T HE main story In this newspa
per yesterday loM of the tragic
dentil of eleven year-old Archie

denial dealhs caused by fire-arms
ate occurrences which strike ter
i to falheis and mothers every
where If Ihey have a son or sons

worried parents would take every
possible precaution, let lliem see

character of the weapon and as lo
positive rules regarding carrying "
and using it.
MORE news of tragedy appeared
in yesterday's paper. The lives
of eight people were snuffed out
in a .series of week end motor ac
cidents. Oddly enough, the most
tragic accident of the group was
NOT due to carelessness. Three
deaths resulted instantly when an
old burned snag standing along'
side the Columbia river highway
fell on the automobile in which the
three peoplo were riding. Such an
accident might not happen again
In Oregon in a century and It
might happen again tomorrow. If a
personality may be pardoned, tills
writer has long feared just tills
sort of an accident having had
audi a snag fall nlOIUND his car
across tho road Willi such force
that Jhe breeze created by Its fall
ing was clearly felt In the car.
There is real danger to motorists
from these old dead and binned
trees which border the highways
in Oregon in so ninny places.

The democrats claim thai il was
Kd iiailey's gallant services as a

lues In France that won the war.
Having no dollars to risk, Mr.
Ilailey risked his life, for 130 a

more than cannon fodder it Is not
surprising thai he receives scant
credit, in comparison with his dis
tinguished rivals, even In the dem

It is entirely probably that when
the Kaiser heard that Phil .Met

him, that Julius Meier had put on
an endless succession of !9 cent

Probation officers of Oregon are
broadcasting an appeal to motor
ists, asking them to refuse to pick
up children hitch-hiking on the
highways. The practice of giving
"lifts" to these youthful hitch
hikers (both boys and girls) is re
sulting in considerable grief for
parents and serious consequences
for many children.
In every youngster, there some
time conies the "urge" to run away
from home and endure the hard
ships of life, etc., and this age of
speedy transportation makes the
running-nway process a compara
tively simple thing especially
when misguided motorists aid them
In getting over the ground rapidly.
Tho Bafest method of avoiding
trouble Is to ignore the pleas of all
the highway "Ihumbers."
And that is the surest method or
eventually eliminating these hikers
(?) who have such a decided aver
sion to walking.

It Is Interesting to read that the
American state department has
sacrificed a time-honored custom
of diplomacy to modern efficiency.
I'p to this time, nil official state
department letters have ended
with the flowery old phrase, "I
have the honor to be, sir, your
obedient servant." Now, however,
by an official order, they are to
end with the modern "Very truly
yours."
All of this Is as It should bo;
but it makes one wonder what dip
lomacy is coming lo. The very
essence of It Is high-flown phrases
nnd flowery language. What will
ever happen If It gets stripped
down to Its essentials? Can our
diplomats stand the shock?

reasonable to say thai e n ulcer
of the slomach may be the rsull
of trouble which had ils start In a
neglec ten mouth.
The first thing to do to prevent
1 rouble from the mouth is to use
Ihe toothbrush often. Select a
brush with hrislles sltfr enough to
clean between the teeth, but not
har?h enough to bruise the gums.
Care must be exercised not to in
jure the gums, finish Ihe teeth
from the gums lo the cutting edge,
not across the teeth.
Then1 are many good tooih pastes
and powders on the market. He
sure to select one which which
does not ItNtve a deposit on the
teeth. Some dentists think a pow
der Is preferable, especially if then
is stain or deposit on the teeth.
Consult your dentist about every
six months He will give you
thorough examination and repair

Republican Chairman
WASHINGTON. AUK. IS. A
mild-mannered man of the old
fashioned school teacher type, who
likes the feel of a hoe handle bet

tor general of the republican party.
Simeon P. Fess, born to extreme
poverty and schooled in the priva
tion which Is tHe traditional train
ing camp for American success,
has risen to the chairmanship of
the republican party by dint of ex
traordinary labor nnd loyalty to his
party.
He has been a stalwart since the
;old standard days of McKlnley.
The professor-legislator from Yel
low Springs. Ohio, is strinkfngly
different in type from the old time
political leader. He is the anti
thesis of Ihe "granite-jawed, thick
nocked boss wit h big black cigar

fancy not so many years ago.
Kess lines not smoke, never

Advice to Girls
By
NANCY LEE
DEAK NANCY LEE:
1 am twenty-two years of age.
I met a young man this past sum
mer four years older than X am,
and since then he has been culling
on me just once every two weeks.
A few weeks ago he told me he
.t..od me. I also love him. It is
omy fliteen minutes' drive from
his home to mine and he hus a
car. He seems to be quite sincere
about his love for me, yet he only
calls to see me every two weeks
and never offers to take me any
where but the theatre. He is a
college graduate, but rather quiet.
What can I do to make him see
me more often. I am always pleas
ant to him when 1 do see him.
' BUDDY.
pi'UDY: If the young man has
u made a declaration of his love
for you and is half-way sincere
about It, you certainly are entitled
to more of his time than he is giv
ing you now. I' n I ess, of course, he
has to work some nights, or is at
tending school. Then, I am afraid
that you will have to bring the
matter up for consideration your-'
seir, tor the very quiet young man
might be quite content to go on
the same old way. Tell him how-
much you enjoy his company and
how much It means to you. In the
meantime, unless there has been a
definite understanding, you should
cultivate other friends.
TEAR NANCY LEE:
I am a young man 19 years of
age. I go out with a girl of 19. 1
love this girl very much. And she
said she loved me too. She prom
ised to marry me as soon as I had
enough money. But lately she is
breaking dates with me and uow
she has broken one agaiti. She
broke one before and went about
with another fellow. I'll admit 1 am
jealous but 1 love her so much.
I can't bear to see her going out
with another fellow. I want her all
to myself and when I tell her this
she laughs at me and wonders
why I feel that way. She hurts
me so when she says that. Yet she
says she loves me and says I'm
the only one she'll marry. She's all
I've got to love. Please advise me
what to do. IJ. H.
BH.: If you hope to marry the
girl, you had befter set about
asserting some kind of authority
prior to that event, otherwise I
cannot see that there will be much
happiness for yon. It would seem
that she looks upon you as a "safe
thing." someone who will always
be waiting for her. should any oth
er plans that she may contemplate,
go away.
Try a period of neglect for a
while, don't wear your heart on
your sleeve, and see what that
does. If it doesn't answer. I'd ad
vise you to go away if you can.
and see what other surroundings
can do to help you find your hear
ings. After all. you are very young
io take on the responsibilities of
marriage.

CHAPTER XXXII
Noll thought for a while, hla
brows lowering.
"That matter of Faith is trash!"
he said harshly. "Their clacking
tongues should be dragged out!"
Dan'l nodded.
"Aye; but that would not stop
them. You know the men, sir.
Still, It seems Bran dor. should be
able to hush them," he added. And
after a moment more: "You mark,
he's all but deBerted us In the
cabin. He sticks much with the
men of late."
Noll's face contracted. He
touched Dani's arm.
"I've seen that he is much with
Mauger," he agreed. ' And Mau
ger " His muscles twitohed, and
he went on, under his breath:
"Mauger's whetting his knife for
me, Dan'l! I'm watchful of that
man."
"He hRs a slinking eye," said
Dan'l. "But I make no doubt he's
harmless enough, sir.- "I'd not
fear him."
"I'm not a hand to fear any
man, Dan'l," Noll said stoutly.
' Nevertheless, that twitching eye
of his frets me." He shuddered
and gripped Dan'l's arm tighter. "I
should not have kicked the man.
Dan'l. I've been a hard man too
hard; an evil man, in my day. 1
doubt the Lord has raised up Mau
ger to destroy me."
Dan'l laughed.
"Pshaw, sir! Even the Lord would
have small use for a thing like
Mauger. He waited for a moment,
thoughtfully. "Any case," he said.
"If you were minded, you could
drop him ashore at Port Russell
and be rid of him.
Noll Moved abruptly.
"Eh," he said. "I had not thought
of that." He seemed to shrink
from the thought. "But it may be
he is meant to be about me. I d
not go against the Lord. Dan'l."
Dan'l looked sidewise at the cap
tain; and there was something like
contempt In his eyes.
"If it was me," he said slowly,
"I d set the man quietly ashore.'
He turned away and left Noll to
think of the matter.
DanT wondered, all that day,
whether Noll would act; but
toward nightfall they raised
spout, and killed as dark came
upon them. That held them, for
cutting in and trying out. three
days where they lay; and they
killed once more before they made
the Bay islands. They were touch
ing at Port Russell for water and
fresh vegetables; they put in here.
When the anchor went down.
Noll sent for Brander to come
down to him in the cabin. They
had anchored at nUhtfall. and
would not go ashore till morning
When Brander came, Noll looked
at him furtively.
Brander saw the captain had
f n drinking; Noll s hands shook
and his fingers and his tongue wer
unsteady. The muscles of his face
twitched: and there was a Bible
onen in his lap and A bottle beside
him. Brander held his eyes steady.
masked what he felt. Noll beck
oned with a crooked finger.
"Come 'ere," he said huskily.
Brander faced him. They were
in the after cabin; and Noll sat
stiu.
"We're staying here a day," he
said.
Brander nodded.
"Wrood aud stores, sir, I sup
pose."
"Oh. aye: and something else.
Mr. Brander. I'm goin leave here
that man in your hoat Mauger.
Prander's lins tightened faintly;
he held his voice.
"Mauger?" he echoed "Why?
What's wrong with him?"
"Dont want him around any
more." said Noll slowly.
"Why not?" Brander Insisted.
Noll's lips twiched with the play
of Ms nerves, and he noured a
drink and lifted it to his mouth
with unsteady fingers. He set down
the glass, spilling a little of the
liquor; and he wiped his mouth
with the back of his hand.
"I had 'casion to discipline Mau
ger," he said with awkward dig
nity, his heal wagging. "I had
'casion to discipline "Maugor. An'
now he's got a knife for me. He's
goin' to kill me. 1 ought to kill
him. I ll put the man 'shore 'stead
of that.
Brander smiled reassuringly.
'Manger's harmless, sir; and he
does his work.
Noll shook his head.
! know im. He's a murd'rer.
I'm goin' to put him nshore."
The fourth mate hesitated; then
he said quietly:
"All right. If he goes, 1 go. too."
Noll's head jerked back as if he
had been struck. His red eyes
widened and narrowed again as he
peered at Brander, and he hesi
tated unsteadily.
"What's that?" he asked. "What's
that you fay?"
"1 say I'll go If he goes."
Noll's head drooped and swayed
wearily; but after a moment he
asked :
"Wha! for?""
"The man shipped for the
rrulse." said Brander. "Ho does
his work. I'll not be a party to
putting him ashore dumping him;
in this Cod-forsaken hole!"
Noll raised a hand.
'Don't speak of God." he said re
provingly. "You don' understand ;
Him. Mr. Brander." Brander said i
nothing: and Noll's hand dropped. j
and he whined: "Man can't do!
what he wants on his own ship!"!
"Io as you like, sir." Brander j
said. "1 think you should let himt
stav Ho means no harm."
Noll waved his hand.
"Oh. a' right," he agreed. "Say:

captain gol unsteadily to his feet
aud raised a threatening haud.
"When he kills me, just r'member
my blood's on your head, sir!"
Brander hesitated; his heart re
volted. Ifls impulse was to leave
the ship, to take Mauger, to trust
his luck. But he thought of Faith.
This man, her husband, was dying
he could see that; and when the
captain was gone, there would be
trouble aboard the Sally. Faith
herself meant trouble; the amber
gris in the captain's storeroom
meant more trouble. Brander knew
it might well be that Faith would
need him in that day. He could
not leave her.
"I take that responsibility, sir,'
he Raid nniellv.
Noil was slumped In his chair
again.
"Go "way," he said, and waved
his hand. "Go 'way!"
That night, In the small hours.
Noll screamed In a way that woke
the ship; he had come out of a
drunken slumber, desperate with a
vivid hallucination that appalled
him.
He thought that Mauger was at
him with a sheath-knife, aud that
Brander was 'a Mauger's back.
Faith nnd Dan'l fought to soothe
him; Faith in her loose dressing
gown, her hair in Its thick braids,
Dan'l had more eyes for Faith than
for Noll. He had never seen her
thus before; never seen her so
beautiful; never seen her, he
thought, so desperately to be de-
Bired. His lips were wet at the
sight of her.
Noll's terror racked and tore at
the man; It seemed to rip the very
flesh from his bones. Whn It
passed, at last, and he fell asleep
again, he was wasted like a corpse.
Dan'l, looking at Noll and at
Faith, wished Noll were a corpse
indeed.
A change was coming to pass In
Faith at this time. As the strength
flowed out of Noll, it seemed to
flow into her. As he weakened
she grew strong.
She had never lacked a calm
strength of her own. But she was
acquiring now the strength and
resolution of a man.
For a long time she clung to the
picture of the Noll of the past, to
the hope that the captain would
become again the man she had
married. But when Noll came back
to her that day, exhausted by the
struggle, the fire had gone out of
him. Faith perceived that he was
a weak vessel, cracking and break
ing before her eyes.
Noll was no longer a man. His
hands and his heart had not the
force needed to command the
Sally, to bring the bark safely
back to port. Yet Faith refused
to consider the chance of failure.
She would not have it said of him,
when he was gone, that he had
sailed the seas too long; that he
had failed at last, and shamefully.
She had come to look upon the
success of this last voyage of
Noll's as a sacred charge; and
when Noll's shoulders weakened
she prepared deliberately to take
the burden on her own. The Sally
must come safely home, with filled
casks for old Jonathan Felt, no
matter what happened to Noll or
to herself. The prosperity of the
Sally Sims was almost a religion
to Faith.
She had begun to study naviga
tion, more to pass the long and
dreary days than for any other mo
tive. Now she applied herself to
it more ardently. And she began,
at the same time, to study the men
about her; to weigh them, to con
sider their fitness for the respon
sibilities that must fall upon them.
The foremost hands, and particu
larly the mates, she weighed in the
balance and above all, Dan'l To
bey. For if Noll were to go. Dan'l
by all the ancient laws of the sea.
would become master of the ship:
and their destinies would He in hi?
hands.
Short of the Solandor Grounds,
they struck good whaling and lin
gered for a time. Day by day the
tuna and casks were filled; the
Sally sank lower in the water with
her Increasing loadi They were
two-thirds full, and not yet eigh
teen months out sood whaling.
At dinner in the cabin one daw
Dan'l Tohy said to Faith:
"You've brought us good luck.
Faith, by coming along this cruise.
We never did much better since
I've been with Cap'n Wing!"
Faith looked to Noll. Noll was
eating slowly, paying them no at
tention. Silence was falling upon
the captain in those days. He said
nolig; so Faith said:
"Yes, we've done well. I'm
Slad!"
Old James Ticlicl. the second
mate, looked slyly from face to
face.
. "And the gris. stowed below us
here, will make It a fine, fat cruise
for old Jonathan Felt when we
come home." he chuckled.
At the mention of the ambergris
a little silence fell. Brander was
at the table with the others. Dan'l
and Willis Cox, the third mate,
and young Roy Kilcup looked at
Brander as if expecting him to
