PLOT TALK ADMITTED
Inspector Who Hears Wseuseionj I

Restricted by Court.
"We stopped the circulation of that
literature in 1917 when it became un
lawful In some states. Does an or
ganization set no credit for comply
ing with the law? I defy the prose
cution to show that any of those pub
lications have been distributed since
191 1!" George K. Vanderveer, attor
ney for Joe Laundy. I. W. W. organ
izer, flung this defi at District At
torney Evans in the course of ' the
criminal syndicalism trial in the cir
cuit court yesterday.
Five minutes later, A. E. Allen, for.
mer member, organizer and propa
gandist of the Industrial Workers of
the World, was telling on the witness
stand of the widespread distribution
during 1319 of The literature the pros
ecution sought to place in evidence.
Similar copies had been furnished him
during the past year by T. H. Speak
man, chairman of the central propa
ganda committee of the I. W. W. at
Seattle, he testified, and distributed
by the score.
Literature Ordered Scattered
While working from propaganda
headquarters. Alien said he had in
structions to sell what literature was
possible and to give away the rest
rather than leave it undistributed
Inflammatory pamphlets of many
kinds, some song books of the reds,
and radical treatises on sabotage and
industrial revolt were among those
identified by Allen as similar to those
which he. personally, had helped cirr
culate in the vicinity of Seattle. Pub
lications whi'h Vanderveer did not
claim the I. W. W. had ceased cir
culaiing after 1917 were those found
in the local I. W. W. hall and Identi
fied by offirers present at the raid
November 11, 1H19.
Allen, who was still on the stand at
adjournment yesterday, said that he
joined the I. W. W. in April, 1919, in
Seattle, that he remained an active
member until the latter part of No
embor. 1919. following the armistice
day slaving at Ccntralia by I. W. W.
He gave the names of numerous Se
attle I. W. W. with whom he had
dealings in the course of propaganda
work.
Inspector Hears of Plot.
E. T. Gooch. United States immi
gration inspector of Astoria, who
overheard between 30 and 40 meet
ings of I. W. W. in the Columbia
river port from the other, side of a
' light partition at one end of their
hall, was called by the state to prove
the teachings of the organization in
1917 with regard to draft evasion and
strikes in the spruce forests.
.aiier legal argument lasting an
hour, Vanderveer partially won hi
point In an objection to testimony
covering events as far back as 1917.
While Judge H. H. Belt of Dallas,
who is sitting in Portland, ruled that
the state had a right to show the
history of the I. W. W. and its past
teachings, he also held that the ex
pressions of various members of the
Branch at Astoria on different ques
tions would not be admissable as
evidence, unless voted on and made
the expression of the assemblage.
Inspector Gooch, who is an Ameri
can Legion man, said that he never
heard an actual vote taken on the
subjects about which he was ques
tioned and Judge Belt ruled that he
could not go into details of the dis
cussions. At the conclusion of several of his
arguments, Vanderveer ended with
his face toward the spectators,
obviously awaiting the murmur of
applause from adherents of the 1. W.
W.. who never failed him.

Patsy de Forrsst, chic, petite and a
former Winter Garden star, appearing
as the flip chorus maid in "Maytime,"
occupies the unique distinction of hav
ing played more kissing roles than any coryphee of the New York stage.
In a succession of productions she has been cast for roles where she is
adored and desired by most of the men in the play. Her press agent has
estimated that up to the present she has received 300 kisses weekly for
the last three seasons.
Miss de Forrest is also one of the original "White Bears," a band of
daring souls from the Winter Garden and Ziegfeld shows who take dips
occasionally for publicity's and their complexions' sake In the Atlantic
ocean off Manhattan beach.
Another interesting personality In "Maytime" Is Carolyn Thomson,
who plays and sings the leading role of Ottilie. She plays the role first
of a very young woman, then an older one' and In the last act she is an
old, old lady. Miss Thomson loves the period costumes of the play, the
old-fashioned clothes of the early '40s.

Now Comes Springtime With Its Severe
Tax Upon the Human System
That general rundown con
dition, known as "Spring
Fever" is now abroad
in the land.
Few people are fortunate enough
to escape the debilitating, dragging
down condition that always comes
with the changing seasons, anS espe
cially when nature is undergoing the
transition from winter into spring
time.
Lane Gets $8000 a Day.
EUGENE, Or., March 24. (Special.)
Lane county taxes are coming in at
the office of Sheriff Fred G. Stickels
at the rate of between $8000 and 10.
000 a day. according to Earl Luckey,
head of the tax department.
Just uw there la a univer
sal readjustment of every ele
ment la natnre. Plan? ' and
animal lite alike merge Into
the re-awakenlns; that comes
with the budding of springtime.
Naturally, such a decided change
means a severe tax upon the ele
ments involved. In plant life, it
means that all the energy- stored
away for winter sustenance has been
consumed, and the plant or tree must
gather new forces to feed and de
velop It and give it strength and
nourishment to enter upon the long
dry heated term. . ;, r .
Similarly, the human body has Just
passed through the- severest season
of the entire year, and has been sub
ject to the hardships of the winter
season with all of Its various attacks
of sickness and disease. And even
though you may have escaped the
prevailing dangers and come through,
the winter without having succumbed
to illness, still your system has been
severely taxed, and all the stored up
energy has been consumed in ward
ing off disease.
'..The human system In bow
endeavoring to throw off the
' accumulated Imparities, N and
your run-down condition Is a .
mute appeal to nature for
help In preparing for the
changing season.
As springtime approaches, you be
gin to notice a loss of energy, you
become easily tired out, and fatigued,
your appetite falls, and that worn-
out, good-for-nothing, run-down feel
ing seems to have complete pos
session of your body. - Tour poor,
tired-out body has fallen a victim to
what is commonly called ''spring
fever," and a feeling of complete lassi
tude pervades the entire system.
Just as plant life throws off the
accumulations of the winter season,
so does the human system find it
necessary to get rid of the impurities
tnat have crept In, and made the blood
supply sluggish and interfered with
the vigor and strength and energy
that is so badly needed to enter upon
tne new season.
The most important part of the hu-J
man system is -the blood supply. It
is- absolutely necessary that the ever
flowing stream of life-giving fluid be
kept pure and rich and that no im
purities be permitted to creep in to
make it sluggish and impair your
general health. '
You should take the first Indication
of "spring fever" as an unfailing
warning that your blood needs a thor
ough cleansing and toning up. Im
purities that have been accumulating
throughout the winter season should
be eliminated, and the system put in
the . best possible condition to with
stand the dangers of summer sick
ness.
Of course, you do not feel like plac
ing yourself under a doctor s care,
and there is really , no necessity for
doing so. Tour system simply needs
good toning up. and -for this pur
pose there is nothing equal to S. S. S.
the fine old blood purifier and tonic
that has been in successful use for
more than half a century.
S. S. ' S. is nature s own remedy,
being made from roots and herbs of
recognized medicinal value, gathered
direct from the forests. It acts di
rectly - upon the blood, promptly
cleansing it of all Impurities, Im
proving the appetite, and giving new
strength and vigor to the entire sys
tem. . .

Hare's Motors
and the
Men Who Manage It
IN every industry and in every prominent business organ
ization there are men of broad vision and keen human
sympathy the two prime requisites of sound business
progress. . .
Usually such men are scattered -not grouped.
Where they are found together the momentum ol their
enterprise sweeps everything before it.
The automotive industry has its full share of such men, but,
as in all other lines, to find them in combination is rare.
Most organizations just happen, in a sense. Men arc found
as needs develop and tried out in the positions'to which they
seem to be Buited yet the annual turnover of business
executives is eloquent proof that square plugs in round holes
are rather the rule than the exception.
The Hare's Motors organization did not grow that way. The
men who compose it had tested each other's minds and
hearts beforehand. They came together because they were
congenial because each recognized in the other that breadth
; of outlook and that interest in other men which to every one
of the groijp were the elements underlying his judgment of
his fellows.
Hare's Motors executives arc not only men of wide experience
in their respective fields of responsibility, associated always
with sound enterprises they are men who think alike in
fundamentals.
This is not a case of one strong man offset by a weak one,
of one broad man offset by a narrow one, of one big hearted
man offset by a fellow whose soul wouldn't cover a pin point.
It is one of strong men strengthened by each other, of broad
men broadened by each other, and of big hearted men made
bigger hearted by mutual intercourse.
Naturally the momentum is tremendous. The human mate
rial has all been proven in advance. There is no costly waste
in the discovering of misfits, and the Companies operated by
Hare's Motors move forward with that assurance as to their
management which guarantees the wisdom of their policies
and the soundness of their products.
