Well, Jack received this paternal i(lap in the face with the btolcism mm had found to be her best pro tection in her dealings wit 11 her lutliur and her stcp-niuther.

Huo diiln't particul arly cure lor the work, and nhr had no home Ilea which might have encouraged Iter to settle dpwn and -nitiue the best of her job. She became reHtlcHs, uud her eyes turned questlonlngly to dist ant horizons, She quit, and went to Lou Angelts. In the ensuing twenty-five years aack riottner neld down many lolm, and in the puiHiiit and exe- f ul ion of them traveled the length j find breadth of the Pacific CimhI , Kates times without number, com ing to know them well. A partial luminary or vlmt she did during 1httt time will give you mime ideu 1f the tribulations, the trials and iiHi!Oiiragttmeuta which must have attended her work and her wauder lng: " in J-ob Angeles ihe worked for the telephone company, and later In a telegraph ollice; men she lett lor Portland, Oregon, and did Xi'iiiiscwork until she tired of the eternal round of sweeping, diiHting, making bed.

Jack re flii tied to Los Augeletf and went VICTIMS OF to work for a hospitul there; later she became usBistant chef in a 1 military school In Pasadeuu; tir-j lug of that, she farmed for a while,! then drove a' jitney; abandoning her jitney trade, she removed to. Trinity county, California, where she engaged In a mining venture. I Packer and Officer j Deciding there was more money to he made through huultng nior chaudlse to the miners than there was in digging for gold, she pro cured a pack outfit consisting of seven horses, two mules and ten burros, and engaged to the mer chants In town to pack their sup plies in to the mines. Doing all Lhe requisite work herself, she hu.ed .this pack truln through the inouutuihB In fair weuther and foul, summer and winter, until the diggings played out, when she sold the outfit and, having accumu lated a deserved reputation for de pendability and enterprise, was appointed a deputy sheriff or Trin ity county, a position she filled for a couple or years, packing a gun and hunting down criminals in the bills with the bust of them. Leaving Trinity, Jack went to Powers, Oregon, where she was em ploy ud in cookhouses in thai lumber town, luter going to Co qullle, following the same line of work. For tho past five or six yeaiB she bus been in Cunyonville, where the depression cnught her. Khe bus worked at anything that would bring In u dollar picking up prunes In Kcusnn, helping in the liny harvest, working In stores and cutting wood for mile to neigh boring furniH. . It was while pur suing tills latter task, not u wo man's Job by any manner of ineunB, you'll freely admit, that fortune finally ovurtook her, ahurp ly disproving the old saying that "a rolling alone gathers no moss." - Toil Has Its Reward What does this fortune consist of, do you ask? Cush, stocks, farm and city piopyrty. Its value has been reported to me by her ti lends and neighbors to ruuge anywhere, from ten thousand dol lars, to .a quarter of a million. Somewhere within these figures, lies the truth. Very shortly after the deuth of her step-mother, occurring early In December, Jack received a pll't of fH.nuo, an accumulation due her from bur grandfather's and her father's estate. In addition, she is heir to over 100 shares of Western I'll ton stocks, from the same source. She hIho finds her self sole owner of a Hiti-aere farm near Anderson, Indiana, and two hoiiHcs and lots in Peru, Indiana, exact value undetermined, (tang ed with n pre-depresnion scale, the value of this stock and the farm and city property would he very Impressive Indeed, and no doubt would give rise to the optimistic reports us to the size of her In heritance. A conservative apprais al of her holdings at the present time probably would plaee t tie value lu the neighborhood of 5-5,- 000. A fortune has a comparative value. To a multi-millionaire (25, ouu would be a mere bug of shells; to most of us It would he some thing very, ry desirable, to say the least, while to one in abso lute need It would be the fortune of Croesus. To me, Incidentally, it would be the fortune of Croesus. Midas, John II. and the Mniiu or Hyderabad, combined! Von can make up your own minds what it meant to Jin k. I asked her about that. "Well." she answered, "quite naturally it was a treniendloti! relief.

The first thing Jack Is going to do, she says. Is to go fishing, when spring comes and the waters of the mountain streams abate and clear. Bho is an ardent fishenvo mun, having practiced the art all her life. Getting about as much enjoyment (like many a fisherman I know) out of fine tackle as the a ot a itl fishing, she intends pur chasing a good fly rod she pre fers flyfishing to uny other meth odand a fine reel, line and ull that koch with them to make up a complete und eminently satisfac tory outfit.

OREGON, TUESDAY. JANUARY 14. 1936. STORAGE SPACE IS STUOEBAKER llf The Studebakers of If 36 have caused considerable comment among local motorists due to the ingenious, manner Id which body designers have provided theae au tomobiles with unasually large lug gage carrying capacity. A striking example of this waa exhibited yes terday at the showrooms of Ump qua garage located in the Medical Arts building, local Studebaker dealers, where a new Studebaker Dictator cruising sedan was dis played. Every model in each of the new lines of Studebakers, the Dictators and the Presidents, has been built with an luea of pleoaing Motorists who like to go pluces and take things with them, whether the toads be personal or "freight," Ac cording to A. E. Elliott. Not only Is that true, but each model is of fered in a variety of luggage com partment arrangements large enough to cover any whim or do sire a motorist may have. For example, the Dictator sedan Is offered in what 1b called the "custom" model, the "cruising" model, or with one or two aide mounts for spare tires. The "cus tom" model has an unusually large trunk built-in, that is, "blend ed in" with the smart contours of the car. And each of these two models may be had with either on a or two fender well mountings for the extra tires. Without fender well mountings the spare tires are carried on the floor of the luggage compartment. With fender well mountings the tire space is avail able for additional luggage.

(AP) To keep peace among the wivej of the American diplomatic corps, President Roosevelt has Issued an order deciding a dispute of lung .lauding. At issue was the question: How much latitude is allowed a chief of mission abroad on choos ing an "official hostess" for a so cial affair if he happens to be a bachelor or bis wile is away at the moment? Some ambassadors and minis ters have settled the problem to their own tastes by calling on dis tant relatives or asking some other lady outside the diplomatic set to act for them. This has aroused jculousJes and fanned Indignation among the wives of other members of lega tion or embassy stalls. They have felt entitled to the honor in Buch circumstances. A show-down came when the un identified chief of an unidentified mission brought in a young aud distant relative to receive for him at a function over tiie heads of other wives within the mission. This caused many an Indignant "Tschk! Tachk!" President Hoosevelt took , the matter personally in hand by is suing. In the form ot an executive order, "an amendment to the In structions to diplomatic officers of the United States."
