The status of commercial and exploratory aviation is anala- gous to that of automobiling twenty- five years ago. Efficient engines are built, and airplaning is safe in known territory,;- but reliabilty nec essary for venturing into unknown regions has not yet been attained.

In more extensive detail his narra tions of the habits of the bald eagle tallied with and elaborated upon those of the recognized authorities. It was his boast that no living man knew more of the ways and home lives of the bald eagle and the golden eagle than did he. And he welcomed controversy upon his knowledge, maintaining that the golden eagle possessed all the characteristics wrongly attributed to the bald eagle, and should supplant it as the emblem of the nation.

Mr. Stauffer has offered to help out the Index editors during the printer shortage, and it looks as though he might be a mem ber of the staff a long time. While it is sometimes inconvenient, as the editors confess, to have a minister around the office when the linotype balks, it is hoped the linotype will soon take cognizance of the reverend gentleman's presence and net balk too often.

Changes in method of elect ing delegates have not removed the need of such men, and the events of the next few days will be a testing process by which such men will be discovered and put in the front rank. Democratic government can not be run without parties, or parties with out leaders, but those of the future will be of a new type. Those of the past were too disposed to dictate and intrigue in the interest of particular candidates and interests; those of the future must read the minds of the several elements of the party and must bring them into agreement on men and measures.

The keynote of many of th recent religious movements has been ' ten dency to rely on the laymen of the church more than ever and to culti vate the interest of church members by putting them to work, rather than by continuing them as a mere gov erning body which regarded its work as largely done when it had chosen a pastor and provided more or less perfunctorily for his support.

A few days ago a correspond ent of The Oregonian. signing "Old Salem Resident," made a" showin that was intended to cast reflections upon a certain class of Marion coun ty citizens and to bring unfavorable criticism upon fhem. He conveyed the idea that the Catholic German- Americans of Sublimity and Mount Angel were principally responsible and,, therefore, blamable for the un favorable vote of Marion county against the tax for higher education Dirt 1 think his conclusions on this point are unfair, as such conclusions, based upon religious prejudice, usual ly are. While it is true that Sublimity and the two Mount Angel precincts voted heavily against that tax. it is also trtre that oi other precincts in Marion county cast substantial majoritie against the measure, many of these precincts being as distinctly Protes tant and native as the three above named are Catholic and of German birth and extraction. Instance Aurora, Aumsville, Butteville. Chemawa, En glewood (suburb of Salem), Fair grounds (ditto). Central and North Howell, East and West Hubbard, Jef ferson. Liberty. Macleay, Marion, Monitor', Scotts Mills, Turner. Sidney etc. In fact, the correspondents fig urea are misleading and his dedu-c tions are unwarranted. On the other hand, in the one place wherein a comparison might be mad as a gauge of Americanism, the "Old Salem Resident" failed to take no tice; that is, the vote on the ele mentary school tax. and in this ca the Sublimity and Mount Angel pre cincts made a proud record (in com parison with some others especially In those three precincts the eiemen tary school tax was approved by majority of 81, while in 19 other pre cincts of the county there was . a majority against it. including the Salem suburb precincts. together with Macleay.

HOME ACCOMPLISHMENTS NEEDED How Employed Married Woman Can Live on Husband's Salary LOS A.VGELES. Cal., June 3. (To the Editor.) I would like to answer an article in The Oregonian written by a woman signing herself "A Mar ried Working Woman." I am a native of Portland and will say that women like that writer are mistaken when they say they can't pay for a home on a man's salary at the present cost of living. My husband makes $24 a week and we pay $7 of that on our home (30 a month). We have two "children, girls at that, 14 and 16 years old. going to school. We live in a nice locality, too. called Hollywood. The only trpuble with many women is that they try to make a millionaire appearand! on a $100 salary and don't know how to put it through. If one will spend some of her time trying to make eome of her own clothes and hats, which can be done easily by getting the patterns and spending a little time figuring them out. instead of paying $10 or $15 for a waist that she can make in two hours for $1.60. or paying $20 for a hat that she can make herself for $1, and also do a little washing once a week (about a two-hour job), instead of sending $3 or $4 worth of washing out to the laundry all that also would be quite an Item. It doesn t require a great deal of muscle, cither, because I do it myself. If women would stop trying to break into rich people's society and do their own work they could afford to give the soldiers back their jobs which they are entitled to. A whole lot of the boys who went away from good jobs and homes were no more used to farm work than some of us women, but the army made them fit with a little teaching, as also women could be made fit for housework.
