Some political dopesters are giving ham and egg a chance to win in this election, although the proposition " was defeated in a statewide vote last year. The margin of defeat was not great at that time, whereas certain new factors are regarded as favorable for ; the scheme this time. The age limit for pension recipients : has been dropped to 50 years in the hope of catching more votes from those who think they would benefit directly. Last year's vote was at a general election, while the November balloting will be by special election. This is expected to result in a nearly unanimous turnout of those in favor, while others, unattracted by other election issues, may be indifferent That will help ham and eggs. The proposal is to give $30 a week to every unem . ployed Californian of 50 years or over. A credit bank would be set up. All business not transacted in the pension warrants would be taxed 3 per cent on gross in come.. The warrants would be taxed 2 per cent a week. To get it going, a $20,000,000 state bond issue would be authorized by the vote. The California State Bankers association has an nounced that its members will not handle the warrants. It appears that if ham and eggs passes, California will have two banking systems, one operating on sound money, the other on funny money. It's a bizarre scheme that makes sound business people shudder. It's not a matter about which Oregon can be indifferent. Californians are among Oregon's best cus tomers. Klamath's exported products go largely into California, and in the Klamath Falls trading section is a generous slice of California filled with fine people. A v financial bust-up down there would be an unfortunate incident for us. Fire Prevention Year SPEAKING at Thursday's Kiwanis club luncheon, Fire Chief Keith Ambrose stated that Klamath Falls' per capita fire loss in the first nine months of 1939 was ap proximately 10 cents. The national loss runs normally at about $3.5Q. That is a remarkable showing for Klamath Falls, and if it continues to the end of the year, this city should receive national recognition for maintaining a most im pressively low fire loss. Cooperation with the fire department by the public can bring about that desirable result Under the policies developed by Chief Ambrose, the fire department's functions are not merely to put out fires that have started ; they include the extremely important job of pre venting fires by eliminating hazards and keeping the public vigilance in high gear. This is fire prevention week. A fireless week is of no consequence if it is preceded and followed by weeks marred by disastrous conflagrations. What is needed is fire prevention year. If Klamath Falls can go on to the end of 1939 with a fire loss of no more than 10 cents per capita, it can be truthfully said that it has been fire prevention year in this community. The benefits will be far-reaching. When the municipal political campaigns are on next year, nobody can promise us the underpass, because we've already got it. But never mind, there'll be some thing else to promise. News Behi BrPAULMALIX)NJff WASHINGTON, Oct. IS To keep you and th record straight on tho tricky llltlor Koosevelt peace mediation banter (which reached the climax of con fusion when Mr. Koosevolt brought Adam and Kve into the conversa tion), here Is what happened lu sido and out: 1U.AXKKT INVITATION' Openly Hiiler tossed out a blan ket invitation for neutral medi ation in the last two paragraphs of his long rcichstag speech. Na turally no one here bit at such broad bait. The subject was en tirely Ignored by both U. S. press and officials. Till must have ncltUxl der fuehrer, as 24 hours later he tofoiftl out slightly more specific halt. Anonymously he inspired ilisiwitrhe In both the l.crman ami 1'. S. presa Inviting Mr. Koosevelt by name to mediate. Still no one here bit. But tt looked to K1R and his men like Hitler might he serious and might follow with a more offi cial invitation, so a receptive mood was created for a further llerlin step. When none came two days later, authorities here began to scent a little cheese on the offer. At his press conference. Presidential Secretary Steve Early talked rath er freely off the record along the line that the Invitation was ap parently only a German trial bal loon and asked newsmen: "Why not write that?" Unfortunately some of the news men were confused about whose balloon this was, as Early had not made the point thoroughly clear. They went up to the senate. Inter viewed senators, and the resultant published interviews Indicated the senate was all for mediation right away. A peace balloon was thus artificially Inflated. One senator even proposed to adjourn congress for three days or so in order that Mr. Roosevelt (who had not yet been asked, mind you) might save the world in the interim. FICTITIOUS PRESSURE This fictitious pressure upon the president from both Germany and the senate was obviously be coming embarrassing. At the earl iest opportunity In his next press conference the president tried to get the idea over that planted press stories from' Berlin were not sufficient basis upon which to act. But he did it in a clumsy manner, by telling the pointless story about Adam not believing stories Eva read in the newspapers. In fact, he left the Impression that he was again attacking his favorite whip ping boy, the press, for publishing things "learned on high author ity," etc. This suggestion seemed to come from the wrong man, as Mr. Roosevelt has planted more "high authority" stories of a simi lar nature in the press than any one since Coolidge. He even re vived the Coolidgian White House spokesman on one occasion. In or der to get the press to publish what he did not care to Bay openly. But the proper point was not missed in Berlin. Hitler knew the Adam and Eve story meant he must submit his invitation offi cially through diplomatic channels and not through newspapers if he wanted It to be seriously consid ered. That put all balloons right back In the lap of der fuehrer. TRAGEDY OP ERRORS It was all therefore a tragedy of errors, or at least a mass ascen sion of political balloons Inflated only by conversation. Few of Mr. Roosevelt's diplo mats thought Hitler would come through with anything concrete (although they started ardently SIDE GLANCES University of Oregon is to have a bare-kneed, hip swinging drum majorette this year.

Thursday at the Intersection of 11th and Wal nut streets. He was taken to the Hillside hospital where his condi tion was reported as not critical. City police said the ear which truck Bueslng was driven by Con rad Olson, 230 Doty street.

MORRIS FISHBE1N Editor, Journal of the American Medical AHsoj-intion, And of Hygela, the Health lAgnzine Many parents who have before them the problem of children who are extraordinarily fat are willing to temporize, with the hope that the child will become thinner as it grows older and eventually de velop a normal form. Others realize that overweight in a child is a handicap to par ticipation In sports and in social life. It may produce emotional and mental reactions In the child that might mark It for life. Physicians continue to study the problem of the obese child with a view to determining what science can do to help those who are handicapped In this way. In the children's department of Co lumbia university In Now York they studied 102 children from 2 to 13 years of age whose chief problem was overweight. It was found that excessive weight at birth doos not necessar ily lead to the early onset of obesity. Children who become fat may actually b below normal weight at the tlm of birth. Analyses were made of the growth of the children's bones and slandular constitutions, for deficient action of the thyroid gland Is a cause of overweight. There are also definite changes In the body at the time when It ma tures sexually. The Investigators conoluded that the chief factor In the over weight of these children was over eating. When a child has deficient ac tion of the thyroid there la not only Increase In the body weight, but also loss of mentality. This Is not found among most children who are obese. The pituitary gland Is Impor tant for controlling growth, but none of the changes In body tis sue that occurs when there Is ex cessive activity of the pituitary gland was visible In these chil dren who were too fat. The food Intake of the fat child is so high above his needs that the excess Is stored as fat under the akin after the food necessary for a rapid rate of growth has been used up. Obese children seem to hare a speclflo capacity for stor age of fat which may perhaps be related to their heredity. The chief cure, then, for over weight In children Is control of the diet. This Is far more Important than the provision of various glsn dular products which msy hsre the capacity of speeding up the chemical activities that go on In side the body tissues. Klamath Driver Sees IBrllllant Falling Meteor M. L. Shepherd of Klamath Falls reported hero Thursday nlcht that he had seen what appeared to be an enormous meteor fall to the earth between 6 : 30 and 7 p. m. In western Modoc county. Shepherd, who was driving on the highway three miles north of Malln. said the falling body was the largest he hsd ever seen and appeared at first to be a burning airplane. He said It fell from a great height and was the color of an acetylene torch, leaving a great trail of sparks. He said the fiery body appeared to strike the earth In the vicinity of Tionesta, Calif. The phenomenon was alao seen by Earl King of Klamath Falls, who was In another car near Shep herd.
