ROSEBURG, OREGON, MAKING TOOLS OF TOYS RAY LITTIE, a voturan aviator who flew the first east bound tvens-coiitinenlal air mail plane out of San Fran cisco 111 1020, and who has been flying in that service ever since, is Ketting very disillusioned about the business.of fly ing. Aviation is a dandy calling, he says, except that it is no longer thriving, It used to be dangerous and exciting; now it is neither, und the pilot's chief trouble is the bore dom that soMir.r or later settles upon him. We who are still held to the ground do nut usually look at it that way. An airplane, to us, is still a thing of wonder. The pilot belongs to a. tribe thin is set apart from people of common chiy. The race has not yet worn its wings long enough to take them for'granted. Cut Littie and most experienced pilots, we suspect, share his feelings finds that piloting an airplano is just another job. It is too safe, too certain, too regular; and because it is all of these things it has lost its kick. "All of thin, at first glance, looks like nothing but the casualxomment of a somewhat blase flyer. But it is really a synliitoin of something very important. It means that the airplane this strange, glittering new tool that mankind has;betn fumbling with for two decades has at last been about mastered. We are learning how to use it. In a very short time the country at large will share Pilot Little's opin ion .'about flying arid then we will be ready to go on and tacklo comething eUc. During' the (last 25 years or so we have developed a great many new tools'. Each, one has been a sort of toy ul first. ; Littie by little, however, vq have dis covered the ways in which they can make life freer and richer; and as those discoveries come, the tools cease to be toys and become important weapons in the fight to lift our selvTcS into i broader and more open region of existence. Wirluue not yet mastered them all. We have a great heap of them airplanes, radios, moving pictures, new chemical processes that can hit drudgery and poverty a death blow, electrical appliances that can sot us free from small tasks and petty annoyances; but we haven't yet found out how to lise them to the best advantage. They still dazzle us. Eventually we chal! master them all and take them for grant ed. When that day comes we shall be able to transform our daily life in a way wo never thought possible. So it is that Pilijt Little's remarks art- more significant than that gallant aviator dreams. They indicate that we are turning the air plane from a toy into a tool. ' " - . . o , -"fir, ('. 0, Ileinricht criminologist extraordinary, now world famous tor his achievement in connection with the D'Atitrcr.iont case, has been retained by Douglas county authorities and is in Kosobiirg now working toward a so lution of the I less murder mystery. . The fact the authori ties nro leaving no stone unturned to bring the slayer of Gcorgo Hess to justice is comforting. Crime will never flourish unchecked in thu community. POEM FOR THE DAY - By LOUIS ALBERT BANKS , , , JUNE i Sweet month of June, we're glud you're heroj We welcome you without a lean Sometimes you grow a little warm, But how delicious is your charm! Your promised bemity is no pose. For you produce the fragrant rose; Your roses always take the prize, Wave glow and warmth of sunny skies, You distance all the rest in sun And give more time for daylight fun. 1 sometimes think you slight the nights. You take such vast excursion flights In sunrise made of shining gold, And evening twilight, seldom cold. You give yourself to courting moods . Mow sweet your loving interludes! You are a famous month for brides And long and tender moonlight tides. You himst a world of uiange flowers And floral hells 'hovo wedding bowers. If through the world a vole we'd take, I'm sure you'd win the wedding cake. 'Tis pretty clear, sweet month of June, "Oh. Promise Mc's" you favorite tunc. July can play a louder flule, October wears more brilliant suit, Hut you're the gayest of the year And are the sweetest in your cheer. Indeed, we'd give them all the sack Before we'd shove you off the track. So. June, hang up your hat and stay You're welcome every single day.

Edtor of The Congregationalism Iu Ihee lossous, drawn from the Prophecy of Jeremiah, wo have already pointed out that the pro phut who sincerely and faithfully rebukes the wronys of his age, even if he does so wilh a reluct ance that only a sense of godly duty can cumuier, und even 11 he ir.moids at tf.e same nine the way of i.g:it un.i it uih, inevitably be comes denounced as a pessimist. He li fortunate if In his ear nestnets he does not provoke great hostility against himself. It was not :ong, as we have seen, until the very peop:e, his jv. u peopie, whom Jeremiah wab seekln;; to h.elp cried out for his death; mid it is interesting, also, t-j note that it was those who claliued lo be iu positions of au thority aud influence, politically and riliiiiously, who were fore most in calling for the death of this man uf real religion and ol true patriotism. Hero in our lefson the princes of the cmintiy are crying out to the king for the- death of the ptophet. How ve! y modern and related to our own day is the very thing for which these princes demand Jeremiah's death! They claimed that Jeremiah was weak enlng the hands of tho men of w;;r, ar.il that h" was endanger ing the safety of the nation. Is not this precisely the charge tht'.t hits recently been brought uentnM some outstanding leaders in the Christian lite of this coun try, the people who occupy In our day the place that Hip prophet oc cupied in the ancient life of Isiael? World Peace It would be unwise und 1 nan prop: lute to bring Into this col umn discission of the ultimate and vet y difficult qeesf Ions that relate to national defense and to Uih prohleins of world pence. Above all. it v.oiild bo out of plaei' to ronte into the area of crti.iinvrsy between the apostles of military "preparedness" and those who go to the opposite ex treme of an uncompromising ideal of nmresistnnce. But It ought to 1k manifest to any one who responds with the slightest s'Ticerily i0 the teach ings uud IdeaU of Jesti.

She will present novelty organ and piano concerts under the stage name of "Uypy Vvonne, the Gypsy organist." Mies Armour expresses hor re gret in leaving Roseburg, for she has rejected many attractive offers in tlu past In order to continue her residence here, but the installa tion of the Vltaphone equipment in the Iqcal theatre limits the field for her work iu this locality, mak ing it necessary to seek a larger city with greater opportunities. She states thai she will always con sider Roseburg her home, and will be one of the city's strongest boost ers wherever she may go.

Even if tho old and possihly . somewhat cynical maxim, "Trust in God and keep your powder dry," were to be the height of our venture in behalf of peace, it means a great deal when tho first part of that injunction means as much as the second. Whatever we think about these things, we can get some very in teresting light upon the problems and realities of our own age from this qncient story or Jeremiah. The real weakness of the time, the thing that really endangered the state and the thing that en dangers states in the modern world, Is seen quite clearly in the breakdown of real government. The king, who nominally ought to havo represented the power of the people, was a tool in the hands of the princes. When they cry for t'.u death of Jeremiah, all he can do is to re mind them that he is king only in name, and that he cannot stand out against their wishes, Thus it was that Joreniiah was cast Into a dungeon a dungeon so deep that they lot hi mdown with cords, and so foul and muddy that he sank into the mire. Retains Courage Fortunately, there was one man In the kingdom who had not lost all sense of decency or cour age. Let ns nole that he was a servant and a black man. Hut . this man, Khed melech. whose soul was clean and whose will was strong, spoke bodlv to th" king on behalf nf Jeremiah and agninst the princes. The king who had yielder to the pr'neess now yielded to his masterful ser vant, and the Ethiopian went with 30 men lo take Jeremiah out of tho dungeon. Llko most men In whom there is such a fine association of th coney with strength and courage, there was in this can. Ehed melech. a tniuh of gentleness and courtesy Jeremiah had been let i"n wi;a cords into the dun geon. Prnhibly there cords had rut painfully into his flesh, but now in pulhng him mu n,ii3 thought ful Ethiopian takes rags nnd cast off garmems. and has Jeremiah mil these under his nrmholes so "'ey may protect him fr"ii the tightening and cutting of the cords Surely there is i ""s- beautifully sugges.ive.
