They are to be employed on works progress administration projects at the rate of forty or forty-four dollars a month. This means, of courso, additional spend able Income for Roscourg. We are assured that the bring ing in of transient WPA lubor does not take any work uwuy from local unemployed. The projects upon which the transient camp men will work were additional projects, over and above those required for local unemployed. Thero was evidently somo ball up of red tape or somo misunder standing regarding tho situution here. Tho relief organization car ried the transient homo as long as It could and thon was compelled to abandon it. Tho employable men were removed. When the state administration in Portland finally cleared the facts and came Into full control of the situation It promptly took over the locul transient cum p. Thus another burning problem has boon solved to tho sutlHfuctlon of ull concerned, for which wo uro duly gruletul. Quantity or Variety. AN INTKRESTINO study of the effect of good udvertlHlng plus modern transportation and refiig oratlon methods Is found in tho re cent history of tho avocudo or alli gator pear. Not so long ago this queer fruit wus to ho hud, at con sldorublo cost, only In hotel dining rooms or at expensive banquets. Many pooplo had never tasted it. During tho 1035 souson growers In California marketed an avocudo crop equal to the total crops of tho last cloven years. Consumption had been lucreusod by cooperative udvoi liHing, which tho growers group found so re munerative that It has greutly In creuKcd this your' a advertising al io wuueo. Such successful advertising oi food products, which remills In a generous gain In consumption of particular articles, always leaves u person wondering whether some other food has been dropped from American menus to muko loom for tho new one. Or Is the public merely expundlng the amount uml vurlely ot Its diet as fust as the attractive ads tell It to do so? Are wo stuffing ourselves us never beforo or are we shifting food habits? Round and Round, VTKS, that new song Is O. K. Non- seusUuI as It sounds, It means something, which Is more than could ever bo suld of "We Have No Jlanuii'is." In fuel, it means a whole lot. Not only does tho mimic go round and round. Wo ourselves go round and round. So do our bruins, our fashions, our Ideals and iuhlttu tious. So does the earth we live on. Likewise tho sun, moon and stars. Also tho universe Itself, the "turn ing one," along with Prof. Khmtein who has the key to it. And it's no uho at all to holler "Whim!" Editorials on News (Conttnuod from page 1.) king lives: "Some measure of loncein was felt late today over the condition of King (icorge, confined to his room by a cold, when the 1'rlnee pt Wales departed suddenly fiotu London by train for Sandringbam. The Duke of York already is here (The Prince of Wales and the Duke of York are sous of the king of Kngland.) 11 HAT would happen if the king " of England" should die? Well, the Prince of Wales would bocome king, and after that every thing would go on much as be fore. The king of England haB lit tle power in the IJritiBh govern ment, such power as he has de pending more upon his personal ity than otherwise. The fute of Kugland Is depen dent In no way upon the fate of the king. IT WAS different ten centuries ago. Then the king of England was the RULER of England his will absolute and his lightest word law. He had autocratic and un questioned power over the lives, the bodies and the property of his subjects. The death of tho king then meant something TREMENDOUS, for if ho wore a good king people feared that his successor would be bad and if he were a bud king they hoped his successor would be good. liut they themselves had nothing to say about it; they could only wult and tuke what came to them whether good or bad. Times huve chunged a lot since thou and for the bettor. , ADOLPHS OBSERVATIONS I reud a news Item not long ago about a baby boy who was born at the bottom of a thirty-foot well. I don't suppose there Is any fixed rule about where a guy must be born, so we'll grunt that that's the kid's own affair. It seems that the mother was drawing wuter when she slipped and fell in and of course the stork hud to come just then. The big bird leuvos the bundle from heav en in lots of funny places. He oft en visits tho cotton fields down south und numerous times ho deliv ers on door steps and In tuxlcuhs, hut this is the first occasion when he has ventured Into tho deep. Tho mother and child are doing fine hut the stork Is still in the well, which serves him right. If he wants to play stump the leader, that's his business.

"A woman In my position needs to know." She was looking into tho cupboard. "I see you've lots of eggs. And here's corn meal. (Joodl I learned to muko corn bread today. I can mnke un ome let, too. And scrump coffee. How's that?" "Sounds marvelous., I'll believe It .when I see It. ;But when your coat's dry we'll go down to Hen ry's " "iMounle! We won't either. Stop fussing and dry the dlflhes." "Uok here, ir you're really bent on doing this, I'll do the kitchen police while you stir up tho cawn pone.' " "That's un Idea! Now don't speak while I'm Measuring things or I might make a mistake." They worked together silently for u while, Stuart wus thinking how ridiculous it was to huve Shutiene thero in such a guise. S hurl one covered by a biff apron, measuring flour, beating oggs. Ho ussured himself that it wus ull a funtustlc dream, but us order cume out of chaos und appetizing odors drifted from tho hot oven, ho wus carried hack to his childhood and u big kitchen in Alabamu, his mother and Mummy Supphiru. A pervudlng sense of well-being cropt into the dream. He was being cur ed for and thought about as in thoso far-off lordly days of hifuncy. . . . Then with a shock, ho col lided accidentally with the sedu lous Shurlene. and contact with her flesh brought buck Inevitably the Shurlene of silken draw lug rooms, of swift flights, of uueuRy, mud, heurl-brcuking changes and his false sense of security vanish ed under heavy, familiar forebod ing. He said nothing until they were sitting- across from each other in the siudto ut the table drawn up before tlie fire. Shuiiene's cheeks were flaming and ho (bought he had never suen her so beautiful. Shu wutched him anxiously un til he had hud bis first mouihlul of the delicate crumbly corn bread. "Perfect!" he shouted. "Why, Sharlcue, who would have believ ed It!" She relaxed with, an ecstatic smile. "Oli, I'm mi tickled! Hut anyone wlih intelligence can learn lo cook If she wants to." "Rut why waul to?" he queried. "I still don't understand." She put her chin on her crossed hands him! looked ut him qulx.lc ally. "Stuart, did I remind you of anyone when you opened the door on me In the rain?" "Why, no" "Not ot u little starved kitten or anything?' "Oh. . . . You don't mean Julie?" "Yes." "Xo, yon never remind me of Julie'" He grinned sunlnnicutty. "(Hi. dear!" she siuhed. "I didn't get the ctfwt. I might just as wvll have conn in dr weather." She saw bis bewilderment. "You Kce. Julie took my plaro away from me and I wsnl to tuke her old (dace which she left behind." "What's (he joke?" "I'm not being tunny. I mean tl. 1 waul (o tako Julie's place with you. Alodel for you, keep house, eook, mend, do everything, she did." Ho stared at her In umaemeut, but he came to realize that she meant II. Then he bocau to expos tulate: "Now. Sbarleue, you can't do that! it's impossible!" "Do you uieau you cau't euduje The Race having me around?" "No though you probably would bo a nuisance." Ho grinned at her uguin. "liut, seriously, you can't leave your beautiful homo and comfort and come up hero to drudge R'b unthinkable! What sort of Quixotic notion huve you got In your mind?" "Listen, Stuart. First, Pd prom ise not to be a nuisance. Second, this isn't drudgery to me; -l like It. Mother hud ull the fun of do ing it when she wus young. And then you're the only person f could bear to nsk to tuke euro of me. I'm broke!" "What? Oh. don't be silly! Now, tell me, what's ft really all about?" "It's true. I've lost everything. Didn't you read of the fuilure of the Standring company?" "Yes but you have other as sets " "Well some of them are frozen Just chunks of Ice! Hut most of them just melted away paying off the creditors of the company." ''1 just cuu't believe It. It seemed such u permunent fortune." "I guess money isn't one of the permanent things, aftor all. . . . I'll huve to go over everything with Kent it's complicated with Joint ownership. Hut I actuully haven't a penny to my name till he gets buck." "Of course you'll wireless him?" "I can't. Don't you see, Stuart? I'd rather starve! When ho gets back, Mr. Folsom can find out if there's anything left of my own property. Hut I won't touch Kent's money." "Listen, Shurlene. I still owe you money. This will be an excel lent time to pay It buck " . . "Oh, don't!" she cried in a stifl ed voice. Ho was surprised at the Intensity of her recoil from that painful subject. She got up from the table and went quickly over to her bag for her handkerchief. When she camo back she stood be side bis chair, pleading like a Ut ile girl: "Please, Stuart, please let me come up here and keep house, and model far you- 1 cuu save you money!" "Hut there'd be talk " "I'm not afraid of that. Are you? Besides, I'll telephone Marie launders tomorrow that I'm leaving on the night train for the east. We can rely on her to put that in cir culation. Then I'll stay closely at home here " "lxMk, Shurlene, I'll move out. After all, this is your house" "It is not!" she said indignantly. "Ami 1 won't have you moving. That's ridiculous " She broke off to go und look into the bedrooms, und cume back with fresh euthu siusm: "Why couldn't 1 huve the second bedroom?" Then ut the look on bis fnce she flushed and amended hastily: "Well, perhaps it would lie belter for me to spend the night. down at the apartment house at the foot of the hill. Could we afford thai?" He did not answer but only looked at her with unfuihotnuh'r blue eyes, quiet, a little stern. She sal down at her place at the table, almost defeated, drank her coffee slowly, thinking, and then laid down a new Imrrnge: "It's like tills: You were my best friend before (ho marriage I made such a mess of. And even now, 1- 1 haven't anyone else In the world 1 tun appeal to us I can lo you. I .... 1 don t feel such an utter ingrate to usk you. be euusv I know I can be of tuse to you. too. . . . Couldn't no forget that dreadful year we had together -und go back to the old frleud- After a moment of silence he stirred. "I'm afraid nothing can evor bring back thut old relation ship," be said quietly. Her luce quivered with sudden tears, but she held herself sternly. In check. "All right, Stuart, i n find some other way." "No," he decided suddenly. "Come If you want to. But I can't see you slaving In the kitchen. We 11 get a servant "No! Please! Not unless I fall down on my job. And If ever I gel on your nerves, or hinder your work, you must throw me out. You aren't lo be a martyr again. We're absolutely on a give-and-take ba sis 1 work for my keep,, and if rm no good, I got fired." They both laughed, but Shar- lane s laugh wus a (little shaky. TThut purl's all right. Shurlene. Just don't work too hard and don't worry. You've got a lot of courage, and tihs has been a tough break. But It'll all smooth out when Darner ell comes back." 'Oh. ... I wonder. . . ." She got tip and wandered restlessly about. "Aren't you going to show me the panel, Stuart? He turned on the lights below the picture. She looked up at it for a long time, forgetting herself in its beauty. He set up a rough sketch beside It. "I'm worried about this panel which is to fit in at the left this way. Motherhood, you see but I can t key it right for color," "Where's the baby?" She caught up a pillow and against a bright blue velvet drape, took the pose in dicated in the rough drawing. "(huts it! Stuart b tone warmed and she thrilled instantly to the change. "Swell! Your goldeu browns against that blue We'll begin on it tomorrow, eh?" "You're a brick, Stuart! I'll never, never gel tired posing for you!" And when later many times she did get tired, she never let him know it. Her muscles ached till she thought she would drop, and he did not remember to relieve her, uccustomed as he was to the tireless posing of professional mo dels. She stood hour after hour holding the prop baby, looking up at a point on the wall, until the time cume when there had to be a real baby in her arms. Then the fun began in earnest. Days of sorting over squalling models to find one thut would do. Duys when lightning work was packed into the scattered minutes when the buby wus amenable to posing. Exhausting contact with the mother, eager to get the money tho buby earned, but complaining about everything, iluving to beat milk and. ... It was appalling! Sharleuo marveled at Stuart's pa tience.

Hut above alt, she learned a new respect for this tall, silent, intent muu who worked with a passion of sincerity which excluded everything else. Patience, concentration, power of sustained effort Shurlene bad never s'-cu anything like it. Stuart came out of his absorp tion one day to notice a rabbit-like quivering of her nostrils, uud an anxious look In her eyes. "What does thut expression indi cate?" he inquired. She did not relax from her pose us she said meekly: "I'm at raid the potroant Is burning, sir." Stuart luughed und threw down his brushes. "All bunds to the res cue!"

"No. Everytbfnga paid, and I put the rest of the money in your savings account." "You're a marvel. Sharlene! he gave her the grateful praise which crowned all her efforts.

Adv. ROOSEVELT SPEAKS AT KIN'S MEMORIAL One Word Led To Another By Bugs Boer (Copyright, 1936, KinR Features Syndicate, ltic.) Commerce Moves Upstairs Just to nrove we cun do anything a iionu-Hid cun do, let's bo around the world by airyiune. We leave San Francisco on one of the China Cloud Clip pers. To Honolulu, Midway, Wake and Guam ts Manila and Canton. Anything under two thousand miles is a local stop. Anything under three thou, sand miles is a whistle stop. Anything under four thousand miles is half fare. At Canton we take the Imperial Airways glider on the narrow gauge track and follow the all scenic route to Delhi. From there we heat the magic carpet to Hag dad and skid on the dust to Cairo and Home. You have your choice of the Royal Dutch or the French Air line from Rome to Lisbon. They say the cooking is better on the Royal Dutch. From Lis bon you grab an air rattler of the French line down the west coast of Africa. The natives are hospitable and malarial. Stopping for a light meal of quinine we make the South Atlantic hop to Natal, Brazil. Now we are back in America, but on the wrong continent. A Hun-American sky-rocket will ferry you north on the Pacific coast to San Francisco. You have done everything a postcard can do, ex cept wo hope you ain't cancelled. You can go around the world in eighty days, including a sen tence of seventy days for drunken driving. There are no stop lights on the star-ballasted boulevards. It's ail ozone ballasted roadbed. Twenty-four thousand miles and not a cin der In your eye. The most pleasant thing of the entire trip is that the American Merchant Skymarlnc gets its share of the traffic. We figure to operate about one-third of the entire trip. The old China clippers are now running overhead like the cash sys tem lu a department store. h- . The new style of transports ition' is non-stop and relRable.; It ain't any novelty for Amer- ica to lead In aviation again. We started it when the Wright brothers got tangled up in a box kite at Kitty Hawk. We will finish it when one of our youngsters flies an Ironing board upside down while play ing sweet music on a piccolo. Flying Is no more a novelty than mowing a lawn and not as much work. The oceans belong to those who span them. From now on success is a parachute jump. U. S. POLITICAL OBSERVATIONS By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associat ed Press, Washington.) With so muuy fiibt-mugnltude political bombs bursting in the air, major public attention bus been diverted from the more laborious und perhaps more important spade-und-buyonui work down in the trenches. it remains true In politics, us in war, that while spectacular aer ial demonstrations may contribute to victory, it is the inmiiLiy which in lint be relied upon to tuke and hold ground, and the infantry of politics is going iuto acton. Hack in the home precincts, up through the county and state or ganizations, the skirmish lines are forming uml arc tiytng to advance. The national managers and those who aspire to be national manag ers are poring over maps and large scale plans of operation. Not much news about the inner working of political parties ever readies the public, yet these opera tions are vitul. It is tedious, sus tained, detailed organization effort which delivers the voters ut the polls, uud it is votes which win elections. Democrats Have Edge At this stage the democrats un questionably huve the edtte so tar as organization alone is concerned. They start with a holdover na tional set-up which won a sweep ing victory four years ago. They are tn office, and have the patron ace which is o power! ill an in fluence in political organization. They know, or at last think they know, who their candidate will be. However important they may be otherwise, the defections from .Mr. Itooscveli have not cut apprecia bly Into the official party inner circles.-Tlie national committee Is dominated completely by lioore velt men. One other circumstance seems worthy of notice. Conciliation of the large city democratic ma chines, which were suspected of liikewannnecs four years ago, hat been a prime objective of Chair man Farley. No one seems to doubt thut he has made murli progress.

Fess, for mer Ohio senator and former chairman of the republican nation al committee. Without discussing candidates by name, Fess forecast that some of thoso now in the field would be discarded to make way for a more out-and-out anti-new dealer. Fess visualized a republican con vention lu which no one candlduto would have a controlling bloc or votes. He forecast that tlie dele gates would be divided into half a dozen different camps, when the cenvention meets. "In all probability the man nam ed by the convention," Fess said, "may be some one not in the pub lic mind. He predicted that jnan -would be an "anti-new deal candidate," who hud not compromised with tho Koosevelt program. The republicans, he said, are headed for victory in the fall.
