When the steel door opened, ne reached In and brought forth a pack age of papers sere with age. ' Long had he promisee me the op- i portunity of looking at these papers, j some of which, he said, should be read by every American. In that package were original holograph letters written by George Washington and other lumous men. They were addressed to Col. Robert Hanson Harrison, aide-de-camp on Washington's staff, and had been placed in the file of the house of representatives by Harrison's heirs in support of a Revolutionary claim. Generally speaking, little is known of these documents. Resurrected from the files of the house, although catalogued In the Library of Congress they are constructively in possession of the house. Writer Arrested- When this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swal lowed up in victory. 1 Cor. 15:54, AMERICAN FORTUNES "Three generations front shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves" was a generally accepted saying irpast years, implying that fortunes accumulated by hard work of one generation were dissipated by those of tho third generation. A recent check up reveals that this is not true of American fortunes. .; On the contrary, all of the outstanding great fortunes amassed by Americans have been increased by their heirs, with one exception, and in the latter case the heirs were sp determined to get all that was coming to them, that the for tune was diminished through legal fights. An encouraging aspect in this connection is that the bulk of this wealth is invested in industry, furnishing employment to millions and producing articles that are aiding in the improvement of the living conditions of the entire world. In addition we should take account of the great sums that nro devoted yearly to health clinics, child welfare, educa tional and philanthropic purposes of every kind, which are contributing to the betterment of mankind. While there is no doubt room for improvement in certain directions we irfust recognize the fact that there has been a great forward move in the matter of stewardship by those to whom these fortunes have been entrusted. ( y COMMUNITY SPIRIT ; ; ; The progressive spirit of our community (including every one in the two valleys) has recently been demonstrated by the success attending the visit of the Pacific Northwest Air Tour, which event was made possible by hard work on the part of the Lions Club, assisted by the Chamber of Conv merce and our merchants. Mr-" The fliers were unanimous in their praise of the arrange ments made and the treatment accorded therm, and they have gone on their way to add to the favorable advertising La Grande is receiving from all who visit here. : But the event would not have been a success without thu co-operation of the public, and the fact that such a large number paid the small entrance charge, to insure the finan cial part of the undertaking, is a real testimony to the loyalty of the people. To be sure, there were a few who viewed the event from afar off who did not realize that their mite was needed, but we are sure another time they will be glad to participate. FOl.XI) MY CII.INCK Their discovery resulted from Page's love for history and his habit of periodically going on what he de scribes as "voyages of discovery" In the house file room. Years ago, when he was an assist ant file clerk In the house. Page by sheer accident ran across this prized collection of documents. He remembers vlaldly the excitement occasioned by his discovery, and of how his Immediate superior in the file room, when first shown tho let ters, ordered all doors locked and sat down and cried like a baby. On this morning, as we rummaged through the collection, letter alter letter, In Washington's own hand writing were handed us for Inspec tion. There was one which wns particu larly Interesting. It was dated ut Mount Vernon, November lb, 1781, and was directed to Co,. Harrison. It dealt with the surrender of Com wallls at Yorktown. f 4 ib veto led i'rtMM hhuio H. H. Van Loan, magazine writer, was arrested in Los Angeles on a fugitive warrant, sworn to b his wife, charging abandonment. KXCKKPTS "I thank you for your kind con gratulations on the capitulation of Cornwallls," Washington wrote his aide-de-camp, ". . . but if it should bo the means of relaxation and sink um Into supincss & security it had better not have happened ". . . One thing we are sure- of and that is, that the only certain way to obtain peace is to be pre pared for war, " And there were others, just ns in teresting. Just as historically valu able. - One commanded his alde-de-cnmp to make sure that some soldiers afflicted with small pox were given adequate care. Page recalled that Washington himself suffered from this malady, thus explaining his in terest 1n this Incident. Another Inquired as to Col. Har rison's disposition. Washington, says Page, had a temper and this letter showed the care he exercised to have no one in his official family who would likely provoke a clash. ZONING Another incident has occurred which plainly demonstrates the desirability of a zoning ordinance for La Grande. When residents invest a considerable sum of money in locating their homes with the expectancy that they will enjoy the benefits that accrue from living in a residential neighborhood they should be protected from the incursions of business. Progressive cities throughout the United States' have ad opted regulations which insure a rational separation of business districts from residential sections, and it will be a real advance and one welcomed by all should La Grande take similar action.

CltKATTIEKS OF IIAI1IT lly Alice Judsun Peale Mothers often say that children becomo tired of eating the same food day after day, and that frequently varied menus are necessary to main tain their children's appetite. An experiment concerning this question, conducted - in the depart ment of home economics at the University of Chicago, showed this result: "Pour preschool children were served exactly the same breakfast, dinner and supper every day for about three nweeks. Moreover, the dessert lor both dinner and supper every day was canned peaches. Yet not one comment was made by the children about the sameness of the dici. . . , "Not only so, but at the close of the study when they were given an entirely different meal, with the Ice cream and cake as a party, they not only expressed no Joy save at the candles on the cake but having finished the ice cream and cake, they inquired, 'Where are the peaches?' " This experiment suggests how little bearing the factor of monotony has upon a child's appetite. Very likely the mother who is wracking her brains to give her child an Interesting variety of dishes in the hope of stimulating his appetite is only making matters worse. In all probability she Is throwing into the situation the one element that can be counted on to make a poor eater out of any child. She Is showing him that she la much concerned over what he eats. Although it may not be desirable for various reasons to give a child tho same menu' day ufter- day, it 1b helpful to know that the' question of monotony apparently has little or nothing to do with. his -appetite. Sore Throat Is , Sign of Danger, Strieker Says Hy Dr. Frederick Strieker Nearly all forma of sore throat are communicable by contact. If one child in a family has a sore throat, other children In the family are like ly to catch it also. Sore throat may be caused by any one of a number of different kinds of germs, but espe , cialiy by staphylococci or strepto cocci. Sore throats demand more serious attention than they receive In the ordinary home because they may be the only evident sign of a mild form of communicable disease such as diphtheria, scarlet fever or septic sore throat, which are usually severe and dangerous. The proper attitude for any parent to take Is J to consider every case of sore throat to be catching and to keep the af flicted person at home and to keep him away from other persons. For the sake of others it is well to remem ber that sore throats are frequently Infectious in nature and every pre- ! caution should be taken to prevent the spread oi tne disease to otners. Diseased tonsils arc a frequent cause of recurrent sore throat. The enlarged tonsils contain cavities in which disease germs may lodge and grow. Acute rheumatism and acute diseases of the heurt may start from diseased tonsils. Mere sore throats may be the be ginning of any one of a number of communicable diseases. Don't wait for the evidence of positive Illness, particularly In children. Take them to the physician when there Is a sus picion of there being any disease. It is very important that the nature of the infection be determined early. Give the physician a chance to cure the disease before It begins. People as a rule delay too long, and the physician Is not given a fair oppor tunity to prevent a serious condi tion. Cultures should be taken of both the nose and throat. Do not consider persons wits sore throat cured until symptoms have disap peared. Chronic sore throat and diseased tonsils should be taken care of, the earlier the better. Diseased tonsils are dangerous to health and should be removed if they constitute a menace to health. Procrastination may cause serious complications and predisposes to many of the com municable tlisoases. lly thu AHsorlnted Press Domestic .Washington Asnoctated Press com pilation shows population of conti nental United States as 122,728,873, Washington Senate campaign fund probers told Btudents got $2 each to vote in Pennsylvania primary.

The 0-12 Is at the navy yard awaiting recondit ioning and alterations. " Sir George said he was more than ever convincea me suomarine is me only practical means of reaching the north pole by boati It Is the explorer's intent to take the 0-12, with a crew of 18 men, pro visions for a year and fuel for 7,000 miles, to Spitsbergen, and thence over sea and under sea to the open water In Bering strait on the other side of the pole. . The 0-12 is one of several undersea boats built before the World war. It Is smaller than the average submer sible and will be renamed the Nau tilus In honor of Jules Verne's mythical craft. "Three hundred ships have been lost in vain attempts to reach the pole by crushing a path through the ice," Sir Hubert said. "I do not be lieve it can be done. We plan to cruise under the ice at a speed of not more than four knots. If we hit sub merged ice at that speed nothing will be damaged, because of the protec tive steel we plan to install. "Every 100 miles we will have' to come to the surface and take in air. If It happens to be open water we can open the hatches. If there is Ice overhead we can pierce it with a col- uipBiDie ice-oreaKer ana tnrpugn a tube. We expect to be able to pierce Ice 12 feet thick. "The purpose of the trip is purely scientific. We plan to test the be havior of the gyroscopic compass at the pole and hope also to make pre liminary vbservations of the possi bility of placing a weather bureau station In the far north.
