MM any or us kin recall an ole sick spell whi n we had tlio time of our lives. Here and There In Legislature I I t "Liver and lettuce are strength builders." But if you fwislv to be a real he-man, add onions. I Vpmen may not have as much sense as men, but we read somewhere that men are aifitin 'wearing the stiff collar. ' A New York giri claims she can dress in six movements, .but it would require three times as many for her to really put on some clothes, ':.' Last week tho United States senate passed a bill to cre ate a 100,000 acre national park in the Grand Teton range in Wyoming. Who ever heard of the Grande Teton range? Few people, except natives of Wyoming, perhaps, but thousands upon thousands will know of it in the coming generation. Tourists will seek it out, will carry prosperity with them dur ing the vacationing season and they will, very probably, see less in the way of majestic scenery and thrilling pano rama than Eastern Oregon offers in the Wallowa lake basin. We are losing the benefits of one of our greatest assets as long as tho Wallowa country -retains the obscurity previously enjoyed by the Grand Teton range.

Wo don't know where this- French writer jot Jiis information, but we know right well that he's mis taken. That unfortified frontier is one of the finest things on the North American continent. It would take a lot more than a dispute about rum running to cause abandonment of that magnificent policy. I ' ' I KALKM, Ore., Feb. SI AP Representative Kubll's bill to con solidate the offices of stute budget director and the stute purchasing agent in one department under tiTo direction' or state ofriciency direc tor, was defeated In the house yes terday atternoon by an overwhelm ing majority. Tho only house membera who voted with Kubll in support of his bill were Andrews, cnollda, uoldsteln, Mrs. I. of, Malar- key, and McAllister. Kubli Claimed that his mooauro would save the stuto $65,000 a year' and that combination or tho two departments! which dovetail anil overlap, would bo consistent and economical. Accusations I hut the governor and his emissaries have been lob bying vigorously uguinat his bill were mado by Kubll rrom tho rioor or the house. "Any number of members or this house." said Kubll, "have come to mo ufter visiting tho governor's ofrico to say that they must withdraw their support of tho bill. 1'reHsuro hus brought to bear agulnst them." ... Senate bill 6 which exempts rur. nl mail carriers from puylng tint stnto gusollno tux wus pusscd by GERMANY'S AMAZING. RECOVERY The current issue of The Survey-Graphic 'calls attention to the striking things that have taken place in Germany dur ing the last ten years. A series of articles on Germany's post war progress serves to emphasize the amazing way in which Oermany has survived what appeared to be final disaster. Ten years ago now Germany's outlook was of the blackest. Enemy troops, by tens of thousands, occupied German soil. The national treasury was bankrupt. The people were on the verge ot starvation. I he government, abruptly changed from a monarchy Jo it vepublic, might survive 24 hours longer.and it might noli no one could be sine. The nation's economic life had collapsed. Hundreds of. thousands of men ,wero out of worn; moreover, the currency was depreciating so fast that those who did have jobs often could not buy the bare neces sities of lifts'; with their wages. 1 Surely, anyone might have supposed that the nation would simply go to pieces. An optimist might have reckoned that in 50 years, given good luck, something liko order and prosperity would return hut not before. What has happened? The government is firmly estab lished. The specter of communism has disappeared ; so, to, has the threat of dictatorship. The currency has been stabil ized. Factories are busy aSain, and workmen are employed in many cases, for better wages than they earned before the war. The country still bears the scars of war; every family mourns a son or father who died at the front or of hi..,... in the post-war turmoil, and tho nation is loaded with a fear ful burden 'of reparations debts. Hut there is daylight ahead All m all, the recovery nl Germany, in ten short years stands as one of the most notable accomplishments of modern times. "The completed," says one writer, "are further along in their moral and physical convalescence than some of the V.U.I.JU.-H.IH. ixiwiu'iv win the titory of German v lie read any more eagerly than in this country.
