Oregon's American Legion is raising its shine of lh
national endowment fund for orphan children of war vet
erans in the drive this month hut it is also raising ffiO.OOO
for the support of the state hospital for crippled children
given by the Doernbecher estate. What an opportunity
for Oregon citizens to make an investment in the citizen
ship of the coming generation!
RETAINING TIIK LURK.
Tho march of progress is not to drown out with the
roar (of motor boats the song yf, (tie picturesque gondolier
of tile Venetian canals nor destroy the tranquility dTthese
romantic "streets" of water and the alluring balconies over
hanging them. An appeal signed by .several hundred Ameri
can.. hoys and girls and prominent citizens- and students
definitely decided the Italian premier against permitting
the motorizing of the Venetian gondolas.
"There are some things so holy that no material gain
can justify their sacrifice," declared Premier Mussolini
upon issuing the order which preserves not only the peace
and charm of tho medieval "Queen of the Adriatic" but
the picturesque gondolier and his giaeeful gondola.
Unon its canals Venice depends for its transportation.
Like in other cities of Kumpe the volume of passenger and
freight traffic has increased manifold since the time of
tho Doges. No doubt the expedition of traffic upon the
canals would relievo congestion, and, although the gondolier.!
can propel their craft with incredible swiftness, the motori
zation of the gondola would obtain that expedition,
In the American city the primary objective is to care
for the greatest volume of traffic in the quickest possible
time.. Hut the American home, since it is not in such close
proximity to tho highways as the Venetian home is to the
waterways, is not as seiiously menaced by modern street
noises. And yet in this must, commercial of the countries
of the world, truck traffic in many cities and towns is for
bidden in residential boulevards.
.'Probably the deciding factor in Venice's traffic prob
lem was the conviction that the American tourist wauls
tho gondalo and its gondolier. That citizens of the nois
iest cities of the world should object to noise in Venice
is not paradoxical as it may seem. When Murope loses i'.s
old world charm it will lose it", greatest, lure for American
visitors and that would be a catastrophe for the tourist,
centers of Murope.

LOH ANG-KUCS (AP) That 8
o'clock In 'the evening In "burg
lars' hour" Instead ot after mid
night as hitherto has been the
popular belief. Is revealed In Kta
tlslics compiled by tho Jo An
getea police department. From, 1
to 9 p. m., more bouses and stores
arc entered, more loot taken, and
more getaways made than in any
corresponding period of ull the 24
hours.
Hlrangely, too, the report says,
tho two hours Immediately fol
lowing midnight, when persons ap
pear to have the greatest fear of
burglars, are when fewer night rob
beries arc committed.
JJuring October, November, and
December, last, iJli'JO burglaries
wore reported in Dos Angeles at 6
p. m., when most families were
eating dinner, burglary business
picked up. By 7 o'clock It was well
under way and at 8 it was at flood
tide. Then It receded slowly until
3 a. when store robberies be
gan to make up for the slump In
the residential dLslricla. In the
three months, 90 residence rob
beries were reported at ti p. in., IIS
at 7, and 233 at 8. Ity It p. in., the
number had dropped to 145, und at
la, when people are returning from
ilio first movie show, the number
had diminished to 70.
At 1 a. m.. when practically the
entire city was sleeping, only 28
burglar visits were recorded, and
at 'I a- m., only 30. Most of these
were in the business districts. At
A the number, us a result of raids
en stores, had Increased to 70 but
at 4 when the milkmen and early
risers began to move about, there
were only 37. , . ,
.Of the robberies, 242 occur
red ut an unknown hour of the day
and (ins at an unknown hour of the
night.
Private residences appear to
yield the richest harvest. Tho .sta
tistics show that during the three
month period, 074, or a' little less
than one hair of tho total burg
laries, were committed in resi
dences. There wore in apart
ment houses und hotels, &01 in
business places, H'J in offices. 35 in
public buildings, and ti on vessels
at anchor in the harbor. The re
mainder of the robberies were of
miscellaneous character.
The favorite mode of entrance is
through the front door, tho report
says. Out of the 22110 robberies,
entrance to 7j0 homes was gained
tli rough doors whose locks were
picked, while 4 S7 occurred where
poisons luul unintentionally left
doors or windows unlocked and the
burglars entered without meeting
any obstacle. Two hundred and
forty-six places wore robbed,
through bodily entrance and 303
doors and windows were "jim-!
mied."
A home Is seldom robbed while !
Its tenants are sleeping. Hurglars j
do most of their work !n the night
but at hour when families are
away or so engrossed In their ra-
lio or work that (hey do not hear
(he robbers.

Show Windows
At Home
YOU can get a degree of enjoyment just by looking at
show windows . . . seeing the clocks," radios, foun
tain pens you might like, to own. But you can't be sure
you'd like them till you know their unseen merits. What
they do, how well they do it, how long they'll keep on
doing it well. ;
When you look at advertisements, you are looking at
show windoys that display not only what you see, but
what you can't see. The product, its quality, use, pleas
ure to you. All you want to know about it yours at a
glance. You don't need to walk blocks to see what's
new . . . nor look at it in doubt. Nothing doubt
i'ul is offered. It can't lie doubtful and be widely adver
tised. You are as sure of a product's worth as if you
saw it in a window, asked about it, examined it. took it
home and tried it. The facts in advertisements are the
facts of actual use.
You can get more than enjoyment out of these show
windows at home.. You can get solid economy.
HEAD THE ADYEirriSEMENTS. THEY MAKE
