Matthew 6:14, 15. . j i.Mai i The importance of the tourist business to various com munities in' Oregon on such highways as the Oregon Trail will be realized by anyone who checks the number of out-of-tttate cars traveling those highways. For a hundred miles east of The Dalles Saturday a count was made of these visit ing motorists from other states. A total of 61 per cent ofi ihn ninn .'-I,.,. 4 I. K . t ! 1 . . .1 ! i me IUUI.U1 vcuiura uii me niguway, including stages ana trucks, carried licenses of other states only 39 per cent were Oregon vehicles. Considering that the count was made on Saturday when Oregon people are normally making mar keting and vacation trips, using their own roads for cross country trips more than during the week, the figures would indicate a conservative estimate of tourist business. And it means Hint mlarly 1)wo-thirds of the gasoline purchased lor travel on the main highways is paid for by visitors from other states. It means that nearly two-thirds of the food purchased by our main highway travelers is for out-of-state! visitors, that nearly two-thirds of the hotel and camp ac commodations required by motorists is paid for by non-Oregon money. And a further check shows that more than two-thirds of these outside visitors come from Califynim. Those American individuals who oppose - military pre paredness and who interpret preparedness activities of ex service men as militaristic should read a new book that has come to our attention, "All Quiet on the Western Front," by Erich Maria Remarque. This book, written by a German, it; characterized in Germany, England and this country as the greatest novel about the war. Those who did not' partici pate in active fighting will find in it the most accurate picture of the life of the common soldier we have ever seen in print. And they will find the reason why the participants in the Great War are the greatest opponents of future war, the greatest proponents of preparedness as the primary means of making future war improbable. If your conception of actual warfare is hazy, if you have received your impressions of World war experiences through a veil of sentiment and re ticense, read "All Quiet on the Western Front." A German soldier tells the story as it has been told before only in the hearts of those who went through it as he did. It is told beautifully, simply. im-iUHiMifctffirMflmiflii rri nvr. i h i - n .rrajoa.'i-iiirT.ri- n,- .."rrj-go. - jyawi Tin!

"Among naval flyers there were 13,728,000 miku? flown and 28 kil led," lie shows. The record' last year was 392.000 nillea flown for ench death. On the busis of the difficult flying done last year by naval aviators, thut would mean that a man could fly IS yeuiy, even If lie were a frequent flyer before he would be killed. "This genorul conclusion Is borne out by the army's experience. Army flying has almoHt tripled, in seven yea i'H, und the number of fatalities has shrunk to one-third.

Kills may lie on an equality with masculinity at the polls and probably enjoy equality-plus in the home and anywhere that, seats arc at a premium, but the moralizinu; fault-finders are! constantly reniindinjr the rate that the female of the species is decidedly not the equal of man. Nino times out of 10 the uplifters are out to uplift women. ' Whether it is because they believe masculinity incorrigible or impeccable, they leave the men pretty much to their own sins or saintlincss. Just jro back over the years and nolo the attempts to convert the erring sex. Silk stockings were nice considered shameful, and then rolled stockings were! branded as slmckinjr and now they would make the poor' things wear rolled silk stockings because bare legs are "sin-' fill." Hew like that has been the evolution of the modern dress!, As skirls shortened, sleeves vanished and necks dropped the loutier prrew the protestations of the protectors of the public morals, who saw in each development a step neaivr destruc tion and damnation. Nor are the innocent ones allowed, even in this most liberal nf ages, to lead their own lives. There are those who con demn them for smoking and would take from Ihein that privilege and pleasure. Neither have they the divine right lo deteimine the dimensions of their sun-tan. It is a hard life, this being a woman ! IIM,"JMWnlmwiii1"mfa TRY W. K. GILBERT CO. FIRST The- Looking Glass Art, 'tis said, holds a mirror up to nature. Similarly, advertising holds a mirror up to industry. Every time you read the advertisements you get a glimpse of the world of merchandise, as a wholeon display for your information. Can you afford to ignore this daily exhibition of goods and services? Not very well! Business changes rap idly. New and better products outmode old ones. Nearly every day some scientific improvement, some "better way" or new convenience is announced in the advertising columns of your paper. You shouldn't miss these things they are milestones in the forward march of civilization. Adding comfort and smartness to the home contributing zest and flavor to the sci ence of joyful living. Cultivate the habit of reading advertisements. Kead them every day. Gather the information that helps you compare and choose wisely when you buy. Be up to date! Advertisements form the mirror that reflects the progress of industry. What's A Friend Good For Anyhow? Someone said once that a friend is one that knows all your faults and is still your friend. We think, too, that a friend is someone who likes you well enough and is interested in you enough to hear all your troubles and joys and help you or congratulate you, as the case may require. When you have financial success, no one is more pleased to hear about it than your banker. When you have financial difficulty, no one is more eager to give friendly counsel and aid than your banker. He's your financial friend. If you cannot go to him with money difficulties or suc cesses and immediately secure his fiiendly at tention and interest, something must be wrong with him or, possibly, with you. lie's not only glad but anxious to be your iinaiiciai counsellor, u s Ins reason for being it's what he's good for, if he's good for an ining. any- Give your banker a chance to be a valuable friend of yours. He may not always be. able to end you all the money you want all the time but he'll be. able to tell you in good business reasons why, for your benefit as well as the bank's he thinks it shouldn't be done. And he'll always be able to give you the benefit of long financial experience, of business counsel that should prove very much worthwhile. He is truly anxious to help you realize your financial am bitions in a way that will be safe, honorable, and enduring. Member Federal Reserve National neaourccs Ovor 2 Million.
