Jf- DEMOCRATIC fi MATTQMAI myypimAM pOffll What else ii love. But the most noble, pare affection Of what, is truly beautiful and fair. Desire or union with the thing be loved? I have read somewhere that man and woman Were in the first creation, both one piece And being cleft asunder, ever since Love is an appetite to be rejoined. Ben Jonson It has been sad: "A good surgeon must have an eagle's eye, a lion's heart and a lady's hand." May that ever be true of any surgeon who operates on you. Samuel Pepy's, the im mortal diarist, regularly cele brated the anniversary of an operation that had saved his life. On that anniversary Mr, Pepys always sent the surgeon who had performed the opera tion a present. A very nice gesture. How about you send ing your surgeon an operation anniversary present? And don't forget the nurse. Weaker Sex Cracks as to the male being the "weaker sex" daily become more disparaging. Now a feminine physician, after de scribing the physical inferiority of males in great detail, con cludes by saying males are really so much weaker physi cally than females that the women should give up their seats to men on street cars. This crack has inspired many females to much laughter. How ever, it is a remark they- may regret. Men, smarting under the aforementioned crack, will now be more inclined to let women stand. Also some husbands de rided by their wives as being of the "weaker sex may retaliate by letting said wives carry their own suitcases when traveling Serve them right, too. Lobsters Guy Lombardo's restaurant at Freeport, L. I, is reported to be a terrific money maker. How right that man was who said: "Them that has gits." The specialty of the house at Lom bardo's is lobster. To be spe cific, female lobster. The female of the lobster being much more tender than the male. Keep that in mind, mister, when you or der lobster. Briefly Why are nearly all umbrellas black? Why not red, green, yel low and white umbrellas. The spectacle of many umbrellas of different colors would help to brighten a rainy day .... In England three of the races at major' horse tracks are tele vised daily. Wagering is legal over there. So many people phone their bets to a bookie and then make themselves com fortable before their telvision set at home and watch the race. Some fun, what? NOW ITS DEMOS New decor of Convention Hall in Chicago is visible as Chairman Frank E. McKinney of Democratic national committee calls convention to order for first time. Plush-appearing t rostrum is same Republicans used covered with wallpaper. On The Side by e. v. During (Distributed by King Features Syndicate, Inc.) "Paris without love is like a clock whose hands have been removed." Sarah Bernhardt said that. She also observed: "Jealousy is an unmistakable sign of a love that is purely physical." Discussing matri mony, Sarah said: "I always swore that if I ever married it would be simply to make my self more popular with all men! and I was never blind to the fact that men like women bet ter for being another man's property." Please Note Thirty-two cents out of every dollars a United States citizen earns goes for taxes. The 68 cents he has left has only one third of the purchasing power of a similar amount in 1939. So a man earning $75 a week at this time is about as well off as a man who earned around $20 a week in 1939. Asides Traveling in Ireland is not very hard on the bankroll. Prices are reported extremely reasonable. You can stay in the best hotel in Dublin for $6 a day for a room and four meals. , Note Bernard MacFadden, 83-year-old physical culture ex pert, included in a list of cele brated vegetarians. Mr. Mac Fadden is not a vegetarian. He especially enjoys a good ham burger sandwich. Among The Married Penny Ridgway, charming and smart looking wife of the general, was a secretary in Washington, D. C, before her marriage. The Ridgways are an extremely happy couple. That's not surprising. Secretaries are preferred matrimonial material. That is, if they are also sympa thetic girls with a sense of hu mor and a capacity to be happy. The capacity to be happy is es pecially important. KO 6' Names Collins Interim Chairman Salem U.R) Truman Col lins of Portland, president of the Collins Pine Co., has been named interim chairman of 'the Keep Oregon Green Association by the board of trustees of the public service fire prevention group KOG officials here said Tuesday. Collins succeeds Dean Paul M Dunn of Oregon State College, who has taken a year's leave of absence of dean of that college's forestry school to establish a school of forestry at University of Chile in Santiago, Chile, South America. Dunn has served more than four years as state head of Keep Oregon -Green. SIPdDTT ME WS By BOB AND JOE HOW TO AVOID TAR STAINS The summer months invariably mean going to the beach hot pavements in fact summer more often than not means tar stains. Ordinary tar is not too difficult for us to remove, with just one proviso. Tar stains cannot be allowed to get old and harden, because when that happens, it is usually impossible to remove them. Wa therefore recommend', if your garment acquires a tar stain, that you bring it in to us as soon after staining as you notice it. The same day, if possible. If not, the next day. That way, by pointing out the stain to us, we can immediately at tack it, and most likely get if out of the fabric entirely. If the tar stain is allowed to age and harden, it inevitably solidifies and at the same time imbeds itself in the fibres of the fabric . . . and the garment is ruined. Much too high a price to pay, when, caught a few days sooner, the stain might have been removed entirely and the garment restored good as new. So please let us say it again for added emphasis: BE SURE TO BRING THE GARMENT IN AS SOON AFTER STAINING AS POSSIBLE. And, remember, whether it's tar, some other kind of stain, or just plain old dirt and grime that you want cleaned out of your clothes, you'll always find that you'll get it done better when you bring it to MEDFORD CLEANERS.

C Wright Private Services for Olcoft Being Arranged Portland U.R) Private fu neral services were being ar ranged Tuesday for Ben Wilson Olcott, former governor of Ore gon and a retired Portland bank er, who died Monday at Physic ians & Surgeons hospital. He was 79. Olcott, a Republican, became governor March 3, 1919. on death of Gov. James Withy- combe. Olcott at that time was serving his second elective term as secretary of state. He was ap pointed to that office in 1912 by his brother-in-law, Gov. Oswald West, a Democrat, to fill the un expired term of Frank W. Ben son, a Republican, who died in office. Died in Sleep His physician said the former governor died in his sleep. He had been in failing health for several years. His condition wor sened about a week ago and he entered the hospital. Olcott was born at Keithsburg. i 111., Oct. 15, 1872. He came west when he was 19 and considered Oregon his official residence! from 1892 on. After a series of; odd jobs he went prospecting in the "Wild Horse" gold stampede in British Columbia in 1897. The gold fever hit him again in 1904 when he prospected between Nome and Fairbanks in Alaska He was a gold dust teller and buyer for the Fairbanks Bank ing Co., in 1905-06. During his gold rush days Olcott "mushed" a dog team the entire 1,000 miles between Nome and Fairbanks and many stories were told of this feat. Olcott entered his first public job in Oregon in 1907 when he was named to the State Land Board. His term as governor expired Jan. 8, 1923, when he was suc ceeded by Walter M. Pierce. Ol cott then returned to banking, serving successively as manager of the Long Beach, Calif., branch of the Bank of Italy, and director of the Oregon Mutual Savings bank at Portland. He retired sev eral years ago. His wife, the former Lena Hut- ton of Salem, died in 1936. Sur vivors include his three sons, Chester W., Yaquina, and Gor don W. and Richard H., both of Portland. Phoenix to Select New Police Chief Tomorrow Evening Phoenix The selection of a police chief for the town of Phoenix will take place tomor row evening in the city hall, according to Mayor E. R. Claflin, The city council met last Wed nesday with about 12 Phoenix businessmen and screened out all but two or three of ten appli cants for the job vacated by Curt Fisher on July 1, according to Mayor Claflin.

He expressed hope of starting work on Church street, and continuing it as "far as the money v.-ill go." This is also a permanent-type surfacing job with road-mix. All citizens are asked to re frain from using open hoses and running water during a fire, he pointed out. He said that the town, although it has a good well, only has a 60,000 gallon water tank which is easily de pleted.
