SALEM WILL BE IN THE LINE OF PROGRESS era tic matrimonial agency which had Minna (Dernberg's adopted daugh ter's name) for a client had arrang ed her marriage to a convict of a superior class whose laps from re spectability had not been of a very serious character. But the thing was done so rapidly, and there were so many Clients on the books, that In some mysterious way Minna married a totally different man from the one chosen for br. He was a criminal of the worst type. He accepted phil osophically the good fortune which had thrown Into his wsy the oppor tunity to enter at will and by invi tation the houses of the rich which' had previously been barred to him. There was plenty of money for him to spend; he had, through his amaz ing marriage to Minna, everything the heart could reasonably desire. But the criminal kink in his nature could not be stifled. He utilized the position in society his marriage had given him to execute a series of mys terious robberies from the very houses where he was entertained as a guest, ins pmnaer approximaieu tens of thousands of dollars In value before he was detected. Since then he has again been languishing in the familiar prison cell. , The Salem school board does well in going ahead with the plans to introduce and maintain vocational training. Ren Johnson, member of the Federal board for vocational train ing, and director of this work for the western district, was a Salem visitor on Friday. V He commended very highly the start being made in the Salem schools. He said it is a move in the rieht direction. v Mr. Johnson said the scheme is working well all over the United States. It has been taken iin in forty-two states. - The object of the work is to not only give boys in the schools practical trade instruction along lines of machinery and gas engine work, but there is contemplated a part time program, under which boys who have quit school may come back on part time and get the instruction that will make themmoce useful citizens and capable of carnincr higher waees. Then there will come the rehabilitation of soldiers, which will be of a:reat importance, if the war lasts long. ' Under the Smith-Hughes XctM Congress, this is a subsidized department of the school work. It will be under government su pervision and control. , It will be no temporary arrangement. The appropriation, is continuing and increasing for a term of years; and there is no doubt that it will be renewed, after the ex piration of the period now provided Tor. There is now available for the use of the Salem schools $1,700 of government money, for the coming school year, and this may grow to $2,400 for the coming year. It will surely increase largely for future years. ' .) The Salem school board has ordered the machinery with which to make the start: machinery that will be practical and always worth its cost, less wear andtear. It has been decided to build a per- manent foundation and a permanent floor for this machinery, oh ground? already owned by the district, and to put up a temporary building,, to be used until such time as materials and labor may be cheaper for the construction of a permanent structure; after the war. . The Salem school board could not do less, and be in line with the progress of .the whole country. It is gratifying to record that so much has been undertaken. The future development will come as the people see the great value of the system. PHELPS LEAVES FOR OVERSEAS Another Salem Pastor Signs Up for War Work With YJLC.A.

Most amazing is some of the infor mation' that has leaked out of Ger many,, by way of Holland and other neutral countries, concerning the new traffic In unholy matrimony and the plans put In operation by the Ger man authorities as a means of-re-populating their man-devastated em pire. Some of these stories are al most unbelievable, were it not for the fact that the Information comes from sources that are unquestiona bly authentic. Not long ago, according to a story Just received In London, theie were no fewer than .3000 ex-convicts at large In Berlin. The majority were unmarried, and also 'unfit for mil iary service. Through the Derlln chief of police, Traugott van Jagow, the kaiser Is said to have been the one who suggested that these former Jailbirds should be turned Into law abiding citizens. Through von Jagow the hint was conveyed to the proprietors of the scores of matrimonial agencies which now flourish In Merlin. The books of the agencies contained the names of hundreds of German women who were waiting for husbands. The ei convlcts were approached by the ma trimonial agents, and In less than a month more than 1000 marriages had been celebrated between con victs and German women In every degree of society.

But to me the very name of a wo man who could claim as her lover no laughing matter that we were dis cussing.

Is It true they are going to wear hoops again?' Wow!" and Dicky doubled over In enjoyment of his own Imitation. If I had not been so anrry I would have laughed also, for Dicky has a trick at mimicry, but I was bitterly offended. I wrenched myself "free and stood up "Will yon kindly tell me why you should expect me to show any cour tesy to'rour friends when you sneer at mine in such brutal fashion? 'What do you .nean?"
