pa(;b kouh THE EVENING HERALD. KLAMATH PALIS. OREGON Novcmhor 10. 10.11 Editorials News of Other Days Place Names Women's Features ' School Board Cuts Close BUT REDUCTION IS GOOD BUSINESS . Prosperity In Headlines Approval Given Deep Slashing DRASTIC cuts in budgets have be come quite common piece of news, but the S6 per cent slash an nounced by the Klamath Union High School board fairly takes the breath away. That is reduction that IS reduc tion. That is meeting the taxpayer all the way. As the situation stands, the taxpay ers of the union district will be asked to vote a voluntary levy of $33,054.36, which is $18,165.54 under the tax of last year and $11,760 under the budget originally drawn up and published for this year. This ia what has happened to the voluntary tax: Last year $51,220.00 This year (first) 44,814.86 This year (final) .... 33,054.36 In other words, the budget board, aware of the necessity for reduction, originally cut the budget to a point considered safe and reasonable, and published that budget. Then, feeling that still greater re ductions were in keeping with the de sires of the people, the board ham mered down the figures again. If the original cut was to the bone, the final slice was mighty close to the marrow. These newspapers, who are in full sympathy with the taxpayer in his plight, believe that this was the right thing to do. They would have looked askance at any tendency to do other wise. They agree heartily with the new taxpayers league when it votes to voice its approval of the board's re ductions. This general and deserved approval assures the passing of the special tax, now cut to the minimum of safety. The necessity for voting a special tax in Klamath Union High School dis trict grows out of a situation unparal leled in the state wherein Klamath County High School was gradually turned over to the newly formed union high school district in 1926-27. Klamath Union High School estab lished, a part-year operating expense to take care of the part-year operation necessary in connection with the change. The low base is, of course, far inadequate, as later operations were on a full-year basis and the school grew rapidly in those first years. Hence, the special tax has be come virtually a routine matter in the school operation. The passage of that tax this year, in view of the remarkable reductions finally achieved by the board, would seem a foregone conclusion. Al Capone's bodyguard asked for mercy on the charge that he carried a loaded pistol into court during Al'i trial. Maybe he just carried it as a plaything a rattle. ' Financial Headline Proclaim Optimism' tfyHE depression is over" was the enthusiastic remark of a visitor as he tossed on the editorial desk the front page of the business and industry section of a San Francisco newspaper, dated Saturday. "Take any heading on' that page you want," he said. Here they are: "Wall Street Bulls Stage Brisk Rally." "Bond Market Closes Higher in Every Group." "Pacific Public Service Net Profit Gains." "Grain Prices Climb After Early Break." "Six Hour Day Tried out Success fully." "Bar Silver Hits Year's Peak at 34 Cents an Ounce." "$250,000,000 Construction Is Under Way." "Lower Bill Rates Expanding Credit." "Trade Reports More Optimistic." "Oklahoma Oil Men Jubilant." "Western Stocks Register Gains." Those are the larger headlines, with out a sour note among them. The small headings on the page kept to the same tone. No question about it it fairly shouts with optimism. We Recommend A Grid Recruit THIS writer knows this about Guy Merrill's football game Sunday: it was sufficiently sensational to generate the maximum enthusiasm in at least one member of the crowd, and the Klam ath All-Stars had a first class inter ference runner in the grandstand in stead of on the field. It happened as Otto Vitus was mak ing one of those rip-roaring charges that used to raise our hair back in col lege days. As he came around the end directly in front of us and cut in, the Chemawa end and a back pressed in on him. Suddenly, we discovered ourselves in the position of one of the defensive tackjers, being nicely blocked out of the picture. The gentleman on the bleacher seat beside us, who had been showing some evidences of real en thusiasm and knowledge of the game, was doing the blocking, and he was doing it well. His eyes and thoughts were apparently fastened on the field, but his shoulder was against us, and had we been a Chemawa enthusiast, with a similar desire to make a mental tackle of the charging Vitus, we would have been well taken care of. The whistle, of course, ended our little encounter as well as the one on the field, and brought sincere but un necessary apologies. We liked the en thusiasm thus Bhown, although we were a bit apprehensive thereafter every time a Chemawa ball carrier was roughly tackled. And we know that Coach Fred Flock of the All-Stars is missing a bet in letting this first class blocker sit in the grandstand. GEMS-0-PERIL BT HAZEL KOHB CHAPTER XXI What U It? What 1 It?' Mary whispered, trying vainly to ace into the atreet from the other aide of the window. Her view waa cut oft by a cornice. Dirk waa leaning far out to get a clear Tlew of what had happened. He wared one hand aa a afgnal to keep quiet To the waiting girl the enspense waa agonizing. Angry Toicea floated up and rarloua bumpi and thuda, aa of a weary car aettllng to rest. He pulled his bead In and abnt the window quietly before apeak lue. "Just that blamed Idiot. Bowen, and his rattletrap." he aald dis gustedly. '8omebody'8 amacked into him. Looka aa if he tried to turn around, and they rammed Into him aotulahlps." He shook bis head wondcrlngly. "Of all the prize booba ! Come on, lct'a go down and look at the wreckage. " He looked ubout the rocn, tried the lock on the safe dcor to make hure It waa fastened, turned off the light, locked the door and they trotted downstalra. Mary waa worried. "Do yon auppose he's hurt?" Couldn't see," Dirk aald. "Hope tbey didn't hurt our car. Guess not. It'a further up the atreet." Aa they cam out Into the atreet there waa the sawnd of footsteps running, drawn by the magnet of an accident. A policeman waa visible, pounding along at the lower end of the block, hie night slirk slapping against his leg aa be ran. Bowen was nowhere to be Keen, but the atreet was com pletely blocked at the upper end by bis car, up-ended and lying on Its aide. Jammed Into the other aide, like a locomotive whose cow-catcher has scooped up a mass of debris, was a black llmnuslne with platinum trim mings. As Mnry and Dirk started for ward, the limousine's engine rnar l In reverse, freed Itself from the quivering mass of metal which was tiowen'a nuwhlne, and ihoti backward out of Nassau atreet, stopped, ahot ahead toward Broadway and waa gone. Not even the enraged pollceman'a command to atop bad any effect. He pulled bla gun. but before shotting, apparently thought of the people, who came running from all directions. Mary atopped stock atill under the shock of the realization that came to her. "Dirk! Dirk!" she acreamed suddenly. That waa the car that killed Eddie!" Dirk stopped running a second, long enough to stare at ber dumb founded, then raced on. A weav ing, unsteady figure was crawling into view from under the tangle of leatherette and canvasa that was the top of hla car. He had just gained hla feet and waa look ing In the direction taken by the departed limousine when Dirk reached him. Mary aaw him wringing one hand and cursing whole-heartedly. Between curaea be stuck the Injured finger In his mouth and sucked It. Apparently It waa the only Injury be had suffered. "What the holy jumping " He broke off aa he aaw Mary's white anxloua face at hla elbow. "Hello, Kuy:her. I'm all right. Let's get out of here leave this wreck where It la. She'll never travel again." e e But there were explanations to be given the big, breathless po liceman first, "What were yon tryln' to do, turn around In the inlddl of the block?" he accused, after Inspect ing the position of the wrecked car. Bowen took his abnse with out a word of self-defense. Mary burned with Indignation, but nowen only listened witb what she rnnld have sworn waa a self satisfied smile on hla fare, "Ynp, you're right, officer. All my fault," he kept repeating. "Anybody aee the number o' that car?" the policeman asked loudly. The curious crowd began to babble all together, but no body could give a connected atory. "I t waa IN and aomethlng " "Naw. It waa JY" The police man closed hla book in disgust. "On yer way. all of ye!" He swung hla stick menacingly. When they bad scattered be came np to Dirk. , "No. We Just came np.

Hla animosity toward Bowen aeemed in hm m.it .k. ruptly. Presently Bowen en the policeman parted, and Bowen came atralght to their car. "Where do yon want to go?" Climb In," IJlrk Invited. "No, I can get a cab," Bowen "Cet In!" Illrlr Mary moved closer to Dirk and Bowen obediently climbed In on the other side. "Let's get away from here," he aald.

"Yea, I lost a good fingernail aavlug your worthlesa bide," Bow. en agreed amiably, aqulutlug at the Injured digit by the aid of a street ugnt. Mary was almost bursting with bewilderment, and growing more curious every minute. What la It all about?" abe wailed. "You've shushed nia long enough. Tell me, or I'll scream!" "You're a bright girl, you ought to know," Dirk said. "BoOeu stopped that other car from oom Ing down Nassau atreet, all right didn't he. Do you know any other way be could hava done It? Your little friends from the speakeasy were tralllug us apparently. Well, they didn't get near enough to aee which door we were parked be fore. I gueea that ends It, (or to night, anyway.

Why not?" Is ha tha only tbug who knowa a valuable necklace when he sees It? Any crook In Christendom would have taken out after any body with no more aense than to display a thi.ig like that In a speakeasy! Might hare been that Lon Chancy waiter, for all we know." But Dirk. Mary aald. with omlnoua calm "that car waa the same car that killed Eddie. I told you that." Dirk smiled wryly down at her. "Now don't start that all over again," he said lightly. "You could not recognise a particular car of standard make, tike that. In that light, at that distance. I wouldn't put you on the stand myself with such a statement. Up- posing counsel would make mon keys out of us. You saw It under similar circumstances, bitting someone, and you were already wrought up and ready to believe It waa tha same. Consequently yon think ao. That's all." 'Ob. don t be ao so legal. Mary burled at him furiously, for lark of a more opprobrious epi thet. "I don't care what you aay. it waa tha same car. I'd swear to it!" She appealed to Bowen. Tell him It waa the aame car!" But Bowen merely ' answered, "What's the use?" Unexpectedly, even to herself. Mary began to cry, Helplesa tears rained down her cheeks, and aha covered ber faca with her bands and wept. Bowen looked atralght ahead. and said nothing. Dirk patted her knee awkwardly. "Don't, sweetheart!" he begged. "You've got to see this thing straight some time. It might aa well be now." Dirk went on, gently. "Tha trouble Is. Mary, you're taking the whole thing too hard. You oughtn't to blame Eddie ao much. A young kid like that you can't know what he was np against. No woman could. He" I understand that ha didn t do It Do you?" Mary asked, with terrible calm. She waa looking at him aa at a atranger. "Perhaps not." Dirk replied af ter a moment'a hesitation. He flushed brick-red aa be tried to meet ber eyea. Unconsciously he bad fallen into tha habit of thlnk Inr of Eddie aa a weak, torment ed boy, driven to ateallng, and n murderer by accident. Me accep ted the murder as a fact, but ha aaw extenuating circumstances. "You think him guilty and you don't blame him." Mary aald. "Well, I think him Innocent of everything except the gambling charge, but I blame him just tha same. He put himself In a posl tion where anything even thla could be aald of him, and now he can never explain himself he's dead. What if no one ever knows the papers. I mean? The police? Do you auppose It meana nothing to me that YOU think It that your father and mother think It Do you suppose It won't make a difference between us, al ways? It would be like living with a ghost Some day I'd hate you " e e e She huddled between them, dabbing her eyea with small Lall of handkerchief. If ahe had looked at Dirk, the hurt look that came Into hla eyes at her last words might have changed her, made ber weaken again. But ahe did not look up. Another traffic atop, and the three people sat uncomfortably silent. While they were waiting. Dirk reached Into the pocket of his top coat, lying on the ahelf back of them, and brought out the gun Bowen had given him. He bal anced It on his band In t,he glow of the dashllgbt. "Nice little gun," he aald judi ciously. "Got a permit to carry it?" Mary, pressed aalnat the two men by the narrowness of the car seat, dlstlncti felt bowea atart. She looked up and caught a look of embarrassment on his face. "No o," he admitted. "It'a not mine, exactly. I " Dirk squinted ai it critically. ".SU calibre Colt Isn't It? An old-timer, but it'a In good condi tion. Whore'd yon pick It up?" He darted a look at Bowen, who changed color, opened hla moth to speak, gulped and waa silent. Dirk nodded. "I thought ao," he said. Bowen burst out: "What was the use letting the kid take the rap for Sullivan law violation? If he'd lived I waa go ing to give It back to him.

And sine your muuth reflects your every mood, he sure that the frame which ahowa the reflectloa Is a lovely one. Choose a shade of lipstick which blends exactly with your rouge. If you don t wear, rouge, then get lip stick which la bright, young, nat ural looking, and cheerful. The pinkish and orange ahadea are becoming to moat women. If you are tha Spanish brunette type. you may find that the deep rose shadea are better, but. aa a rule. bright ahadea are nicer for everyone. Lipstick should be applied with the finger tlpa rather than di rectly on the lipa from tha stick" Itself. Your fingers have a tendency to make It soft and flexible and yon are leaa apt to leave barah edrea. Relax and open your mouth little way when you atart to make It up. Begin at tbe center of the upper Hp and work out ward to the edgea. Be aura that you apply along the Inner edge so that a white atreak will not be visible when you smile. You can Improve the ahape of your mouth by applying your lip stick with that Idea In mind. If your lipa are thick, keep the paste within tha line of the edge. If they are thin, carefully apply it over the natural line of your lipa with the cuhlon of your fore-finger. It will take a good deal of practice to perfect thla trick, for, unleaa you are ex tremely careful, the lip rouge will ahow on your white akin above and below the lines of your Hps. If you have an exception ally long mouth, do not rouge your Hps way out to the cor ners. The reverse Is true If your mouth la too amnll simply be generoua with your lipstick on the corners. Unless your lips are very thick, accentuate the cupld'a bow. A little trick which you can accomplish with lipstick and one mat uas oeen uaeu lor centuries is leaving your upper Hp free of color In the very center and arching the color on the curve of the Hps on both aide of the center.

Tbe harmfulnraa of a lack of oxygen haa been demonstrated by tbe symptoms of mouataln alrknesa. In which tbe air la low In oxvgen content. When there la lark ot oxygen the person be comes blue because there la not a aufflrlent amount of oxygen cir culating la the blood. Tbe pulse becomes rapid. There are dis turbance la tha breathing, nau sea and vomiting, sllgbt fever, fatigue delirium and finally col lapse. It la found by examining the blood of patlenta with pneumonia that It contains at times a very low amount of oxygen. If oxy gen Is given to a patient with pnetimoula, the amount of oxy gen In tbe blood Is raised greatly and the patlenta thereby breathe more easily and have a better opportunity to recover. Tha use ot oxygea baa beea de layed by the necessity for tbe development of special appartua with which 11 may be supplied to those who need It. As an out growth ot thla need there baa been developed an oxygen tent which ia placed over the patient aa be I lee In bed. The gaa Is supplied to the lent from an oxy gen lank connected with a motor and with suitable device for cooling. In pneumonia consolidation of the lungs takes place and the air aparea art filled with purulent material. Therefore, It la diffi cult for the person to get enough oxygen. Thousands of case ot pneumonia hava now been treated by this method, and the results are sufficiently favorable to war rant Its consideration In every difficult case. Because the most serious cases have been aelected for thla type of treatment, It I at preaeut difficult to avaluat It alertly. Tbsre are, of course, olher type of rase la which lark of oaygeu In the blood la cnusplcU' oua such as, for example, col lapa of the lung after operation, aevttra cases of asthma, severe easva of asphyxiation, heart fail ure, and other disturbances of lit heart.
