i Ice of that body for almost half a
century, twirled the dial comblna
I tlon on his big safe.
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.

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.

plorer, has Inspected the submarine,
the 0-12, In which he hopes to reach
the north pole, and pronounced It
suitable for his purpose. 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. A station
would be of great value to meteorolo
gists In forecasting weather."
