Ore., on Auguat 20. 1006. under act of congress, March S. 1879 Member, Associated Press Member Audit Bureau Circulation Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY SO Klamath Falls' "city zone" has 30,000 or more population now. That is the estimate based on the school census in an area includ ing the city proper, the southeast suburbs, the settled area west of town and around Weyer haeuser mill, and the settlements extending up both sides of Upper Klamath lake for several miles. The indicated gain, over the federal census figure of 1940, is about 4000 persons. We are glad the estimated figure passes the 30,000 mark, because it emphasizes in local minds the realization that Klamath Falls is a sizeable community with the problems and responsibilities that go with a ratine in the 30.000 class. A community, in public EPLEY thinking, is a 20,000 population place until it reaches 30,000. The federal census, if taken today, would not show Klamath Falls itself up to 20,000. The indicated population on the basis of the school census is something over 17,000 for the area within the city limits. But Klamath's suburbs are close, they function as a fundamental part o.the community, and differences between city suburbs is only legal and technical. It is important to keep them that way. Most Klamath Falls affairs are of proper personal Interest to people living in the suburbs, and . -vice versa. Til Death Do Us Part A CIRCUIT judge down at Salem let loose a blast the other day on the divorce situation. The divorce rate is outrageous, Circuit Judg E. M. Page said. He stated that five years ago, divorces in the court at Salem numbered around eight a month. Now they average 50 a month. Judge Page commented that collusion and testimony falsification, both unlawful, are com mon in divorce cases. But he concluded that there is no remedy for the situation in the court. The desire to make marriages stick Will have to come from the people themselves; once a split-up gets as far as the court, it usually goes through. What the good Judge had to say about the Marion county situation can be applied almost anywhere. Our paper gave an account yester day of the high rate of divorce in this county as compared with marriage. The recent increases in divorce are a product of the confusion, uncertainties and emotional disturbances of the war period. War condi tions produce quickie marriages, split up fam ilies that would otherwise continue together on an even tenor, and create other disturbing factors that are a threat to the mnrringe in stitution. e High Before War BUT the divorce rate was high before the war. It is a major sociological problem of our time. The family, the church, the school, the moving picture, the press every educa tional and inspirational influence available might well be used in emphasis on the sanctity of the marriage vow in both its spiritual and practical importance. The legal approach to the problem is not solution in itself, but it must be generally agreed that divorces are too easy to get. It should not be possible for residents to get a divorce in an hour or a day or even a few days. We've done a lot of talking about "cool ing off" periods in industrial controversies; that device might well be put to use in domes tic controversy. We sometimes wonder if many divorces could not be stopped in the office of a lawyer. Divorce business is one of the major sources of revenue of many law offices, and the simple economic urge must be enough to cause most lawyers to take this business in stride rather than using their good offices to turn away or cancel a potential case that is worth money to them. But members of the bar might well consider their moral responsibilities in this situation, and contribute what they can to the lowering of a divorce rate that, in the words of the Marion county judge, has become outrageous. Hoyt To Denver OF interest to Oregonians in and out of the newspaper field is the announcement that Palmer Hoyt, for many years publisher of the Oregonian, is going to the Denver Post as editor and publisher Mr. Hoyt, by virtue of talent, personality and vigor, has made himself a force in the Oregon country since the days he entered newspaper work after graduation from the University of Oregon. His spirit has vitalized the Oregonian which he served in various capacities including publisher, and it has con tributed to many successful enterprises ior me public good in the vast northwest country. He will be missed out here. He will do a grand job in Denver. a a e Typographical errors never show up when they should. A headline in our paper says: "Unseasonable weather hits U. S." "Unreason able" would have been perfect, even though typographically erroneous. SIDE GLANCES Chess Champion Defeats 35 Local Players At Once J. A. Horowitz, accepted chess champion and editor of the Chess Review, wok on as local chess sharks at the Ma rine Barracks last week, and won all the games. Dr. D. H. Osborn held out against the champion longer than the others in the game that lasted from 10 p. m. Thurs day until midnight. Robert A. Mitchell, Pelican Bay Lumber company accountant, and Dr. Meyer Zeligs, navy doctor sta tioned at the Marine Barracks, held their own among the last players. Before the game started Horowitz talked - on playing chess, illustrating on a wall chess board in the Barracks li brary, the plays made in the Jap's Fate Up To MacArthur TOKYO, Feb. 5 W U. S. supreme court's rejection of Lt. Gen. Tomoyuki Yamashita's death - sentence appeal leaves : final decision up to General Mac Arthur and confirms that "the trial of war criminals definitely is a responsibility of the mili tary. . ." Allied headquarters officers, reporting these conclusions to day, said that MacArthur has had the records of Yamashita's Man ila trial for some days. There was no indication when he might act, and he has made no comment. The supreme court held that ine u. s. military trial commis sion proceeded leeallv in trvine. convicting and sentencing Yama shita to the gallows for condon ing wholesale war atrocities m the Philippines. Dissenting from the six-man majority decision, Justices Rutlcdge and Murphy termed the trial unfair and con trary to American principles of justice. game when he beat the inter national chess master. The men played in a circle, Horowitz progressing from one player to another. The group was composed of about half ci vilians and half military personnel. The World Today - By DeWTTT MacKENZIE AP World Traveler MacKENZIE The wood of the poplar tree has been used widely for the manufacture of berry baskets and crates because it is soft, tough, clear, light in weight and color, and tasteless and odorless. PARIS, Feb. 5 You get an unhappy comparison between the hard times in war ravaged France and the relative well be ing of Spain if you make the journey from Madrid to Paris by tram. Mrs. Mack and I crossed the frontier from a Spain in which we had found at a price the finest food we had seen since America e n- tered the war, to sit down in France to a potter's meal which was shockingly meagre. I'm sure you won't take this as dis paragement of La Belle France's hospitality, for she does the best she can from her Mother Hub- hard s cupboard. We mention the incident merely as part of our report on the every day lives of peoples abroad. This country has been terribly hard hit. Here's the dinner we had on one of France's crack trains: a plate of thin soup: a small portion of fish, with a few bits of boiled potato and string beans on the side, an undcrsize apple, and a demi-tasse of black ersatz coffee and that in a country whose chefs have put their hall mark on the menu of ever civil ized nation in the world. The tables of Spain's highclass hotels and restaurants, on the other hand, are groaning beneath the weight of luxury. To be sure, the poor mans table groans, too, but that's because he is pinched by the high cost of food. Thus far on our world tour we have encountered only one capital which could compete in any way with Madrid.i- And that is in Dublin, which is a modest runner-up. When you take the night train from Madrid for Paris, you awaken the next morning among the gloriously rugged peaks of the Pyrenees which form a bar rier between Spain and France. We came out of the mountains on to the Spanish coast at the famous .watering place of San Sebastian, much favored by the late King Alfonso XIII, and a little later were across the bor der into France and bowling along one of the world's most famous seasides the stretch including the resorts of Hendaye, St. Jean De Luz and Biarritz. St. Jean De Lux We were particularly interest ed in St. Jean De Luz, because oeiore we lett America a friend who knew and liked St. Jean before the war, asked us to re port on how it s faring these dire days. St. Jean De Luz is its same attractive self, and is doing famously. The lovely old town, with its fine villas and pictures que little harbor, is vibrating with Hie despite its Isolation. They say part of its DODulation is made up of Spanish repub lican reiugees, wno are sitting near the border, hoping that lightning will strike Generalis simo Franco's regime. Then too the American university for service folk at neighboring Biarritz so congested this town that many people, including some students and professors, turned to St. Jean De Luz for living accommodations.

For many nights and not long ago we were seeing the jolly face of a big, round orb as it rose majes tically in the cast and Inter flood ed long evenings with yellow light. Then for many nights we did not see the moon at all. Now here it is, a thin, shining sail In the evening sky, our nearest neighbor in the far starry spaces. An evening or two after the thin crescent is first observed, the sky will be dark enough be fore moonset for a most inter esting feature to be noted. Every month some one is puzzled that the entire circular disk of the moon may be seen; a brilliant crescent rimming the side to ward the sun while the rest Is very faintly illuminated. This has long been called "the old moon in the new moon's arms." Through telescopes, tills com bination surrounded by the rich blue of the twilight sky forms a most beautiful picture. From night to night as the crescent be comes wider, the dim part be comes harder to see. By half moon, it is invisible excepting in optical instruments. What is the explanation of the dimly visible dark section? It is turned away from the sun so re ceives no direct light. Our lunar neighbor has no atmosphere to bend light into twilight zones or to exhibit auroral effects on the night side. This faint illumina tion is "earthshine" pure and simple. Mythical moon-men on this dark side are in the lunar night, but out in their sky they behold a full earth beaming gloriously on them, an earth fully 40 times brighter than the full moon ever appears to us! No wonder then that their nocturnal landscape is so brilliantly lighted that even earth-dwellers are able to see it. Siromberg-C a r 1 s o n Radios. Derby's Music Co.
