The resolution further requested th.it such a home be located in Oregon for the-reason that Oregon is more nearly geographically een UvaJ than are other northwestern states. A national home ;s badly needed for the north-west for tin! reason that the only home west of the Rockies is now filled to capacity. Jt is very likely that congress will act favorably on this iniestion. Comes then the question : Where in Oregon should this home be located'.' This is a question that co.icern:; us a great deal. Jn all Oregon, Roseburg is perhaps the best point for the location of another soldier's home. Farm land is available and reasonably priced, loca tions for the home itself are plentiful, fuel is cheap and gen eral living costs are low because of the wide variety of farm products raised here. In addition to economic and other reasons, the climate hero is ideal for such an institution. Nearly all of the Legion posts in Oregon favor Hose burg as the location for the national home. Strange as it may seem, however, the Portland Legion posts are favor ing a point outside this .state for the home. Portland is planning lo urge that the Vancouver barracks be remodeled 'and made into a (soldiers' home. Cynical folks over the state hre saying: "Isn't that just like Portland wanting to hog .everything?" Whether it is or isn't "ju.st like Portland" is Jiot so important right now as the fact that if Portland in RtSts on carrying this to a light within the state, we will all lose. We know what happened when different sections of the stale all insisted that their own candidate be chosen on the farm board. None of the candidates in. this state were chosen because the slate could not as a whole agree on any June jnan. That is what will happen if this state divides lig.'iinst it:e!f on this soldier home location. Until we in Oregon can learn to pull together for the things we want for liie slate, we are not going to be very successful in getting in , things. ; '"Mr. E. H. Fletcher, the man who makes the -weather for ;Roseburg and Douglas county, says that he was misquoted in this newspaper last week and that the hot weather he had ordered (or predicted as he puts it) did arrive exactly us .scheduled.

By ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. D. United States Sen.; from New York. Former Commissioner of Jl- ri'h, Xew York City. MEN and women are only grown-up children. The ailments they have are much the same as those experienced by an in fant. The only practical difference is that older persons have pained strentrth and, with it, the ability to resist disease. vyjr x In the Ions hst of human ailments, trouunng jjSs'ifer;:Lk Us rom tlc craiIle to the Sro is that old enemy .

Vomiting is a common siim in infants. If fed too fast, too often, or too mud), the baby is almost sure to vomit within a few minute fi'-r the bottle Is finished.

IniJG of you to remember that babies got thirsty. Many a child wails for want of water. You know how you can suffer on a hot day without an ample Miipply of water. A little baby can suffer terribly from tho same can so. Manv n you as mother believes. that the fluid milk the baby Is triven Is all the liquid it requires. This is not the rasu. A tonpoon f ul of cool water will brin? a smile of happiness to ths face of the bahy. It is not rife to pive a tiny Infant water out of the tap or out of the well. It is rare Indeed for any ordinary drinking water to ! entirely free from Rorm life of nonie sort. This water Is not tainted sufficiently to be harmful to adults, but It micht be very disturbing to a little baby. All the water Riven an Infant should be prepared Just as care Cullv as the milk is. It should be v:i-rous!y boiled fn- a few mln uies and then poured Into a b-if;! previously ll!e-1 After this the bottle is pMppered and put away to cool. This is the only sort of water which should be given to a. Nttrw Fraturo torkt, Iw "Vi's. Ma'am" and "Yes, Sir" to mnu n iips v ha visit while I i Mink slw shnub! fiy "Yes" or "Yes, Mrs. Prady.'

Thin, too, phases the grown ups, just as the use of a person's name when we acknowledge an in troduction "How do you do, Mas. Urady" pleases the other person. I hope that you can convince your husband that, although ol course It is perlectly correct for the little daughter to say what he BuggesU, "Yes. Ma'am" and "Yes, Hir." This form of answer is old-fashioned and out-dated and the use of the title or name is vastly more interesting and gra cious. 2. She should say "Yes," or, better. "Yes, Airs. Smith." 3.

HKKCKM AN: Will you please tell me is it evec permissible for a girl to wear a diamond ring on the third fing er of the leit hand unless she is engaged? The girl hasn't any particular hoy friend but doesn't think it necessary to explalu where she received the ring. Jf It wore any other gem except a dia mond there wouldn't be any ques tion asked. If you say it would he better to wear the ring on the right hand, we will be satisfied with your decision. R. W. S. TlIEItE isn't any reason why the girl should wear the dia moud ring on the engagement fing er except the reason that runs through your question the fact that it Is so often misinterpreted and wondered alout. Therefore it seems simpler and wiser and less complicated for the young lady to chooso another finger for this kind of ring. A Young Man's Graduation Present DEAR MRS.

He sent me CHAPTKK XXX. "Ah!" interrupted Marx. "So Sewell did have it. Our friend, the Major, copped a crystal. Sewoll himself stole the stone. Never mind. Mrs. Kdlson, go ahead." "Sewell said that no matter where we went, we would he fol lowed by this Russian, who would kill him U he couldn't get hold of the stone. "So he said he'd decided on a plan. It was u very strange plan, hut I agreed to it, because be cause 1 loved him, and 1 trusted him. "We were to sail the next day at noon. Sewetl's idea was to throw the Russian off the track com pletely, and this is what he in tended: "I was to come up to the apart ment at ten in the morning. We were to meet. Sewell was to ro down to the boat, where he was sailing under an assumed name. 1 would remain, and call up the po lice, and say that I'd visited Sewell and found him dead." The girl paused. "(io ahead," barked Marx. "I'd found him dead," she repeat ed, "and I was to give the alarm. Then, after the police got through (Hiestionlng me, l was lo join him on the boat. Marx shook his head. "Of all the " "Sewell said that once the Rus sian believed him dead, he'd he safe." "Rut what about the body?" "He'd arranged for that. I was to say I'd found him lying here, and then as 1 turned to give tiie alarm the body had disappeared, presum ably dragged away by the mur derer. There was this secret pas sage to the ndjoininc apartment, tie was sure the police would find that. They'd have a mystery on their hands. And the Russian would believe Sewell was out of the way." "And ou fell for it?" "I couldn't help R. It seemed to fit in every way. His wile would think him dead. We could be mar ried in Kuione. I had some money. SellinK the diamond would make us rich. We could he happy together. "Now, what actually dldhappeu'.'" "Oh. Cod!" For once the girl j seemed genuinely distressed. "It seems like a nightmare.

The girl rose, and without fur ther word made her exit. The doc tor took up the telephone and got the Cunard Line. He asked for the traffic agent. "Could you tell me if a Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Slater sailed on the Berengarla exactly two weeks a?o?" The doctor held the phone. Marx looked at him wonderingly. "Mr. Slater sailed," the doctor repeated. "Mrs. Slater didn't. Thank you." The Aipiitania was? carrying In spector Marx and the doctor to Paris. The doctor seemed as happy as a schoolboy on a holiday, tut Marx was impatient and irritable. As the two lolled in steamer chairs the second day out, the doc tor taid: "There's nothing like the sea to reduce life to its essentials. Food, sleep and warm content men t su nerinduced by sunshine. Rut then I'm a materialist." "Surely," exclaimed the doctor, "you're not worrying about this case?" "Xo." prowled Marx "I'm taking this trip for my health." "A very worthy purpose." said the doctor. "And the department will be Elad to pay all expenses," said Marx. "They've been kinda wor ried about my health ever since I walked a beat. And I got a sneak ing feeling I'm going in walk a beat again, it' this case keeps up mur'h longer." "Don't bo absurd." hegied the doctor. "Think of the sensation vou'll create when you return. The Mayor's committee will vel eome you home. Crowds will line i Broadway to watch your triumph I al progress un from the Iiattei y ; Much paper will be hurled from of- t'iee windows.

But I don't believe in ghosts. And everybody else in 1 his case has an alibi, and good ones, too." "Mr. Slater has yet to prove one," reminded the doctor, "and let us hope, if lie's the man we want, that he can't. And 1 have a curious feeling perhaps the sea makes one an optimist but. I'm sure Mr. Slater Is our man. I fcl so strongly on the subject that I'll pay your expenses as well as my own If I'm wrong." Arriving at Cherbourg, Marx re ceived telegraph reports of the progress of Mr. Slater. The Kronen police had undertaken to keep him under surveillance. Ho spread telegrams before the doctor. "He's staying at the Claridge. Hired a suite of rooms. Spent the first night in MontmtV'tre, same aa many American tourists have un der the circumstances," the doctor commented. "Hasn't tried to see a soul yet. Well, he will." When they reached Paris a mem ber of the surete met them and entered their cab. He was a slim, dapper little Frenchman and had won a reputulion for the thorough ness of his routine investigations. "Your gentleman," he informed 'hem after he introdueed himself, "has telephoned to a Mrs. Earl St. Clair, an American widow, and has arranged an appointment at her home."
