She Uved In Boston.; Her mother ca ressed her, and told her when she grew op she would be a nice girl. Under tender guidance she became old enousrh to aro to school. She was bright, easy to manage, and un usually pretty. The years wore on Frances Lebern of Staten Island was three years older. Like . Doro thea Wardell, she was pretty. She married and ' divorced. And she learned to use drugs about the time Dorothea Wardell fell into bad com pany and became a prey to the same habit.' - The girls wanted their narcotics. They had no money to purchase them. They, of course, sought ad dicta. Addicts became their associ ates. One day they met men who could furnish the drugs, but to get them lataa to Eatra oiii farnuaad pp I they were compelled to carry contra J Maka rrrattuaeaa to Moaaj Ordaf, K;v . ,, . . vi OroVr ar I'r(l.

Last week the porter of a train running between Canada and New York noticed that two of his femi nine passengers had been asleep most of the trip. Both were pretty and well dressed. Both were ying. When the train n eared its destina tion he attempted to arouse them, but they didn't wake. One was vio lently illon the point of death. That was Frances Lebern; the other was dead. That rras Dorothea War dell. They had . taken an overdose of heroin. For the unfortunate girls it was the last of a series of tragedies. Timely, indeed. Is the state wide war begun in Oregon against nar- stx months loan and then ; charged an 'additional .2 per cent eommia sioa for renewing the loan. ' V - Instances of 10 and 12 per cent charged farmers and stockmen are declared by Secretary. Fan, after a two months visit through the .West and Southwest, to be numerous. It is a case of bankers and other agen cies taking advantage of the help lessness of the . involved farmers , to exact usurious Interest rates. The tragedy in the process is two fold: i 1. Extortion practiced : upon the borrowers who are down and nearly out. - 2. The principle, of the thing. wherein public funds issued in emer gency to aid deflated stockmen and farmers, and committed to thostefwl ing agencies as a public trust, are used as a private snap to rob those whom the funds were set aside to assist. ' ' . ' Every, institution that ! has prac ticed the extortion should be required to disgorge. All should be made to restore to the borrowers' all interest charges over and above the amount allowed by the War Finance corpo ration. And every such institution should be denied the privilege of making further loans of War Finance corporation funds. What a com mentary on our moral code when so many men in high places are will ing to grab from men who' are down MR.

We were talking a few days ago about literary celebrities, when he said: After coming to Portland I had the good fortune to meet Sam Simpson, whOy nae myseii. was a printer and writer. His poem, enUtled The Beautiful Wil lamette,' has given him a place among tne immortals. Another writer I met that I took a great liking to was John Barton Adams, once author of the "Postscripts in the Denver Post. One of the most pleasant recollections of my boyhood Is of a visit I had with James Whitcomb Riley. At Knox. Ind.. where I waa born, a normal school had been located. Each winter a few con' certs or lectures were given. Jamea Whitcomb Riley once came as a star attraction. My father Invited Riley to our house to supper. I can remember yet how I sat with eyes, ears and mouth open to absorb every impression I could of this noted poet. Aa we were altting on the porch after supper two of my boy churns came along and one of them held up two fingers in the shape of a V, the immemorial .invitation of boy to go swimming. Jamea Whitcomb Riley noticed the signal and also noticed that I shook my head to the boya He said, "Don't you want to go swimming T I said, Tes, but I don't want to miss what you are saying ' He laughed and said, 'All right; I will go with you. He walked down the dusty lan that led to the pond in the yellow river where our old swimming hole was located. Just above the deepest hole In the creek a large log had become Imbedded in the bank. This waa our diving board. On the bank nearby wa a clump of blackhaw trees under .whose foliage we were accustomed to tak refuge from- th frequent and sudden summer showers. . e e e "Jamea Whitcomb Riley ailed up the swimming hole and its surroundings and said.' Too boys are lucky to have such a perfect swimming bole.
