Angeles as speaker, i)t to entertain, but enlighten those tourists
about the Oregon country. What advertising is done could be done
in Los Angeles newspapers to get the crowd headed toward the
Oregon building.
This is what we believe to be direct work for the men who are
putting up their money, and work which they can see and know.
Los Angeles is fortunately the gateway which all people pass who
are westward bound, then why scatter Oregon money over the
whole eastern country when you have an opportunity to reach
these tourists at one point? 1

Growing in Every Speech
t Those who nre following President Harding on his trip to the
west are delighted to see that every speech he delivers shows
growth in the newspaperman who was selected to head this nation.
lis later speeches are gems of statesmanship and he is hand
ling world questions better and better, the deeper he goes into
them. The president, while free from clap-trap and cymlKil sound
ing, is nevertheless firm in his declarations and his conclusion!;
have been arrived at through constant and earnest study of prob
lems for the nation's good.
His administration has done remarkably well in every line of
endeavor except relieving the stockman and farmer, and the pro-
gram he has outlined on this trip indicates that insofar as it is
possible to help these industries with legislation it will be done
al the next session of congress.
If an unprejudiced person were analyzing the president's ca
reer since he entered the White House the decision would be that
he is growing very rapidly and his speeches on this western trip
give plain and distinct evidence of that fact.

for this pioneer garb week, which we are enjoying. Those of the jculls lhem husli'""ls'
ladies who dwelt upon the one great feature of old-time dress,
modesty, have developed costumes greatly admired by men and
women alike. But those who sought to overdo their attire have
not fared so well.
Undoubtedly the soft dresses of the old days with full skirts
and dainty lace neckwear nre to be desired even in these jazzy
times when the silk stocking seems to have been made to be seen.
This week is a respite from modernism and is being enjoyed
hugely by almost everyone in the city. Lockers have given up
their treasured clothing of grandmother and great-grandmother

and Mrs. Harding.
It is n fine thing. No harm can be done by fast moving people
