Coplea of The Newa and Herald, together with complete lfar anatlon about the Klamath Palla market, may be obtained for the asking at any of theee offlcea The Lure Irresistible IN a recent issue of the Oregon Journal, Ralph Watson, political writer, states that the People's Power League is "on the skids" due to the personal political ambitions of its first president, Dr. J. F. Hosch. Dr. Hosch, Bend politico-physician, is a candidate for the democratic nom ination for governor. Watson says a new power organi zation has been developed with the intention of keeping it simon-pure and free from personal politics. That will be hard to do. Few men seem able to resist the temptation to attempt their own political ad ventures, once they get into something that has popular appeal. They begin to think of the "cause" in terms of votes for themselves. Dr. Francis Townsend, the leader of the Townsend pension movement, seems to be an exception to this rule. But the Townsend plan, itself, lost heavily when hun dreds of office seekers, from candidates for constable to United States senator, attempted to use it for their per sonal gain. Nice GOOFY is the term applied by the Pendleton East Oregonian, edited by Highway Commissioner Ed AldUch, to the proposed toll-supported super-highway system for the United States. Mr. Aldrich is conversant with highway financing, and what he says is of much interest. He asserts that the big mistake is made in over estimating transcontinental traffic. Out-of-state cars pay only one-tenth of Oregon's gas tax. Traffic counts show that heavy traffic is largely local. The East Oregonian continues: "The only way the proposed super-highway could be built would be on a subsidy basis by the national treas ury. Revenues from motorists could not be depended upon because the motorist pays his tax to get highways he can use . . . The idea of new cross country highways -to be financed by tolls is fantastic. If built so as to exclude local travel such highways would have but little traffic even were no tolls charged." The super-highway plan seems to have been a nice dream but nothing more, for the present, at least. Councilman Hosking told his colleagues that his car once slid two blocks down Third street. We've done a little sliding on slick, steep streets hereabouts ourselves, and we know the feeling the Third street experience must have caused in the pit of the councilman's stomach. Secretary of State Earl Snell is as careful in politics as he urges motorists to be on the highways. The Family Doctor BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association, and of Hygeia, the Health Magazine TTUMAN beings are built -1th thermostat devices which con trol their temperature. The average man has a temperature when in health of 98.6 F. His temperature is kept at this point by regulating derices in the body which get rid of excess heat or produce extra beat if that is need ed. When we perspire, water evaporates from the skin and the temperature of the body is low ered. The sensation of beat or of cold is not due to a change in the temperature of the body, but to a change In the temperature of the akin. Apparently changes in tem perature of the skin send mes sages to the brain, where there is a key-man who arranges for the temperature to be raised or lowered as needed. If you happen to have a space heater in your home, you prob ably have also a device called a thermostat. At nlgbt when you go to bed, you set it at a certain temperature. As soon as the temperature falls below that mark, a tube tilts, mercury runs down and completes an electrical connection; the heater starts and continues until the temperature of the room reaches tbe mark set. Then the tube tilts In the oppo site direction, the connection is broken and the heating stops. Now In the brain of the human being or of any other living ani mal there ts a little device that works just like that thermostat. Scientifically, It's the tuber cine reum.

Heat Is developed In every activity of every organ. Three-fourths of the energy produced by muscle action is the development of heat. some heat Is also produced in the liver and in the kidneys. The production of heat la largely con trolled by the thyroid gland, and to aome extent by the pituitary ana adrenal glands also. Then there are various ways in which the body can lose heat. When we perspire, moisture Is evaporated from the surface of the body. We lose a small amount witn tha materials excreted from the body. Most of the heat loss occurs by radiation. If the body gets too hot, the blood vessels on the surface of the body dilate, the skin gets red and tbe surrounding air takes up tbe heat.

WALLACE FORD "SWING IT SAILOR" By Paul Mai ixJN jy WASHINGTON. March 1 Little effort la being made to hide the fart that the government is deeply disturbed about business at last. Concern ia baaed not aa much on what la happening aa what has failed to happen during the last two weeks. Ordinarily at this time of year a small seasonal ex pansion develops particularly in manufacturing Industries. It has tailed to materialise. Steel pro duction (or Instance, has remain ed at 81 per cent of capacity (or (our weeks, electric power is about J per cent below last month. Both generally are up now. This may explain why recent administration talk has swung completely around on prlcea, cred it, gold. e e e UNRESPONSIVE No one seems to have found out yet what Is wrong. The U. S. chamber of commerce, for In stance, In Its current Washington review says all the elements of re covery are present (recourses, men, material) but complains business Is lagging for causes, some of which are known but others of which "remain more or leas obscure." Government economists have been surprised that recent encour aging developments have brought little noticeable response. The moderating tax bill is out now. Increaaed relief expendlturea have been authorixed. Navy expansion Is being authorixed, the treasury has uncovered a small gold rab bit. Rail rates are about to be raised. Yet business (alls to react, e e e EXPLANATIONS FALSE Prices were originally thought to be responsible (or the decline. Economists diagnosed the trouble as due primarily to the rapid rise in prices, some saying this was due to Increaaed labor costs, new taxes (social security), higher raw material prlcea and tha adminis tration contending monopolistic prices were at fault. Officialdom declined to be stampeded, confi dent that recovery would start when the decreasing price level S - 3; -o o 0 2 o p o 2 1 3? 33- o a S S S fa.

(estimated) 87.5 68.0 86.5 80.0 79 Looking ahead here now they say no substantial upturn is prob able within six months. They look (or production to hover under 80 for an indefinite period. Most agree likewise the recov ery will not be rapid like the de cline, but will develop unevenly and slowly. e e e STILL DOWNWARD Although the general trend Is still slightly downward. It has on the whole leveled off from the steep decline. Some little firming of prices has been noticed since FDR's last price talk designed to promote an upward Impetus. Wholesale prices are still going down but sensitive speculative prices (cotton for one) reacted to the president's encouragement, or to the farm-market situation. Re tail trade is holding up well. Autos are showing faint signs of a pickup. (Assemblies are 65,000 to 60,000, slightly lower than January). An early strengthen ing in textiles, boots and shoes and steel is looked for as a result of Inventory cleanups. e e e NEW INDEX A new national monthly Income figure has been worked out by Now Through Wednesday nwteTTnntrj """ lONNIf MmoOBeHMTII I I X-t "NSH H """ 1, ', ' if J COMtDV AMD MtWt SIDE GLANCES - "Harvey says he doesn't I say met the demand market baaed on national Income. Later Inventories were blamed for steepness of the decline. (Col. Ayres of Cleveland has disclosed only three other depressions In the last 100 years have been com parable in rapidity and severity and this does not include 1929-30 which was much slower). B"l the inventory angle did not G'- . the administration because o( the certainty that stocks would be de pleted this spring. Now, however. Inventories are getting cleaned up, but an unex pectedly strong decrease In Income and purchasing power have thrown their calculatlons-oft again. Their latest Information on earnings purchasing power, prices, living costs and production is tabbed in the following table which also dis closes the rise and (all of these economic (actors month by month during the last year.

It represents a com bination of cash (arm Income and non-agricultural Income seasonal ly adjusted. This new index has declined 2 points to 82.3 (or January and at that figure was 2.7 points below January 1937. Unofficial estimate for February Is 81.3, down an other point. Hunchplayers have an Idea that pessimistic psychology has, again run too far. They believe that one of tbese days, for no apparent rea sons, popular opinion may sud denly swing to more optimistic bopes. The Ayres bulletin currently contains an index of confidence. It is based on differences In cor porate bond yields. On this basis, the conclusion is reached that only once during the late unlamented grand crash was confidence lower than today. This was during the bank holiday period. The United States government inaugurated the airmail service in 1921.
