HOOVER SPEAKS AT DEDICATION " (Continued from Pago One) 1 The Washington arms conference for limitation of battleship construc tion was cited especially. Other acts for which Mr. . Harding was given credit included reduction of the pub lic debt and taxes and veterans re lief organization. . President Hoover, who was secre tary of commerce in the Harding cab inet, denounced violations of -public trust. "The break In cr down of the faith of a people in the honesty of their government and In the integrity of their .institutions, the lowering of respect for the standards of honor which prevail In- high places, are crimes for which punishment can never atone.V he said. Concluding, he praised Mr. Hard ing as va man of a delicate sence of honor, of sympathetic heart, of trans cendent gentleness of soul who reached out for friendship, who gave It loyally and generously In his very thought and deed." . Mr. cooiiuge Accepts .Monument Former President Calvin Coolldge, accepting the Harding monument on behalf of the Harding Memorial as sociation, characterized the late presi dent as "one pre-eminently fitted to serve the country in the disturbed and distraught period following the war." After reviewing president nara - lng's accom pi lsh men ts and paying tribute to "that charming cordiality that could not be described, but was always felt by all who came in con tact with him," Mr. Coolldge intro duced President Hoover and Oovernor White.' It has often been remarked that when a particular crisis In human affairs has required a certain type of ability to meet it the right man ap nea." said Mr. Coolldge. "President Harding had experience and ability, courage and patience, combined with a generous toleration and cheerful optimism that Inspired confidence. He understood the people, and the people understood him. In compos ing a situation, in pacifying men, he was a master." Tt would be difficult," Mr. Coo lldge concluded, "to find any peace time period of a little over two years when so much that was beneficial Was accomplished as during his ad ministration."

WASHINGTON W Subways, soda fountains and modernistic hotels as well as rice fields, paper houses, and kimonos await the Lindberghs on their aerial sight-seeing tour to the land of cherry blossoms. Once safely across the ocean, by whatever route' they choose, Colonel Lindbergh and his wife probably will enter "by the backdoor" a Japan where exists today the civilizations of the ancient Orient, the modem Occi dent and the bleak northl&nd. South of the Kurin islands, last of the stepping stones across the North, Pacific, lies Hokkaido, or Yezzo, Jap an's frontier island. Living there, besides Japanese fish ermen, is the strange race of hairy Alnua, aborigines of the region. The men do not shave or cut their hair and the women, out of deference to the men, have mustaches tattooed on their upper lips. The bear-is the Alnua' most Im portant god, and bear meat Is their favorite food. A short flight from Hokkaido, as the Lindberghs fly, is Tokyo, rebuilt, since the earthquake of, 1923 and now most western, in architecture and mode of living, of the far eastern cities. In the Japanese capital, probably one of their principal stops, they will find many familiar sights and sounds against a background of the feudal city of the Shoguns. Tney can spin in a powerful mo tor car out new broad boulevards stretching from the steel Diet build ing, new nome or Japan's legislature.

If she wants some "atmosphere," Mrs. Lindbergh can go to a native Inn where, shoe-less, she may eat rice from exquisite porcelain. She may like to buy a Japanese doll or some more masculine toy for Charles Augustus Jr. Lindbergh him self may go to a baseball game where the fans are legion and as vociferous as the American "bleacher! te," or he may be the honor guest at a big league wrestling match. If he calls on a Japanese business man in working hours he will likely find his friend in a steel office build ing, wearing a correct business suit and dlotatlng a snappy letter or sales talk. At 4:30 or 6, the business man will take the subway to his suburban home where after a hot bath he will put on. a kimono and sandals and eat dinner, sitting cross-legged on the floor. rV A T T?TTOCT A"M v 1 A Jj JCVUOOIAIX CHORUS CHARMS LOCAL AUDD3NCE (Continued from Page One) a marvelous treat to La Grande, un accustomed as It Is to hearing in person the leaders of the musical wona.

Sugar is low In price, and there are always bar gain days for each fruit and berry. A little concentrated effort as each fruit crop reaches its peak will re sult in a cupboard well stocked with canned fruits, jellies, jams and relishes from which one may draw freely throughout the winter. Since fruit belongs In the diet and should appear in some form at every meal, the economy of a home supply is readily apparent. Cane sugar is ideal for all kinds of can ning.

The next site of irritation would be the tissues adjacent to the vocal chords comprise ing the larynx, therefore the . general focal point of the irri tation would be in the voice box represented externally by the Adam's Apple."

Savings Increasing "The underlying forces of recov ery" which ho. said were asserting themselves he listed as follows: Steadily increasing savings which will not "remain ldlo long"; higher con sumption In many lines pf retail goods; good harvest prospects; re covery from the drouth; and the dying out of revolutionary move ments In other countries. Pointing to ';fredom from strikes, lockouts and disorders unequal ed even in prosperous times," he lauded the leaders of Industry and labor for their effort to maintain wages and industrial peace'. With vigor he lashed out at "that minority of people who would make political ' capital out of the depres sion through magnifying our unem ployment and losses," and also turned on those "other small groups In the business world who would make their contribution to distress by raids on our markets with pur pose to profit from depreciation of securities and commodities." I Tariff Act of BeneM I Conceding - that there were some "Inequities and Inequalities" in the Smoot-Hawley tariff act, Mr. Hoover nevertheless said that It had B'ived "our farmers and workmen from be ing overwhelmed with goods from foreign countries where, even since our tariff was revised, wages and prices have been reduced to much lower levels than before." Nearing the conclusion of his ad dress, which repeutcrdly was Inter rupted by applause, 1 Mr. Hoover called on the people of the nation to have "full faith In those mjghty resources which have impelled this nation to success." -Without naming a day on which the depression would end, he declared that "if, as many . believe, we hat passed the worst of this storm, future months will not be so difficult. If we shall be called upon to tndure more this period, we must gird our selves to steadfast effort, to fall at no point where humanity calls off American Ideals are in Jeopardy."
