Its . value will be utterly lost if those who are to be kept informed once get a . suspicion that the league has any axes P to grind. ' . - - . The personnel of those backing the movement makes it more than likely that absolutely fair methods will be followed. Men like those who com- t pose the executive committee inspire a- a degree of confidence that will help i.i much in making the league's work count for something definite. ' '. The whole idea of special Washing ton correspondence in newspapers is founded on the principle that ' the V electorate cannot know1 too' much of .." what their representatives in the house and the senate are doing.1 Necessar- fly, however, a newspaper cannot fur nish all the details of the congress men's acts to its readers. Their part in pending questions must be sacri ficed at times to. the broader issues presented by 1 national politics as a whole., , Some , readers are interested; In one phase of a congressman's activ ity, some in another. A non-partisan organization, doing nothing else but collecting exact information as to the vote on 'every bill presented and every speech made, can provide much of the f detail that does not appear in the 'newspapers. With-a dependable and non-partisan body of men securing and index log ttia relation of each individual ;n; member to legislation there can be no excuse for such disputes as occasion ' ally arise between candidates as to the position which one has taken during a previous term. The ' record will be " down in black and white where all A .who take ,the trouble to investigate ; can find it , With such a .system in ( terest in national affairs should be deepened and every voter given the chance to exercise an intelligent choice as to his representative in Washing- The Test of Time Time determines whether the policies under wblcb ated are safe.

This fact emphasiz es the necessity of examining the eyes of children in the kindergarten and the first eradeg. The fact I wish most to emphasize is the importance of municipalities esetoblishing thir own eye dispensaries for the refracting 1 M ' 1. ; M . anu lurriifuin ui iuokcs ncc w kuv poorer children at least. This is an economic problem rather than -a char ity, as it would reduce the cost of edu cating the child and at the same tin e increases the efficiency of both the pupil and the teacher. , . - j Other subjects discussed at today's sessions were "School Feeding," "Tu berculosis Among School Children," i "The Conservation ' of Vision . Among' School Children,, and the "School Feed ing Movement." Speaking on the last mentioned subp'ect, Louis Stevens Bry ant, of the University of Pennsylvania said: "The greatest need of ttie school movement along this line today is not propaganda it is going forward with its own momentum. What is needed is the development of better methods in medical examination of pupils and of a system of 'school feeding', and finally the constant extension of sci entific experimentation in this field which affords an unrivaled opportun ity for the development of the science of nutrition. . Salem Lad Drowns. , Salem, Ore., Aug. 28. Karol, 16-venr-old 'son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Jaskoski, was drowned while swim ming just above the county bridge across the Willamette here yesterday afternoon about 3:80 o'clock. There were' several . boys in the water, and young Jaskoski undertook to swim to a log boom about 75 yards out. Ken- neh Pennebaker was on the log boom auu mien Jouani uuu urariy icui.i-. ed it, thinking he was perfectly safe, young Pennebaker started to walk to wards the shore on the boom. Hear ing Jaskoski call, he turned and dove in to his assistance. He got his arm around the boy's neck and tried to help him reach the boom, but Jaskoski had lost his head and grabbed him around the neck in such a way that he was lorced to break away from him in order to save himself. After doing so, however, he grabbed the drowning boy by the hair, but in the struggle lost his hold and the boy went under. The father, who is foreman in the Statesman office, was at once notified ! and rushed to the river bank but he could do nothing. The victim of the treacherous river was a pupil of the east school, ranking high in school work and being prominent in athletics. The river is being dragged but it will probably be some time before the body ie recovered as the current is strong where the accident occurred, and the body would be carried down until some eddy held it. - Paving Brings Protest. Springfieia. Ore.. Aug. 28. A pro test was filed at the meeting of the city council last night against the or dinance compelling property owners to pay for the naving of street intersec tions andSeBeys. The council favors enforcing the ordinance. The Fifth street paving was accepted and the street ordered opened. The council heard a complaint about its street work registered by Milton McKlinn, who erected his residence, according to an old city survey, and now finds that it is 17 inches in the street, and asks .- . . . . . . . , I MlesVsiRjenWMUnSam 1 Closes Saturday, August 30th Fin al Clearance Prices Now jn Effect in Prices that are far "Seethe "'" ' the city to pay for moving his home and for the new plumbing.

Paper Chase Is Attraction." ' ' Gearhart, Ore., Aug. 28. Extensive office here was robbed last night, making the second time within the past two m0nths that this office has peen enterea Dy purgiars. un me nrsi occasion only the mail sacks were dis turbed, but this time the safe was blown up and about $300 .in money and $400 in stamps taken. 'The sufe is a total wreck, and the office is strewn with scattered bits and scraps of metal from its walls and doors. It is the belief that the safe was blown' about 12 o'clock, last night, atd that it was the work of experienced men in that line. Entrance was effected through a side window which had been forced open, -. So far as can be learned no clew to the perpetrators has been found, but it is believed that they were yeggmen.
