NO WORK I Tke lumber and pu'.p Industries of tha Pacific northwest are facing a nearly impossible situation - unless through immediate action congress comes to their rescue. Tariff walls have been raised around most of tho lumber markets of the world outside ,of the United States. Against this situation we find very slight tariff protection here against such lumber producing countries as Russia and Sweden. The natural result is that the United States is becoming tha dumping ground tor cheap lumber, 'lumber said to bo produced largely by .convict labor in Russia. ! The tragedy of the situation lies in ;the fact that while this same cheap lumber is being shipped Into, the ; United States only 35.000 men are finding employment In the lumber In dustry in the northwest while two years ago 150.000 heads of families were thus gainfully employed.

What the Latin-Americans like or admire of all this they have adapted to themselves in their own land. There is a tradition that native foods never taste well away from home. Watermelons must he eaten in the South, beans in lloston, lobsters in Gloucester, oysters in Baltimore, and pretzels in Pennsylvania. So it is a question if a hot dog would be so savory away from Coney Island, where the tang of the sea air gives the proper appetite. Nevertheless, tho latest importation to be enthusiastically received south of the Rio Grande is the hot dog. In Rio de Janeiro frankfurters are becoming extraordinar ily popular. They are advertised under tho Portuguese equiv alent ror hot dog and in English also. Like the North American variety, the Rio brand flourishes in the neighbor hood of amusement places. One shop in the theatrical dis trict of the Brazilian city does a land office business, par ticularly around midnight. This stand sports a sign with a fox terrier and a yellow dogo give a graphic translation of the American name. Here is another contribution to the rapidly growing ac cumulation of proof that America is "civilizing" the world. OUT OUR WAY By J. R.

Before its birth, the child Is a para site, living on, as well as within the body of the mother.
