He is spending some lime lu iJouglas county, making his headquarters In Oakland, ills hobby is Oregon white ouk, and he has given the fiibjcct considerable study. Largo quantities of white oak are round in western Oregon, particularly In Ueuglus county, uud Mr. Patter son hud the following lu suy con cerning it: The neurest approach to the eastern while ouk In the Pacific northwest 1b the Oregon while ouk, often referred to simply as white or Oregon ouk.

It is heuvier and harder i than eustern ouk. The wood shrinks less than that or most of the eustern ouks; this, coupled with tho hardness, suggests its suitability for flooring.

A cord of uir-dry Oregon ouk has 97 per cent of the fuel vulue of a ton of coal, und u fit) per cent greater vulue than Douglas fir. The handle industry ulwuys has consumed u large proportion of the cut of Oregon ouk. The bundles made from it include axe, hammer, hatchet, peavy, lnultoek, plck uroou, pick, pruning shear and sledgn. The principal markets uro In California and Nevadu. Small quantities are sold locally und in the middle westoin stHtes. It is said thut considerable quantities or ouk handles manufactured In Virginia uro marketed in South America. This suggests a possible extension or the outlets tor Oregon made handles. Owing to lis hardness unci less shrinkuge than eastern white oak, l he Oregon vurlety is tuiltuldo for flooring.

Among the operators was one who stood out Irom the rest Helen Schiller. She was. pretty, smart und very person uble und took little part in the gos sip of tho others. CHAPTER II Helen Schiller wus uu expert manicurist. It wus her specialty In the age of specialization, which wus just dawning In beauty par lors. Ah many us fourteen pairs of bunds passed under her skillful lingers daily. She hud regulars, of course, who were, for the half hour they sut with her over the manicuring table, intimate friends. She was a sympathetic und warm listener und many or thorn poured their wees and triumphs into her ears lu weekly instalments. All her customers, ulmost with out exception, talked ubout Ihe llileys. Tho Itileys were "promin ent women." They wero written up in magazine! uitlclcu. (Miss Gins berg, the publicity writer got one hundred and fifty dollars a week.) They guve beauty Interviews and syndicated a dully beauty guide article lu the newspupers. They acted us judges in the beauty con tests Unit were beginning to sweep Hie country and, of course, their fortune wus muguilled with each telling. Helen liked to think her own thoughts ami a silent appointment wus u rure blessing. She had never worked unv where else than for the Anustusiu chain, coining right from the manicuring ncHdemy in llrnoklyn. She had hud only one more year to graduate from hich school, but the war had lutiuglit her education to an abrupt close. Her lather had been an "enemy alien." lie was tierniHii poetic Ceriiiun-so (iernuin lu tradition i h;it alter twenty years lu Amer ica he ha dstlll been au unnatural ized "foreigner." Cross-questioned by tht registration board dur ing ihe war. (he little man saw red. Ho burst out into a torrent of Indtmiuilou und outraued pride. He would undoubtedly have been clamped ofr to jail for it. but In his t age he burst u blood vessel. Mrs. Schiller, uu apple-lacetl little hausfrau, was stunned by her husband's death. "I he two girls, Helen and Helle. were In high school. Helen hud only a year more to uruduale. It bad been Adolph's ambition to make school teachers of them. Mrs. Schiller had only one talent that she could lug eyes at the Obi made the trip by bund' Folks. iKon. Speak nit; of bands, Itoseburg is in Ihe midst of a most praine wor th effort to raise funds to buy uniforms for the municipal bund. If you hae hu opportunity to take in a show, which you have tioni time to time, the proceeds of which go toward tins purpose, it would be a public spirited action, to attend. Ven d enjoy the show, and your money would help out a oud cause. The House off Cards J.ytm.mm. -,-t - - was In the first year and she stuy ed on. The quickest trade Helen could learn to cuuble her to sup port herself und Belle, it turned out, wus manicuring. After a black mouth of job hunt ing, Helen cumo to the Thirty fourth street Anustusiu, then in churgo of Ireno Jtiley. Tho Anas tusla salons never took beginners, but Irene was uttracled by Hel en's beuuty and when Helen burst out thut she couldn't get a job be cuuse bhe wus Germuii, Irene wus sympathetic. Tho Kileys, too, hud hud their wur troubles. Helen became the highest puld beautician outside of the Fifty seventh street girls, hitting the fifty murk practically evory week. She dressed well and had a rea sonubie number of dates. She d.dn't go around with tho girls in the shop outside or hours, but there were her cousins in Brook lyn and now Hint Belle wus grown up they wero inseparable friends. They huw all the best stiows from tile top of the house und went to fiat dances und to the nicer dunce halls. Tie war. financial Independence and tiie general moral loosening up which wus the result or the peace without victory bud completely emancipated most girls. It wus the eia of the flapper and the duwn of tiie glorification uf bud man ners. It wus smart to bo bold. Pelting came Into its own as the national pastime among the young. Put Helen Schiller could not be drawn Into the inuelslrom. Three years of freedom rould not coun teract the sheltered girlhood und chiluhood Helen hud hud. Liquor made her sick. She went once on a party wilh two girls from the salon. Helen wus through with wild parlies ufter that experience. The next day the girls were po lite In their inquiries about her health. They never asked her again. It was a cold, dismal Monday morninc in November. The girl.s mumbled and snapped at one an other. A few minutes utter eicht Helen came in. her gray eyes soft as ruin. She wore a lun, belted, mlliturv raincoat and a small, tan. rubberized hat. Her escaping ash blond hair and darker long iushet, were beaded with ruindrops. She sang softly as she pulled her abbreviated one-piece dress over her head and stood tdiivering I in her 'heuiise. "io I hear you actually sininc. Helen Schiller?" declared Selnm C.ully. "Oh. Nelmu.

"OU. itai vcluui. t guess Marilyn World wur s"ikLj. .Miller is the best dancer on the stage. She does a dunce, something like this. Look." The girls were thiough their chores now. Helen stepped out into the eleured space In front of the manicuring tables and did u few tentative steps. "Swell! Atta girl, Helen. Some stopper! I didn't know it wus in you." Helen laughed gleefully. "I wish I could dunce on my toes tho way she does. Then she does a step something like this. Sort or a cuke walk." She tstrutted across the cleared space, her eyes roiling stiffly in her head. All tho girls now were singing and beating lime with their feet. So intent were they all that Miss Vera ut the door forgot her vigil, and without warning Walter Riley stood behind her In TTTB doorway, watching. His first impulse wus to smile at the charming little figure strutting lu the center of tho room. He knew her by sight even knew her name was Schiller. Then he 're membered the Riley discipline. lie was in a dilemma. He was too sen sitive to clear his throat and make his presence known. So he slipped out and then came in again bung ing the door to the reception room. Miss Vera now saw him. She gave a long piercing whistle and when Walter came through to his sister's office the salon was quiot, the girls busy at their cubicles. He looked neither to the right nor to the left, but went directly into Stella's ofiice. . He closed tho door behind him and took off his great coat. Siellu's office wus a small draw ing room in tho best West End avenue manner: luxurious Chinese rug, needlepoint chairs, tabour ets, carved figure lamps. In the center of the room there, was a carved mahogany desk and in the comer a simple stenographer's desk. No one wus in yet. Walter consulted his wrist watch. It was ten minutes to nine. Stella's sec letary wasn't duo till nine. He sat down uneasily on the edge of Stella's desk. Ought he tell Stella about the dancing outside or should ho talk to the Schiller girl himself? It wouldn't do to let discipline become lax. Still, the salon wasn't officially opgned. The girls could really do what the? liked these few minutes that they were free. But dancing was out of order. Ho frowned. He was a slim, tall, dark, nervous look ing chap, immuculately groomed in contrating dark blue uud snowy white linen. His black hair was combed buck from his rather low, square roreheud. The sculp line was a white path through tho thick blue-black hair. He had a small mustache that ho habitually gnaw ed with his strong white teeth. He bad a harassed air, but this only made bis dark, 'rather somber face more attractive. Ho had a full wide mouth and his rare smile was unexpectedly charming. Walter Itileys rather had boon Irish, his mother Polish. Tho lu. slnn of these two strains had. cur iously enough, produced in Wal ter a type that was more French or Spanish than either Irish or Polish. He huil a stoel-like frame ami he moved with a quick, tease efficiency. (To be continued) MEDAL VOTED FOR 'BILLY' MITCHELL WASHINGTON.
