TIIIS week local attention la fo- cused moro sharply upon the Pacific highway and Its problems by reason of. tlio fuel that the new ly appointed secretary und man ager of Die Pacific Highway asso ciation 1b spending a few days in UougluB county. The secretury Is C. A. Ayro. I The Pacific highway, you know, Is first lu length, first In ago or 1 tlmo of construction, first In acces- I slblllly, first In scenic beauty, first j In service to (lie greatest number of people, first in the umount of taxable property tributary to tlio road, first In the number of licens ed automobiles lu the district, but It Is far, far down tlio list lu the expenditure for maintenance and improvement. The Pacific Highway association has been for mud for the purpose of uniting tlio communities locat ed upon this hlghwuy in a fight for their common rights. If the communities botweeu Cot tage Grove and the California stute line are to continue to enjoy their rightful share of tourist travel, the Pacific highway must be maintain ed and Improved to at least the standard of (ho other major high ways In the state. Dp. to date, this has not been done. Homo lit tlo Improving has been tlono and Is being ((one but only In spots. Vast Hunts have been spout In building two new roads from Portf land as far 'fiouth as Eugene. Vlth this, BlncQ it is already dono, we need waste no time lu finding fault. Put now It Is time to do something about Improving the condition of the highway In our part of the state. The association is at work on that. Mr. Ayro will contact people In this urea to Interest thorn in the work of t lie association. Ho should be accorded the most possible as sistance In his work for whatever ho Is able to do, be It much or lit tle, will holp that much toward In creasing tlio tourist business and tourist business is worth going after. King Edward VIIL lIN'G GKOIICE V, of Kngland, the most populur and best lov ed monarch of modern times, is gone. The dashing young Prince of Wales the world's most eligible bachelor Is king, King Kdwurd Vlll. "The king Is dead; long live tho king" und with that seulenco tho Hritlsh empire comes under the "rule" of King Edward. The bite king was a man of char acter and ability. He was an uc tlvo, red-hloorlcd citizen who rose to high rank lu the Itritish navy on bis personal anility. The Eng lish take l heir navy seriously and the promotions won by the heir upparent In the English tin one who not given George because nf his tlllethut is not Ihe practice in Hi Haiti ho earned them. The youthful prince, who is now king, has likewise distinguished blmseir but along different linos He has served bis country very tuiccessfully as an ambassador of good will. He Is known ami very well liked over tlio entire world. It Is obvious that young Kint: Ed ward VIII of England will follow this far In tho footsteps of his father: He will be loved and re Hptx'trd by his vast empire.

SAFETY STRESSED licciiiiKO of a mounting toll of ac cidents on the highways and boule vards, automobile buyers, when shopping for their VJ'.W cur. have made safety u purumount consider ation, declare local ' automobile dealers. Said It. If. Wilson, local Fold dealer recently: "In my opinion. ono of tho chief reusons for Ford's outstanding sales leadership in 11)35 when ovor ono million Ford cars and trucks were sold was the careful attention which designers and engineers gave to tlio building of the Ford automobile. For instance, the purchaser does not have to pay extra money for safety glass all around. Safety glass Is needed for safe driving any where, and Is required by law In iminy stales. "Furthermore, Ford was the first low-price car lo give the publio the extra protection of a steel body, a type of construction that Is uni versally regarded as a safety fac tor of prime Importance. 'Tho Ford Motor company does not experiment with safety, and the sturdy brakes reflect that policy. They are tho safest brakes made, of sure-act Ing mechunlcul design, and they stop the car quickly and with certainty under all driving conditions. The low center of gravity on the Ford V-8 is Importunt for safe ty. Tho car 'hugs tho road, reduc ing sidesway and the chances of skidding on curves. Tho Ford V-8 motor performs more smoothly and silently than evsr. (Juietness of operation gives a greater driving steadiness, for a driver Htrained by a noisy motor Is not I he safest driver. Tho pow erful V-8 motor offera a speedy pick-up, unmatched by uny other car, regardless of price. Rapid pick up Is as essential for driving safety as good brakos."

LOVE DENIED by Louise Long and Ethel Doherty CHAPTER XUI Thero was a tremendous bustle of business about the Damerell of fices that morning. When Julie sauntered in, sho refused to be de torred by the flustered secretary und walked Into Kent's private of- llce. lie was deeply involvedj with glanced Up irritably as the Moor opened. Seeing the anxious fuce of his secretury behind Julie, he i shouted: Miss Hughes, wire my brother' in New York to come down off his ' high horse und get out here us i quick as be can. There's work here for the loafer!" i Yes, sir." The girl retired quickly. Kent paid no attention to Julie, who sat down on the edge of his desk und Inspected her lips In her vanity mirror. "I guess you didn't find uny hap py home waiting for you out lu Hevorly last night." sho observed sweetly. She wrote me she'd sold It and gone east, he said shortly. "1 went to the hotel where my clothes were sent." "Oh! So sho suid sho was going east?" "Yes. Why not?" Kent looked up at her keenly from his letters. "Oh. nothing . . . only I saw her ibis morning." Julie snapped the vanity ease shut and walked away airily toward the door. Kent followed her. "Wait a min ute. Where did you see her?" "Up at Stuart's. She's gone hack to living with her first tuudmnd! I hadn't heard she'd divorced you yet, had you?" She went out, laughing. Kent's face darkened with anger. "She cant do that to ine!" he muttered. His secretary stopped him In the outer ollico. "Ob, Mr. I lam erell. you're not going away? l'o made a dozen appointments for yon' "I've got to go. Find Stuart Pen nington's address for me.

Of course I didn't know your mother was dead that night. 1 wrote you all about that." She wus s I It-ut, remaining siaud lug so that he could neither Pit'tii forw ard, wondering If It were Rival Samaritans WW1 down nor fuel at case. Ho had to flounder on presently. "Of course that made mo seem a brute. Naturally, if I'd known about your mother 1 wouldn't huvo acted Just us I did." Her death had nothing to do witn it!" Sharleno said quietly. She was watching him intently, never taking her eyes from hi nr. It hud been that way since he had first confronted her at Stuart's front door. It embarrassed him hut the embarrassment was appar ently all on Ids side. She seemed in home still, deep way to he watching herself, too. Yet he could sense no rancor nor hatred in her tone when she spoke. She was an enigma. He moved rest lessly. "Look, Sbarleue. ho began again unwillingly, "this Julie thing was only an infatuation. 1 knew at tho time It wouldn't last." "Yes, 1 know," she said gravely. Infatuations don't last do they?" "No. That's why I said what I did. Couldn't you be big enough to forgive?" His voice broke on that word. It was hard for Kent to be hum ble, harder still to lose control this way. He took a turn or two up and down the room. Then be rushed over to her and put his bauds on her shoulders. "You love me. Shailene! You know you do! .More than anything in the world! I could always count on that. Forget what I suid. 1 was fool -1 didn't mean it!" She was looking deeply into his eyes. Me could not read her look, hut since she did not resist, him, he drew her into his arms und kissed her again and again. As Stuart drove his car Into the gai age, be noticed u handsome limousine standing at the gate. le took his many heavy packages trom the back of the ear and start ed up tho sieps.

Ho slammed about, putting thiims on the shelve, but between slams he heard ihe voices the mail's evidently raised in urgmucut. Then the front door closed with a thud. Stuart waited, tone. There was a long ileuce. He start possible .thul Sharleno would go without telling him. She was qulto alone in the stu dio, standing ut the front window. looking down the hill. When she heard Stuart's step she turned. There was greut peace in her fuce but ulso a heurt-breaking sadness. "Where's Uamorell?" "He's gone , . . You were wrong. Sttmrt. It's Just us 1 told you. 1 knew he cut himself out of my heart that night. There's no re gretno feeling left." "Sharlene are you sure? "Yes. I was fair. 1 even lot him kiss mo to see if he could stir me, as you Haid." She shuddered. ''t, told him I was going to Iteno ktomorrow. But there's really no hurry. 1 don t care about auy 'thing " ; She was picking at a bandage on her finger to hide the tears welling Into her eyes. "How did you hurt yourself?" "It's nothing paring potatoes." "Why all the drudgery, Shur lene? You didn't need to do it. You didn't need my help. Why the elnboruie pretense?" She drew buck a little, fright ened. "What do you mean?" "Eolsom says a great part of your fortune Is still intact. ou're still a very rich woman" "Oh, for pity's sake!" She flung herselt awuy. 1 can give It uway can't I?" "Just tell me this. Why did you come up hero pretending to be penniless? "Oh, Stuart, can't you see?

I'm so kjiuppy so happy!" nt. smou very sun, waning, ids blue eyes going dark. She looked up at 111 in through a maze of tears. "You do love me, Stuart us you did that night?" "Yes," he said simply. "Of course. Hut " "Oh, don't you see, ilea rest that's why I came up here? And I thought I'd failed to win buck what I'd thrown away. Hut the shrine Oh, Stuart! I love you I worship you I want you!" He dooked deeply into her eyes then suddenly believing, lie took her into his arms. And this time their kiss was not disturbed by shadow s or by ghosts. . . . Alter a long time she stirred. "Hut the money, Stuart" "We've got that licked, haven't we?" bo said with a return of the old twinkle In his eyes. To prov ed something, too. I can support you in the style to which you're unarcUKloiued! "You can support me In the style I like." she told him. "and the old money's Just our insurance. Hut I think we'd better never tell the children we have It "The children?" he asked quix- aically "Yes. .My job. Yau won't mind if I keep 'em fiom bothering you? He laughed and hugged h close. "Oh, darling, darling you ahull have your Job just io you don't forget that I'm here. . . . Tell me, bbarlene, when did you begin to love'me?" "1 think It's been always, since the day I knocked you off the horse. Kent dazzled me but 1 knew- there was uo one in the world like you, from the day I married him." They looked at each other with deep understand ing. "I put the thought of you down fiercely because 1 was eu ashamed of the way I'd treated you and becuuse I thought 1 owed him everything I could give for my lack of faith.

And dearest, 1 want you to know that the most heavenly moment of my life was that " She turned toward the painting in the niche. They both looked up at It: The Indian maid and the In dian man on the marble balcony at Jai Sammand. The steadfast love that was like a holy flame leaping In the eyes of the man. An answer ing love, holding all the tenderness and wisdom of the ages in the eyes of the woman. And the eyes of the Indian, maid, above, her gossamer veil, were the eyes of Shurlene.

Thars Gold In Them Thar Skies) Well, New York City is having a neighborly tussle with the govern ment about gold-leafing the new federal building. That doesn't mean the whole building. They Just want to touch up the dome a bit. At the time they made the origin al blueprints gold was twenty dollars an ounce. Now It's thirty-five dollars an ounce, and that's expensive weather-proof-ing. Tho difference in price proves that original blue prints were made to be changed. If an architect start ed to build a railroad roundhouse he would wind up with something built out of another material and shaped like Napoleon's three-cornered bat. We don't know why all fed eral buildings should have gold domes. They look rather bad during a depression. Of course, you can always say, "sorry, but we didn't do that. That was built during the last administration." Gold leaf on the dome Is the last word in political lu:cury. No na tion ever has so much money that it can afford to let jewelers do its Unroofing. We can't stand off the gaff very long If we allow our house painters to mix their pigments in the U. S. treasury. But the government still Insists on t painting all domes with twenty four karat leaf. Its explanation is plnusiblo und expensive. It is also healthy. It insists on gilding the dome, and suva "Tnet hnraiiuO va nn nff th ' standard is no reason we should go off the roof. ' So, even though the cellars of federal buildings are damp and ratty, the domes shall con tinue to glisten In the sun like other bald heads on man, beast or edifice. In the old days we hung pirates In the attic of the New York fed eral building. This was Included lu the regular janitor service., But that was in the old romantic days when chivalry didn't object to walk up apartments. We put in a sealed bid for gold-leafing the New York dome and might have gotten the job if we hadn't forgotten to en close samples of our work. At thirty-five dollars an ounce you ' are 'way past the boondoggling stage. ADOLPH'S OBSERVATIONS Race prejudice exists anions people In whom the rest of the world does not suspect it. For in stance, among the Scandinavians there is plenty and I noticed a peculiar illustration of it the other day. 1 was walking past ono of these new type of saloons when a young fellow came bouncing out of tho door with his nose Weeding and one eye shut, but, laughing hilar iously. The thing was so strange that I asked him what had happened und he replied, "that guy In there hit me three times in the face and said, 'get out of here you crazy Swede'," and then he luughed again. When I asltod this rllimltrn irnnf I what was funny, he answered, "I'm I a Norwegian."
