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!

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

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

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

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.

1 In the bill repealing the arms em
bargo. 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

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.

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.

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

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

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 the Increased purchasing power:
that while goods are belrw produced,
employment haa not spurred the

not materialized. War orders, con

embargo is lifted. Farm products
are still below parity, but hope is

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.
If South America starts pouring
agricultural staples into our
markets in order to pay for
purchases of American-manufactured
products, the agricul
tural west will suffer.
AN example is the proposal,

reduce the tariff on Argentine
uirKeys. mere is -already over
production of American turkeys.
Admission of Argentine turkeys
tariff-frep. nr at oi-eatiu
duties, would wreck the already
badly dented American turkey
market.
In these schemes for promot
ing foreign markets for Amer
ican manufactured goods Amer
ican agriculture has been sold
down the river on more than
one occasion. It should watch
ALL SUCH SCHEMES with a
wary and critical eye.
Jf UMBER IrTtiiVFacific North
west also knows what It is
to be sold down the river for
the benefit of eastern manufac
turing. The trade treatv with
Great Britain is an example still
fresh in mind.
