Editorial Correspondence
Tucson, Aril., Jan. 31 Finally got here In the "Bad" Ship
Sedan after a rough voyage. The BSS no doubt realized what
was in store when It refused to start in front of Valentine's cafe
at fl a. m. the day we left Medford. It was only thinking of ye
editor, of course, but as usual, ye editor was contrary and kept
trying, so here he is more alive than dead out not very mucn
morel
Somewhere south of Modesto, Calif., the Good Ship' started
to shimmy. The road was smooth, but it was hard to keep the old
boat on it. We had a couple of sailor boys with us as ballast at
the time and the one who was going down to Ssn Diego to get his
car, remarked that the trouble was probably due to a bent con
necting rod on the steering gear or absence of proper tire align
ment, or perhaps a poorly constructed remade tire. (We always
believe what ANYONE tells us about a car on the assumption
they know more about a car than we do which is correct.) We
asked him If the ailment was dangerous and he said it might be.
so we handed the car over to the
Bakersfleld for the night, and asked them to check up, etc.
e e e e e
That was the start of the trouble.
The steering gear worked OK when we started out the next
noon, and still does for thst matter.
But when we turned off 99 at a place called Gorham for a
short cut to San Bernardino, the shimmy had worked back to the
rear axle, the ship steered OK In front, but the rear skidded
from side to side when we got over 40 m.p.h. like a kite without a
tail.
If there is one thing we don't like In a car it Is a skid, which
goes back to the time we skidded on the Siskiyou grade one Icy
morning and only a strsy boulder on the side of the road saved
us from David Jones' locker, using a nautical term for the benefit
of the BSSI
So we stopped at the first garage in the desert wilderness and
Interrupted a lone mechanic long enough to be informed that the
"stabilizer rod was broke" and he had no time or apparent in
clination to mend it.
"Don't drive fast," was his final remark as he nipped off a
fresh chew and spat in the dust.
So we didn't; therefore it was nearly closing time when we
reached the "Buick Service" at San Bernardino and explained our
predicament. We don't know anything less hospitable than a
strange garage In California around closing time. Perhaps its the
same in Oregon, but we don't think so. The foreman was taking
off his white coat and preparing to wash up when we accosted
him. He didn't haul off and hit us with a wrench but he did say
he could do nothing at that time of night, there was an all-night
garage in Rcdlands that might, good night)

"Don't try to drive fast," was also his kindly advice, "that

However, we did find a garage that was open and were able

we could not find a place to sleep. We had done the same at
Stockton and Bakersfleld, far more populous and popular com

there at least two weeks in advance! They feared it was Just as

which we doubted. But soon found out the hotel clerk was 100

but we hadn't much of an appetite by that time anyway, so we
were glad to get out of the place and on our way round 9:30 p. m.
for El Centre where some 20 years ago ws experienced our first
GEN-U-INE California earthquake.
Can't say much for that trln
and a steady stream of fast-trucks
directions. But it was better than
yards, which was the only foreseeable alternative.
It was 1 a. m. when we reached El Centra and the famous
Barbara Worth hotel was as tightly packed as a fresh bag of
wheat and no one, moreover, was allowed to sleep in the lobby,

De Maupassant,

When her son Larry enlisted
in the United States navy Mrs.
Florence Andre of Lomita, Calif.,
was 31 years of age. Certainly
Mrs. Andre must have been the
youngest mother with a son in
the armed forces in World War
II. If Brooklyn can top this by
naming a resident who was a
younger war mother even I will
be surprised.
Asking
Query from clients. Q. How
can I persuade my husband to
take dancing lessons and after
that to step out dancing with
me now and then? All he wants
to do is play poker, golf or go
duck hunting, leaving me home
to sit on my hands. A. A Pitts
burgh wife recently reported she
had induced her husband to learn
the rhumba by arranging that
lessons be given him by a glam
orous brunette. After he had
learned to rhumba he was so
anxious to exhibit the accom
plishment she had no difficulty
in persuading him to take her
out to night clubs.
Passing By
Dorothy Ford. Statuesque
night club entertainer. She is six
feet, one inch tall. First achieved
outstanding success at the world
famous Copacabana night club
in Rio De Janeiro. In Rio the
night club patrons like tall girls
providing they are brunettes.
Blondes are not so popular there,
I don't know why . . . Casey
Stengel. Whimsical major leag
uer. As he passed by the fellow
with me remarked that Stengel
had ma ' ; three home runs in
one world's series. I said Casey
had hit two home runs, not
three, while playing for the
Giants in a world's series against
the Yankees. Now if you are a
young old timer and a baseball
fan with a memory you can tell
me which of us was right.
Stogie Department
A resident of Hollywood
strongly contradicts the claim
that Clark Gable Is not a six
footer. Says he: "I work with
Mr. Gable's tailor. I know his
measurements. He is six feet,
one inch tall. Please send two
stogies; one for me and one for
the ""jss. Perhaps I am wrong.
But then it must be considered
that no man takes off his shoes
when measured for a suit. Let
us hear from Mr. Gable's trainer
or gymnasium instructor as to
what Clark measures when pre
pared for a shower bath. Maybe
I am being stubborn about this.
But the clients have been tak
ing me for plenty of stogies late
ly. I have to be careful.
By Request
How about your Horses &
Women department telling us
something about horses for a
change?" asks a Baltlmorean.
That is a reasonable request.
Among horse experts it has al
ways I -en considered unwise to
buy an equine with four white
feet. The most quoted advice in
this respect is worded as follows:
One white foot buy him.
Two white feet try him;
Three white feet look well
about him.
Four white feet go without
him.
Currently active is a racehorse
named Snow Boots. His name is
inspired by the fact that he has
four white feet. Snow Boots re
cently broke the world's record
for a mile and one-sixteenth and
many people believe he will win
the $100,000 Santa Anita handi
cap. His performance shows him
to be a truly remarkable animal.
Therefore, we are removing the
above quoted advice from our
Horses & Women files. I will
also dljcard it when 1 go to Sara
toga next summer to buy a year
ling for my one horse stable.

Well, hardly ever. Anyway,
President Tyler, who was mar

is the record for presidents.
President William Harrison, who
married only once did all right,
too. He had 10 children.
Vanishing American
In eighteenth century
there were about 830.000 Indians
In the United States. During the
nineteenth century this number
dwindled to around 233.000.
Hence the description: "The Van
ishing American." But in recent
years the .ndian population has
been increasing with astonishing
rapidity. Now there are about
400.000 Indians in the U.S.A.
and more being born daily in
great numbers. Maybe nature is
getting ready to give this coun
try back to the Indians.

To the editor: If anyone Is

the sight of a life time; some
thing that will never happen
again in our span of life.
The planets Mars and Saturn

. The north point is the star
Castor, the east point is the star
Pollux, the south point is the

The next few nights is the
time to see the diamond at it's

of Mars to the west will soon
spoil the diamond effect.

Jackson County Coal
To the editor: Concerning the
recently published letter of Roy
G. Patch of Hornbrook, Calif.,
about Jackson county coal: I'm
familiar with all the coal veins
In the county. Have been coal
miner, coal mines manager and
aided in development of coal
mining operations.
My late father was a coal min
ing engineer and expert In coal
by-products after carbonization.
Following is his report on Jack
son county coal veins:
By-products 1-gas, per ton of
coal, 7,000 to 10,000 cubic feet;
2 oil or tar (free from water)
15 g a 1 1 o n s; 3 ammoniacal li
quor, 65 gallons; 4 carbon resi
due, 955 pounds.
Gases extracted make a good
medium for heating and cooking
or use in engines to generate
power, for browning tile, pot
tery, brick, etc.
Other by-products are, light
oils, benzine, etc., 11.5 per cent;
carbolic oils, some napthaline,
13.5 per cent; creosote oils, 34.1
per cent; anthracene oils, some
paraffin, 16.4 per cent; pitch
hard, 24.5 per cent. Also hun
dreds of synthetic products In
the way of paraffins, acids,
chemicals, etc., may be derived
from this coal.
Almost all such by-products
have heretofore come from Ger
many. Millions of gallons of creo-
soting oils for preserving tim
bers and ties have been import
ed annually. The European sup
ply is diminishing and the mar
ket value of these commodities
on the North American continent
is considerably enhanced.
It Is not unreasonable to ex
pect that in the near future a
large part of this demand for
gas and tar products will be sup
plied from coal stores such as
you have in Jackson county. This
coal i....y e turned into millions
of dollars through carbonization
of the coal itself and also in use
of the coal for the home in the
form of rough, washed, briquet
tes. Jackson county should burn
her own coal and help boost its
great coal fields.
The future is assured in this
vast coal lead when capital

large reduction plants.

News Behind
The News
By Paul Mallon
Washington. Feb. 4 Politics
is warming up. The young men
and women are coming back
from foreign
fields plainly
displeased at
the way things
are going.
Some tell me
Uncle Sam Is
known in
r-any foreign
nations as "Un
cle S u g a r."
They tell of
waste, ineffic
i e n cy , or
raui fclaiion
throwing our
money around, and talk of get
ting into politics. The ballot lists
this fall will contain a lot of
veterans who think they can do
something in congress, if they
get home in time. Certainly the
group displeasure of this 12,000,
000 voting mass, now fairly well
congealed in ideas, threatens a
complete overturn of existing
legislative personalities if not
the whole political complexion
of affairs.
Scenting opportunity, the re
publicans are getting busy. The
national committee has, for the
first time, assumed onsibil-
ity in the congressional cam
paign (committees or congress
men usually head the effort.)
The '.aff at headquarters has
been about trebled to create 11
departments, one of which has
started a monthly newspaper
with a circulation to date of
230,000. A state quota system of
raising money (like the Red
Cross) has been started, and a
small contributions mail cam
paign has been launched, in or
der to take financing away from
the gentlemen of bulk contribu
tions, ' known In the political
trade as "fat cats." .
e e e .
ALL this has been done by
Governor Dewey's man, Her
bert Brownell, Jr., the commit
tee chairman, who says his
drive is to "elect a Republican
congress."
I hear, incidentally, Dewey
has told friends he is not in the
runni.ig for 1946. He points out
to them that Republicans have
never in history renominated a
defeated candidate, wh!ch was
news to me. Dewey would like
the nminatlon apparently, but
does not expect it. Personally I
expect much will rest on wheth
er he is re-elected governor
this year. Last time he won
against a split, and it is possible
he will have more formidable
opposition this time. If he wins,
it will be said no one could
have beaten Roosevelt in a war
year, and he will be back in the
running.
The Stassen grasp for leader
ship is finding form, in the way
of organization and money. A
St. Paul man is on the road
traveling for him. The same
man was high in the Willkle
entourage, and there are fur
ther Indications that the New
York crowd which backed Will
kie e' -ady has its hand in
pocket for the former Minne
sota governor to be next presi
dent. They have been conspicu
ous at the speakers' tables
where Stassen spoke. A weekly
magazine has published a report
that thj ex-Lord & Taylor ex
ecutive, Walter Hoving, who
was active in the last Dewey
headquarters, will eventually
play Hanna for Stassen, The
Cowles Brothers, publishers, ap
pear to be running the invisible
bandwagon so fa1-, particularly
brother Mike in Iowa. My Re
publican sources say he has been
hiring people.
see
ALL this inside activity has
caused many who have ob
served it to surmise that Stas
sen will keep on his speaking
tours (he has not yet taken a
job that I have heard), the or
ganizing will increase in tempo
and when the Gallup polls start.
Stassen will be on top. Many
think he will remain there.
My own opinion is he will
have his main trouble keeping
In the limelight without a po
litical office, now that he has
started so early. Willkle killed
himself doing it.
