-RECIPROCITY For If yp fornlvo men their trenpuHH0H, your

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.

All of the( cIuhkl'N of flyers face

er points out.
"Among naval flyers there were
13,728,000 miku? flown and 28 kil

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

has shrunk to one-third. Last year
there was approximately a death to
every 35 J, 7oo miles flown, indicat

Will they never cea.se picking; on the weaker sex? The!
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 !

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.
