ROSEBURG, OREGON, BUILDING Recognition of the imperative need of a new bridge over Deer creek, at North Jackson street, is so general as to admit ol iio doubt concerning the outcome of the special election on the proposed bond it. Thu amount fixed by the $37,000, appears, reasonable considering the type of bridge required for present and future traffic. Reflection reveals that an investment of that sum in a modern, enduring struc ture is to be preferred by far to endless expenditures for repairs to the present deteriorating bridge, with the city's constant exposure to the liability of damage suits. Con struction of a new span is no longer merely advisable it is an urgent necessity. Jts condition warrants no argument on that point, A heavily laden truck recently broko through the decking. Other vehicles fully as heavy, among them automobile stages carrying scores of passengers, pass over it daily.' 'The bridge forms a link in the Pacific highway. It also forms the connecting link for traffic between the cen tral portion of the city and its northern sector, containing approximately thirty per cent of the aggregate total popula tion. Roseburg wants no bridge bearing a sign "danger go slowly." While it has no money to throw away, it has the means and the willingness to meet its obligations both finan cial and moral, It need.! a new bridge and it can afford it. A sinking fund planned by the council will take care of the bonds over a ton-year tonure, and the voters should and doubtless will back the plan by a big majority. ;. . ' o - i' ' A committee from the American Bankers' association, examining the competition between railroads and motor trucks, and, busses, has discovered that motors have made -4)Ut "small 'inroad into the' railroads' buiiiness, and that the traffic lost to the railroads was of the kincMotind least ,re munerative to 'the roads. For the immediate fijture, this 'tipsweri the 'belief that the railroads are 'doomed that the , mdtpr truck and bus will make niilrfjuck as. obsolete as the '.stage coach. The automobile, rightly considered, is. a. good ijifeeder to the railroad; and, eonyersely.-lhe railroad is a good -.'.feeder i to motor transportation.' Each1 has characteristics 'which make it best suited i'oij certain Kinds of traffic. 'Rail j'.'roads in more. congested areas, aware of tliisi have gone into the mot6r transportation business themselves, using the rail-, j road terminals for their iiew motor business. Neither busi ness has hurt the other. If anything, both have profited., , -v t-1 .-. i 1 1. 1 1. , i i i . . ; . .

It has saved count '.''less lives and prevented the wrecking of many digestive ap- - paratus.es. .'. Recont developments in the cosmetics business, j-'.-.U liow. appears, are such that many freckle removers and .ihair dyes, 'riot controlled by the pure food law, are not made '"'of such stuff that thoir use results in unmitigated good.i By -i tho simple process of amendment, the law can be changed ."to include cosmetics, guarantee their purity, and their harm lessness. . And certainly no one can object to the usd of a beauty aid if it is, at its worst, guaranteed harmless. -0 Though social welfare workers still persist in criticizing .the present day flapper for some of her alleged excesses, THiBaltli experts ;a're. now almost unanimous in giving the much '."maligned little lady a rather generous O.

A Chicago doctor ,,1'flcently found, however, that this genus flapper was still , ' doing itself one great injustice submitting to one weakness .M'which is causing physical injury.

"You bet. of course this water's klnila wet, Ullt i am very tlckleU aud I'll be real brave like you." . The kind picked mi a shining shell and Scouty shouted, "Cee, that's swell. I'd like to have a lot of those to carry back to shore." Just then the queer shell opened wide. A i'unuy thing swam right outside. "Oh, my, we must have scared it. That's too bad," ex claimed King Roar. Then Scouty turned around to see just where the fuuny thing couid be. He watched it wiggle 'round a bit, their swim with all its might. And, in the meantime, old King Roar decided ho would ieave once more. When. Scouty turned to talk to him, he'd passed right out of sight. Along the bottom Scouty went. A lot of thrilling time was spent In looking over the queer shaped shells, and very pretty stones. He saw some white stuff just ahead. I'll bet that's ivory," Scouty said. But when he reached it, he just laughed. 'Twas only old fish bones. . When for an hour he'd looked about, he suddenly felt tired out. "1 must sit down," Bald he, "I wish that I was back on dock." His logs grew tired, ile couldn't stand, but didn't dare sit in the sand, so he was very tickled when he i'ound ! a mossy rock. : I . He hadn't been there very long,: when something near at hami went wrong. ; He saw a sudden swish or two, then quickly seemed to. It is estimated that the cost of er ecting suitable buildings and pur chasing needed equipment will amount to about $1,000 and the post expects to put on an effort to raise the needed funds. 0- ; ' Galvanized screen wire ut Pow ell'B.
