CLUB HEARS
COMMUNITY
SERVICE MEN
A house packed to capacity greeted
the Community Service program at
the Oregon City Woman's club on
Thursday afternoon. The principal
speakers were Ray Carter, of Seattle,
representative of Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and Utah in community service,
and Mr. Walter Jenkins, the famous
community song leader. Mr. Car
ter's talk was a masterpiece of wit,
wisdom and enlightenment on recre
ation for the whole people, children,
boys, girls and men and women. By
unanimous vote the audience assembl
ed agreed to do all in their power
to assist and encourage the vork soon
to be undertaken in Oregon City. It
is quite likely that Miss Cockburn will
return soon for another address.
Several committees were appointed
to consider rehabilitation of the ten
nis court, places for playgrounds, seats
in the parks and to cooperate with
the committees recently apopinted oy
the Commercial club. Fifteen dollars
($15.00) was voted out of the treasury
for aid to famine-stricken China, thus
making the Oregon City Woman's club
the first contributor in the aproach
ing Clackamas county drive
32000 REWARD
IS POSTED FOR
YODER SLAYER
SALEM, Or., March 11. Governor
Olcott today issued a proclamation rec
ommending to the next legislature the
payment of $1000 by special appropri
ation to the person or persons instru
mental in bringing about the arrest
and conviction of the murderer or
murderers of Simon J. Yoder, Wood
burn garage operator.
"This proclamation and the reward
mentioned herein in no manner ap
plies to the arrest or. possible convic
tion of any person or persons who
may be under arrest or in custody at
the time of issuance of this proclama.
tion, or prior thereto," said the proc
lamation issued by the executive. TLe
proclamation will be in force and
effect up to and including June 3,
1921.
Although Sheriff Bower and his
deputies have been working night and
day in the hope that 'the slayer of
Yoder might be apprehended, they
admitted Thursday that they had no
clew upon which to continue their
search. It has been almost definitely
determined that Harry Staben, now
held in the county jail in connection
with the crime, was in Portland last
Saturday night and was not in Wood
burn, as indicated in reports sent to
the sheriff. Unless there are new de
velopments within the next couple of
days to connect Staben with the mur
der he will probably be released from
custody.
Yoder was employed by a man late
Saturday night under the pretence
that the latter had a defective auto
mobile and desired to be driven to
Salem. The following morning Yo
er's body was found in a ditch beside
the Pacific highway near Gervais,
wtih a bullet in the head. In addition
to the $1000 reward offered by the
governor, citizens of Woodburn have
subscribed a like amount for the ap
prehension of the murderer.
EARLY MORNING
FIRE DESTROYS
HOME FRIDAY
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Hulm,
in Falls View Addition, was burned
to the ground Friday morning about
6:30 and the household effects, out
side of a few baby clothes saved, were
destroyed by the flames. The fire
department arrived too late to be of
much assistance, as the flames had
gained great headway before the de
partment could reach the scene.
The fire started from a kerosene
lamp which Mr. Hulm was parrying
He caught his foot over some obstac
le, and before he could regain ms
balance, the lamp was thrown against
a stove, the glass breaking and scat
tering the keresone in every direc
tion. The oil soon caught from the
wick of the lamp, and a mass of
flames quickly filled the room. Mr.
and Mrs. Hulm turned their attention
to saving their two small children in
the house at the time, and the firo
alarm was turned in by a neighbor
whose home was close by.
Mr. Hulm recently purchased the
house, which contained five rooms.
Mr and Mrs. Hulm are making their
temporary home with the former's sis
ter, Mrs. Wyggel, until a new resi
dence can be erected.
HEAVY TRUCK
TURNS OVER
ON HIGHWAY
A truck operated by the Willamette
Valley Transfer company and loaded
with crated eggs, turned over on the
highway about three miles from Ore
gon City on the New Era road yester
day afternoon, and the cargo was
smashed. The driver was R. Gibson,
and when the machine was first dis
covered, It was on the left side of the
road on its side. The wrecked crates
were gathered up and the truck right
ed, and outside of the ruined eggs,
the machine was little damaged. The
cause of the accident was not learned.
Failure to Punish Crime
Criminals do not commit ' offenses freely unless
they feel fairly sure they can escape punishment. The
present wave of crime indicates that the police arid ju
dicial forces of the country are not securing the arrest
and conviction of criminals as they should.
William H. Taf t, in a recent review of a book by
Raymond Fosdick on the administration of criminal
law, finds that the machinery for punishing crime is
working very badly. The Chicago Tribune has pub
lished statistics showing that there were 7667 culpable
homicides in this' country in1918, and only 85 execu
tions as punishment for this crime. In all England and
Wales in 1916 there were only 85 murders.
It is the opinion of many authorities that a great
many people in this country have a tendency .toward vio
lence, leading them to commit brutal crimes, a tendency
which must be met. by strong repression. In many ci
ties there is too much politics in conducting police af
fairs, which impairs the efficiency of the force, and
makes some officers open to corrupt influence.
The law's delays are an important reason for fali
ure to secure convictions. If trials are postponed by
faulty procedure, witnesses leave the locality where a
certain crime was committed, the memory of events
becomes indefinite, and it is much harder to secure con
victions. Many criminals have escaped by raising tech
nical points.
Crime will continue prevalent until the people
wake up to the need for prompt and impartial enforce
ment of the laws. Police forces must be appointed on
a basis of efficiency and not on that of politics. In -many
cities the police are not given money enough to se
cure a competent force of detectives. In the appoint
ment or election of judges, men should be selected, who
shall look at the spirit rather than the letter of the law.
Ake Was His Name
of "HulaHula" Fame
But He Was Detained
H. W. Ake, Philippino, who came
here to take part in a "hula-hula" t
a local theater Sunday, done most of
his "hula-hulaing in the city jail, and
in the course, of his "gymnastics"
around the city bastile, broke up most
of the furniture and other articles for
the comfort of prisoners.
Ake, it is claimed, got roarin' drunk
and started out to see what he could
do in the way of stirring up trouble.
The first man he ran up against, how
ever, was Chief of Police Hadley, who
promptly put Mil Ake in the city jail.
Ake, being somewhat of a tempera
mental disposition, started in to do
the ''shimmy" and several other acts
in his cell, letting out weird noises
and hangings, which caused the peace
loving citizens to gather around in
the immediate vicinity.
Monday mornng, Ake was brought
before Judge Kelly, who promptly
said "$50 and costs." Ake couldn't
raise the money, and still in jail, . al
though he is desperately trying to lo
cate some of his "hula" friends in
Portland to pay his fine. Such is
the life of a "hula-huler."

Constable Lowe of Milwaukie, ar
rested Chas. Ralphy at Bell Station on
Wednesday for having intoxicating li

FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
Editor Enterprise:
A mass meeting of the Central
Point Telephone company met at
Central Point and talked over the
rise in telephone rates and voted to
refuse to pay the raise. A commit
tee of three was apoointed to be at
! the mass meeting to be held in Ore
gon City. It is simply absurd to
think of raising rates at this time,
when everything is coming down. In
3905, when we built our line to the
city limits of Oregon City, we paid
$2 for switch fees. Later they rais
ed to $3; thence to $5.40, and now
they have the "crust" to ask $9. The
Pacific Co., is putting up a hard luck
story that it has to pay the girls
a large salary and all that "stuff.'
We all have troubles of our own we
have taxes to pay, but we are not ask
ing someone elst to pay them for us;
all farm produce is Belling below cost
and the farmers are losing heavily
The time has come when something
should begin to come down instead of
soaring skyward.

L
Aesthetics
By Howard Hilles.
Ua farmers in the country cannot, live on pretty views,
Yet I'm thankful for the beauty in the common things we use;
I rejoice in the greenness of the grass and trees in spring,
And am tickled as the children when the birds begin to sing.
I often think the fruit trees, with their load of snowy bloom,
If that were all they ever bore, would be no waste of room.
And that the waving, golden fields of yellow ripened grain.
If only good to look at would not quite have grown in vain.
I am thankful for the colors .of the forests in the fall,
With the haze of Indian Summer sort of dreaming over all.
And I like to see the blanket of white and gelaming snow
That old Winter spreads down sottly when all other beauties go.
And if God put grace and beauty in such things as harmful weeds,
I'm glad he left a little for the things that fill our needs,
And that while he put the ranibow in the shower's shinning drops,
He can also put the color in us farmers' growing crops.
Let the rich man in the city the high toned paintings buy
Not "one of them can equal the sunset in the sky
That the Master Artist colors, foiall who care to see,
The great Almighty's works of art are good enough for me.
So I see no use in pining for the beauties man has made.
Since Nature's works are free to all and lay them in the shade;
Though we can't exist entirely on scenery and views, 1
Let's be thankful for the beauty in the common thing3 we use!
OPEN DOORS IN
BUSINESS
THE INTERIOR DECORATOR
i To the girl with a love of beauty,
there is no more delightful work than
interior decorating. It requires, not
only exquisite taste, original ideas.
and training in art, but a wide famil
iarity with business as well.
When learning, one usually works
awhile without wages later getting
$10 to $30 a week when worth it.
The limits of this busienss may be
pushed to almost any figure; a few
women are now making $50,000 a year
at it.
The first step is to master the field
of art knowledge, perhaps in a one
or two year course at school. One
must know the best which the ages
have produced in art, porcelains, tap
estries, color combinations, the signi
ficence of line, painting, sculpture. I
This education never ends. The In
terior Decorator must learn every
new style, combination; adaptation.
and taste, and besides this be inven
tive about the application of this
knowledge. This part of the work will
prove a continual joy to the girl iit-
ted for it.
The business end is as important as
the artistic end. Sbe must deal with
masons, painters, cabinet makers,
carpenters, upholdsters, and with pa
trons whose tastes she must strive
continually to refine without being
offensive or discourteous.
Even to please a patron of poor
taste, she must never plan an ugly
room. It will require experience and
tact to suggest imrovements to him
in such a way that he will think her
ideas his own.
Learning to buy is an important
part of the training: w,hat is on the
market, what it should cost, and
when is the best place to get it.
The money side of the business
must be well managed. Accounts
must be collected promptly, workmen
must be held to finish contracted
work on scheduled time, and they
must be paid when the job is done.
It is well for the girl who is to be
an Interior Decorator to work for an
other for a few years to get the
training. A small firm will give her
better experience than a large one,
where she would work only in one
branch. During these years she will
meet all sorts of people and will
learn tact in dealing with them, how
to judge of their tastes, as well as
how to make the workmen compre
hend the ideas she is trying -to have
them execute.
A large social acquaintance with
people of means is a valuable asset
to the Interior Decorator for it will
help her to draw business. A few
rooms well decorated will spread her
fame and bring opportunities to
do more.

THE VEGETABLE SALAD.
Everything which goes into a salad
should be equisitely clean and
deliciously cool. Perefct your color
scheme with the same care the artist
gives to be the combination o this pig
ments, but do not mix them as he
does. Each constituent should remain
a clear-cut integer, but all asembling
sociably. Highly colored contents
call to the appetite and 'make the
mouth water" which is the. supreme
test of virtue in the spring salad.
Water-cress, thin wisps or red and
green mango, the soft toned slice t
cucumber, the bold wee radish, always
the vet unapproached but invalu
able carrot all these and many others
are appropriate. ' Surprise, daring, u
niqueness help to make the spring salad
pleasing. As winter wanes we are
tired of prosaic monotony, and novelty
delights.
Order and arrangement are fifty
ncr rent of the attractive salad. The
natural salad maker does not pile the
ingredients hit and miss but with
studied care produces a feast to the
eye as well as to the palate.
For the spring salad, heavy cooked
dresings are taboo. We prefer the
Mayonnaise which is . more delicate
and does not hide nor muss up the
salad. To make this, mix dry a tea
spoon each of mustard, salt and sugar
and a dash of cayenne; add two egg
yolks; then add a little vinegar or
lemon juice and olive oil alternately
On The Farm
until you have used four tablespoons
of acid and a cup and a half of oil.
Sometimes the dressing will curdle if
the oil is added too rapidly, in which
case you should beat up another egg
yolk and very slowly mix the curdled
dressing into it. This will smooth it
out.
THE WOMAN FOUNDA-
$ TION FOR HEALTH. S
,$,,$gS$.$,3S.$.5slSS.$.$.$;
Are you a member of The Woman's
Foundation For Health?
Perhaps you are and do not 'know
it. This larger and worth-while or
ganization is not composed of mem
bers as individuals, but of fifteen in
fluential national organizations such
as the Federation of Women's Clubs,
the Woman's Chistia- Temperance
Union, The Federation of Business
and Professional Women's Clubs, The
League of Women Voters, the Y. W.
C. A., the Congress of Mothers, and
several colege and alumni organiza
tions of women. There is hardly a
four-corners in America into which it
does not reach and it includes the
best woman brain of the country in its
membership. You will be interested
in what it ia doing.
Although it is now two years old,
it is just finding itself and will pres
ently be laying its helpful hands upon
you however remotely you may dwell.
As its name implies, its" aim is to
teach women health "the joyous and
arousing whole of what health is."
With so important a place In the
world today, women can less than ever
afford to be in poor health. The Wo
man's Foundation for Health does not
deal so much with public as with indi
vidual health. It emphasizes that
health is a matter of individual care
and the responsibility for poor health
is not to be put ugon the doctor or
society, though these may advise and
give her proper envoirnment, but it is
only her own effort which may give a
woman health.
The Foundation will function in
three ways: though authentic health
pamphlets spread broadcast by the
component organizations; though the
"Mobile Unit..: a person or persons
trained to visit communities and or
ganize efficiently all their healvn
agencies; and, though the Health
Foundation Center established in var
ious communities to give individuals
inventory of their health and direction
in excercises, play and social develop
ment. Every woman will' have oppor
tunity to help arid to be helped.
THE WOMAN CITIZEN
.
Do women busy in the home owe a
duty to the state? How much of a
Housewife's time and attention should
be turned from her home duties and
given to public work? To what ex
tent is community service the obliga
tion of every individual? These are
perplexing new problems. Women
oftea feel that we are the "busy
sex." With washing, ironing, baking,
sewing, canning, cleaning, watching
the family's health, expenditures, ed
ucation, morals and recreations, CAN
we add another duty?
Perhaps, however, by means of the
ballot, we can more easily and affect
ively accomplish the aforesaid duties
and make our work less instead of
more. Combining with others, all
these purposea can' be served for the
community.
A woman who is feeble or overbut-
dened manifestly should be excused
from public duty; but those who pos
sess health, time, leadership, and edu
cation can further the interests of
their own home3 and of all homes by
giving generously of these gifts to
public service. r
Food inspection; ending speculation.
in foods; punishing profiteering; cen
soring movies; regulating hours ana
conditions of labor; assuring fail
transportation, accessibility, and mod
erate price of coal gas and other ne
cessities ; improvement of schools ; the
protection of infancy and maternity;
the availability of public health nun.
ing, these and infinite other public
works are as much immediate con
cerns of the home as what to have for
dinner, how to make Jennie's dress,
or what kind of a rug to buy for the
parlor. .We may not always realize
how closely public problems touch, us.
but at any time one may swoop down
upon us or or children. To excluo
them and to devote all our time to
what is within our "four square walls"
is "to save at the spigot and let run
at the bung." While we save a dollar
by making sft soap we let the coal
profiteer rob us of five. While we
spend our time washing Johnnie's
shirt, we let the canning company get
dirty food inside the boy who wears
the shirt, and was our time and ener
gy wisely spent?
SALUBRIOUS SALADS.
The slighest and most refreshing
salads you can devise are in demand
at this season of the year. Innumer
able possibilities await your creation.
Do not hunt for recipes, cut and
dried, but give free rein to your own
imagination; concoct such delicapies
as "never before entered into the
mind o fman," or mouth either for
that matter. Go about it something
like this:
As the foundation of all salad's
there is nothing nicer than the hearts
of head lettuce, or crosswise slices
cut thin and dainty through the head.
Handling carefully lay one cross-wise
slice on each plate. About or over
this put whatever fancy or the con
tents of your cupboard dictates.
$SJ$SSSSS.SSS-4.
THE WHY OF THE HOME. s-
The home is because of the chil-
ren. Grown-ups might wander around
and defend themselves but there
must be some fixed habitation for the
baby.
The first essential of the home is
the bringing up of the children, not
the keeping of the house. Sometimes
it may be wise to sacrafice the latter
to the former perhaps it is better
for the boy to live where there are
"chores," or the daughter to develop
responsibility by having her part in
the housework. Children need many
things, tools, which are not ornamen
tal in the house., but which play a pan,
in their development. Modern con
veniences, waxen order, immaculate
and delicate finery may do in the
home for adults, but are not always
conductive to the-best welfare of the
growing boy or girl.
What are homes for?

SINGLE STANDARD MORALITY.
I should like to see the State of
Nebraska raise the banner of the
next great moral reform by writin
into the new constitution the single
standard of morality. I urge the en
dorsement of the single standard no
segregation of sin, no licensing of
vice, the penalties of imorality en
forced impartially against the two
sexes. That is, in my judgment tc
be the next great moral reform, and
I hope to see Nebraska lead the fight,
The women are here: their conscien
ces are with us; their influence will
help us. How dare we longer di
criminate again a woman and give
to the immoral man a respectabili
ty that we deny her. I beg you to
consider whether this is not the time
to endorse the single standard oi
morality. Man and woman will stand
side by side before the judgment bar
of God; if they must stand on an
equality there we should not give one
of them an advantage over the other
in the tribunal which we create. .
"On no other subject has man so
cruelly misused woman; at no other
time does he show such contempt for
her higher qualities. Here, surely, is
a cause in which every woman wil
be proud to enlist; and she may hope
to call to her side all men most of
them coerced into active cooperation
by conscience, the remainder shamed
out of opposition to her plea for jus
tice." Wm. J. Bryan.
