am greatly in love with a boy who
is a year my senior. I have been
going steady with him for six
months and now he is beginning to
go out with other girls.
"ometimes he says he loves me

as if he doesn't. He used to come
and see me quite often, but now he

does, he usually tolks ubout some

liUOWN EYES.
BUOWN EYES: You may ruot
wish to break, the friendship,
but the young man is certainly do
ing bis share to destroy it. Talk
with him, ask him the reason for
his behavior, for there is no reason
why you should have to stand it.
Find other friends, do not make
yourself unhappy. Of course you
should not disregard what he is do
ing. Many a wife has had to shut
one eye to certain defects in her
husband's character, hut there is
surely no need for a young woman
to do so, in the case of u bov
friend.

Tonight there Is to be another
free stereoptienn lecture al the
South Methodist church. The
speaker is to be Miss Helen (.1 11 key
of the (). S. ('. faculty and the sub
ject Is "Oregon's Wild Flowers".
Miss Cilkey is an authority on this
subject. W hile most of us are not
making h business of raising wild
flowers yet we must remember
that the wild flowers are ihe an
cestors of our most prized culti
vated flowers. The Garden Club
cordially invites the public to
come and enjoy the lecture. It be
gins at eight o'clock.
The dispatch from Salem show
ing a H per cent increase in non
resident automobile registrations
is interesting as just another indi
cation of the importance of high
ways to the life of Oregon. Last
year there were 103,008 non-resident
permits issued.
While every state In the Fnion
was represented, 5S per cent of
cars registered were from Califor
nia. This is natural because Cali
fornia is a great state with an im
mense number of cars and one
great pav ed street runs from
southern California to Hi itisk Co
lumbla. Hut that is not all of it.
The Oregon State " Chamber of
Commerce maintuins a branch in

Angeles. It was only established
last May but from that (lute till

On the Atlantic coast there is
now a similar paved -road 2.4i0

embarrassing to the beginner,

in, to have someone ask him the 1
"Oh, that is a I , know perfectly
well. It is a well, it is something
that Mr. Blank or Mrs. Blank gave
me and I can t think of the name.''
Of course 'you can get by with
some people who do not know by
looking wise and saying, "Oh,
yes, that is called "Perennial,"

rare, not found In most of the cata

is dangerous.
The builders of that wonderful
amusement resort, Jautzeu Beach,
at Portland are alive to changing
conditions and they are not rely
ing simply on Ferris wheels and
scenic railways and bathing beau
ties for drawing power, like the
Coney Islands of the past, but they
are betting their money on the
drawing power of beautiful gar
dens and flowers and grounds.
This month they are planting 2,
000 rose bushes of 150 different
kinds just as one feature of their
gardens. People who would hardly
go to Janlzen Beach to bump the
bumps will go to enjoy the gar
dens. Once there, of course, there
is no telling to what depths they
may sink before the temptations
of the merry-go-round and the hot
dog stand. That is the idea, or at
least part of it. But this develop

four the conceit ot the man who

man who thinks he Is handsome

who can absolutely prove that his

wrong. Heady, personal pride.
They are all offensive. And then 1
buve seen the pride of the sailor in
the superb handling of his boat in
a storm, hut it is not offensive;
and the pride of the gardener, n
the miracles he hut wrought. But
we forgive the yachtsman and thp
gardener for their unblushing and
outspoken pride lu their accomp
lishments or, rather, there is
nothing to forgive. I have had to
figure this out to justify myself in
being proud of my garden. Of
course there Is a reason for It and
it Is this: If I am sailing a boat it
is not "I" but it is "we", the work
ing together of man and wind and
sea and boat. It is cooperation.
Because he knows how things
work, the laws of nature, in other
words, man is able to make the
most contrary wind carry him
where he wants to go. It Is a tri
umph, and no man Is prouder than
one w ho lias sailed a good race.
So It is w ith the gardener. He is
finding out more and more how
things work so that he can co
operate with nature. It is a part
nership. It is "we" not "I", and
though one of the partners is si
lent like the P In Smith it is
understood, and It is the garden
er's silent partner that really doe3
the work und makes the flowers.
So I extract a great deal of com
fort from this devious reasoning,
and I shall be proud of my garden
however bad it may be, with the
full confidence that It is not con
ceit nor is it neprehensible. We
have just got to be proud of our
gardens.
YOUR INCOME TAX
NO. M
Bad debts may he deducted from
gross income in computing net in
come only lor the year in which
they are ascertained to be worth
less and charged off the hAoks of
the taxpayer. The taxpayer should
attach to his return a statement
showing the property of any deduc
tions claimed for bad debts. Where
t b e surrounding circumstances
show that a debt is worthless and
uncollect i hie, and that legal ac
tion, in all probability, would not
avail, proof of these fads i.s suffi
cient of their worihlessness.
1'npaitl loans made lo relatives
or friends with little or no expec
tation of their return are not de
ductible, hut are regarded as gifts.
If a debt is forgiven, it can not be
claimed.
A valid debt proved lo be worth
less is not always a proper deduc
tion. For example, unpaid amounts
representing wages, salaries, or
similar items ot taxable income, are
not allowed as deductions unless
included in the creditor's return for
the yenr or in the previous year.
The fact that expected income was
not received does not decrease the
amount of iaable income.
