Neighboring Hostilities
HOSTILITIES south of the California-Oregon line on
the "ham and egg" pension issue will be increasingly
' bitter for the next three weeks, coming to a climax in the
. special election November 7.
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.

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

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.

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.

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
