Telephone 10OO Still Making Trouble SALEM'S experience with newly installed traffic sig nals provides an interesting sidelight on human na ture. . The Capital Journal reports that when the lights were first installed, public cooperation was enthusiastic if not perfect Operation of the signals was remarkably successful, because everybody was obviously trying to observe the regulations. But now, the Salem paper states, the novelty is worn off. The fun of obeying the regulations is over. Now it becomes novel to disobey them. People try to beat the lights. Pedestrians sneak from curb to curb against the warning signal. Confusion and congestion are common, with the accident hazard increased materially. What has happened at Salem shows that mechan ical devices, in themselves, are not going to solve all traf fic problems. This is of interest in Klamath Falls, where there is agitation for traffic signal installation and some who agitate seem to have the idea that once the signals are in, every traffic ill will be eliminated. They are over-hopeful. The same people who now run stop signs, disregard the rights of pedestrians, dou ble park on crowded streets, etc., will still be making trouble. Once the novelty has worn off, they will prob ably perform as do their Salem brothers, making the most of a new set of possible irregularities. Mechanical devices may help, but they can't replace caution and common sense among motorists and pedestrians. Lessening a Nuisance SPEAKING at the convention of the Shasta-Cascade Wonderland association at Susanville,' Director Earl Lee Kelly of the California department of public works made a point of the fact that the Wonderland associ ation functions to a great extent in disregard of the imaginary line separating Oregon and California. ; Northern California and southern Oregon counties have much in common, as Mr. Kelly indicated. The state line between them proves an annoyance and an embar rassment. This is particularly true in the Klamath basin, where the state line divides an area that is geograph ically and economically a unit Reciprocity arrangements between Oregon and Cali fornia can do much to lessen the state line nuisance. -Recently important progress has been made along that line in connection with the use of automobile licenses by resi dents of the two states living near the state line. The office of the secretary of state has been active and help ful in working out such arrangements. Anything the Shasta-Cascade Wonderland association can do to foster reciprocity of this sort will be of real service to the residents of the Wonderland area, particu larly those living along the extreme northern fringe of California and the southern fringe of Oregon. Ten Years Ago In Klamath MAYOR TOM WATTERS and Captain 0. C. Applegate vrere arrayed In their full armor, pre pared to protect their city today when a hurry call from the depot said an excited man was demand ing to ride on the Cascade, say ing he had Just brought "them 5000 Injuns to Klamath Falls." Cautiously venturing to the rail road yards It was found that the man had delivered two of the new S000 series locomotives for use In hauling freight. With the sinking of the tun behind the western hills tonight at 4:48. Klamath's biggest deer season In history will close.

Oct. 20 P) Former President Herbert Hoover was asked today what he thought of Alfred M. Landon'a radio ad dress. Here Is his comment: "It was a good speech." Ills secretary, Lawrence Rlch ey, through whom the five-word statement was made, said Hoover would not elaborate. Landon has been reported cool to Hoover's mid-term republican convention Idea. WASHINGTON. Oct. 19 There " are only one and a half rea sons why the CIO and AFI. can not easily get together. The one Is John Lewis, and the rest of It la William Green. The distrust which these two men have for each other Is the single point upon which coming peace negotiatlona ate likely lo stall. That la the way labor men look at It. They a-e the Intimates ot both factions, and no one knows better than they, Lewis plays an excellent solo on his big bass viol, but no one can imagine him at a second 'Id die In the AKL band. Green nat urally auspects that peace will bring Lewis back to the top rf the AKL. and he might reason ably Interpret It to mean that be will be crowded out. This personal element Is such a live danger that there has been some inside talk about the ad ministration making Green an ambassador to some place or an other. No such negotiatlona have been undertaken. Green would hardly accept anything that could be offered. OPINION CHANGES Many months ago - when the break started, there was a gen eral high Impression here that the craft and industrial theories of unionising were Incompatible, vhe old AFL craft theory waa thought to be antiquated. The new CIO Industrial grouping method was the coming thing. (Even the nlgh- est in government hem to that view). Opinion has changed. Millions ot words now are being strung out along the line to Indicate lha this view still holds, that this u prevent labor peace, but the old timers do not think so. For many years Lewis and his Industrial uniona lived In the AKL craft house. In peace. Now that his organisation drive has passed Its peak, there Is no fundamental reason why he could not do it again. Also the AKL has I s trade councils in which cratt unions of a single Industry are represented (the building trades council, for one). In the recent negotiations with the railroads 21 unions were Involved, but the negotiations were conducted by an executive council of five mem bers. The A PL and CIO could work out these formerly "incompatiblw" differences In a few weeks. If It were not for the Lewis-Green sit uation. As It is. the negotiations will probably take months, or a year. BEHIND IT Hidden force behind the Lewis Green negotiations waa the rank and file In both outfits. The workers were fanning up back fires of complaints which forced the leaders to move. This may be denied, of course, but not very seriously. The White House had a hand In It aomewhere, but apparently only an Indirect hand. The gov ernment crowd. In dealing with both Lewis and Green, has been talking up peace upon orders from the top. But convincing de ntals have been made o nail sides here that any particular White House negotiator helped to get the two together. SIDE GLANCES CURT RECALCULATIONS Mr. Roosevelt's budget recalcu lations were curt. He did not play up his savings with th vigor expected by his cabinet officers who made them, and he did not Indulge In his usual recent ex uberance about the future. Reason: The loss in stock mar ket values since last March amounts to about $18,000,000,000 which Is enough to run the gov ernment for more than two years. In view of this no good guess can now be made aa to receipts at in come tax paying time next March 15. The new estimates discount receipts considerably but they really are only a balf-stabbcd guess. INSIDE SHARPSHOOTING Inside snapshooting within re publican ranks reached an all time high before Alt Landon took the radio to straighten things out. Get-together meetings which have, been held In the east lately have developed strong differences. The antl-Hamllton group bat been passing the word around that Chairman Hamilton has "gone Park avenue." They have been talking up ex-Comptroller McCarl for Hamilton'! Job. The pro-Han-lltou group bas been ahootlng at the retiring Hllles crowd. Just to make the melee general, some of the friends of both Hoover and Landon hereabouts have been trying to upset their peace meet ing at the Lowden farm. Despite their efforts there Is reason for believing nothing was discussed In the peace meeting except the Hoover plan for a mid-year con vention, and that nothing was said about leadership or retiring. All recent public and private polls have shown only the names of Landon, Vandenberg, Borah and Hoover In the running for Edward Everett HORTON "Man in th Mirror" Now Playing "DANGEROUS HOLIDAY" .0 ii i jiff ui tamil Igjl Q j mihgcftL pi- ill I II IX.

The Family Doctor This Is the last ot a series ot articles in which Dr. Morris Fish bein discusses Industrial diseases and ways in which the worker's health may be safeguarded. 11) DR. MORRIS FISHIIF.1N Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association, and ot II) ice la, the Health Mugatlne TWORKERS In foundries where " brass is made and sine la smelted sometimes develop symp toms of disease which are known to them by common trade names as brass ague, spelter shakea. and brass chills, and which are also known aa metal fume fever. The metala most commonly con cerned are lead, sine, 'galvanized Iron, and similar substances. In a typical case resulting from contact with brasa or sine, the worker begins to feel 111 after be bas been exposed to the fumes for a few hours. Quite frequently the attack (irst comes on him when he haa reached home after working all day. He feels a chill coming on, his throat gets dry, he coughs and has a feeling of oppression. If the ms.n will take a warm bath immedi ately on reaching home, he may avoid the chill. In a typical thill the whole body begins to shake. After the chill there Is sweating and prostration and the temperature may reach as much aa lol degrees F. if the man who haa had "fume fever" goes back to work he may uot have another attack Immediately but may gel one later when the same combination of circum stances develops again. The cause of metal fume fever Is alwaya the Inhalation of finely divided particles of varloua sub stances like sine oxide, maguesluii oxide, etc. Apparently the reac tion Is a protein reaction resulting from the absorption ot damaged tissue from the lung. Workers who have been exposed time and again seem to develop a sort of resistance to the condillou. Metal fume fever may be pre vented by the use of exhausts and by the use of dust respirators. Since few workers are conatautiy exposed to such fumes. It Is eauy to determine the circumstances under which the exposures most frequently occur, Usually the In halation of the fumes occurs dur ing the pouring ot melted metal or during a welding process.

A check of republican sen timent out through the country Indicates no sew names under discussion. The czar'a chair at the dis tilled spirits institute has never been filled since Forber Morgan, nephew ot Mrs. Roosevelt, died last spring. There's a reason. It did not get out at the time, but the president was disturbed about the publicity over the dis tiller's choice. He was trying to break up the business activities ot some of bis better known demo cratic committeemen. They were on too good terms with govern ment departmenta. They repre sented companiea which receive good treatment from the govern ment, and they received commen surate fees. So Mr. R. aent son James to pass around the various govern ment agencies dealing with distil lers, the word that the govern ment was to be at least as strict, and possibly more strict, In deal ing with them hereafter.
