the surface facta of the political situation. A haa already been remarked, every actnttlla of public evidence la to the effect that the war In Europe Insurea a third term for the president If he wants It. Possibly It la a mistake to try to go behind the public evidence. Nevertheless. It seems worthwhile to offer the summarized prediction of one of the cleverest men In the conservative-moderate Democratic group. It is: II) If the war ends, the third term will be out of the window. (2) If the war continues, but the sit uation of the United States grows no more difficult than at present, the third term will be most un likely. (And (3) If the security of this country Is threatened, the third term will be not only likely, but certain. ) Communications Lest We Forqet-. To the Editor: Armistice Day is three weeks away. For the first time since that memorable day of November 11, 1918, this will be a legal holiday, both state and national. For 20 years the ex-service men have been fighting to have this proclaimed such a holiday, so that proper observance may be made. This year, as never before, we have just cause to pay tribute to Armistice Day. Veteran groups should take the lead in seeing that the public joins with us in thought and deed. This day was dearly purchased with the lifeblood of many a young American. There are thousands more who helped buy It at the cost of spending the rest of their lives in pain and suffering, confined to hospital beds. Surely our own and every community in the state of Ore gon can be grateful enough for a peace that ended hostilities of the worst war in history, to pause long enough to pay tribute to Armistice Day. George E. Hoard, Adjutant and Service Officer, Medford Post No. 15, the American Legion. More About Bonds. To the Editor: Saturday, an expensive handbill, nicely em bellished, showing a plat of the proposed city park and advising cilizens to vote for the bonds, was distributed all over the city. Wonder who paid for printing and distributing these circulars? Surely not the city, for It is supposed to be "neutral." You will have to guess its sponsors, for no name appears on it. And this is a flagrant violation of Oregon's corrupt practice law. Will some one please page the district attorney and the grand jury? But perhaps the law does not apply to people who want bonds. If the opponents of bonds had the money, they could print and circulate a much more convinc ing dodger, and they would not be cither ashamed or afraid to father it. I would like to ask every per son who is inclined to vote for these bonds to stand a moment on the Main street bridge over Bear creek and cast an eye over the washouts, weeds and wil lows, looking toward Jackson street. Be calm and be just, tf you can, then answer these ques tions: Is this 17-acre tract worth S20.000 for any purpose? Do you know anyone who would pay half that much for it? Sure ly you must answer both ques tions In the negative. Then .h do you want the city to pay S20.000 for it? When you vote to .cheat your city, you vote to cheat yourself, for von, and the other citizens within the cor porate limits, do all the paying. Even if you own no propertv you pay indirectly, for when taxes increase George Landlord raises the rent, and John Mer chant marks up his' goods. Do you figure on voting your self a job? If so, vote against, not for. bonds. Industries never come to a community bur dened with high taxes, and lit tle building or other improve ments are done on propertv loaded down with bonded debt Modiord should have canneries and more woodworking fac tories. When taxes are reason able people buy land and ma- labor5' traffiC and Cmploy The tragedy is that all of our bonds have been voted by a small minority of legal voters -the professional bond voters. Thousands of persons are op posed to bonds who never go to he polls to vote against them It is no excuse to sav. "I never vote for bonds." You are to blame when you stay away from he poll,, thus allowing the in forested few to vote a blanket of r,:. uvpr .vol,r '"if city. Will you not go to the polls T. . . .

Against Park Plan To the editor: So we are to be led into the bonds again, and not the bonds of matrimony that you drape yourself with today and shed via Reno tomorrow. Funny we vote 'em in on a lot of nice 'I will do' or 'not do,' trust to their good taste to handle our affairs and drop it there. Next election, ditto. Till the job looks permanent and bingo they reach out on a limb further each time. No one wants a lovely park (with four-legged monkeys and all that goes to make a real one) more than I, but why should we pay $20,000 for an eyesore? When a road wants to go through bad enough the pro perty is condemned no matter how good it is; why not then an eyesore? Seems that's going to make your purse sore too when done. What's a $30,000 park to a hungry person? My question I'll answer it. Just a disgrace at a time like this. Ten Thousand dollars for the grounds (is bad enough) and $20,000 for labor would have had more of a relief ring to it. Why not let the taxpayers out of work and about to loose their home (I mean HOME.) work out their back taxes? Why doesn't the city sell all those tax title properties and put this money into a sinking fund to purchase park grounds? Remember $10,000 spent a couple years ago that turned out a white elephant? I agree with Mr. Phipps; how many will get work that need it, who share this load? If those bond-minded ones are so interested in the welfare of humanity as to desire us a $30,000 park why not get behind the National Recovery Plan so when we can afford to sit in this (name please) park it will be with a full tummy? You've read all the bad points about the plan from various presses, suppose you really study the good points direct. How about it? Last, but not least, why should non tax-payers help throw a saddle on our back? A few changes in office would do us good don't you think? Or do you? I helped put 'em there. Yours "Pepper".

By Frank Jenkins TTHERE is much talk of build ; ing up a big wartime export j trade in South America while Britain and Germany are busy fighting. In regard to this : scheme, the agricultural west will do well to keep its fingers crossed. ' COREIGN trade is literally for- 4 eign TRADE. That is to say, if you want to sell abroad you must also BUY abroad. With the exception of coffee and rub ber in Brazil, and a few other tropical products, South Amer ica has only agricultural staples for sale. We have a surplus of agricultural staples ourselves. If we sell to South America, we must make it possible for South America to SELL TO US.
