SALEM MUST BE ON THE AIR MAP.

Perhaps it is a little early.
But the early bird gets the best breakfast,
Salem must be on the air map. 1 I .
Within a few years the city of any size without its standard avia
tion field for public landing will be lonely. , j
There should be at least one ample area1 at Salem for the welcome
of the flying svranger so marked as to be plainly visible by day or
night from a distance of a dozen miles. , ! .
The figure of a huge cherry done in arc lights might help "the aerial
wanderer to-locate the center of civic hospitality.
Or, a figure of the Capitol dome v ' j .
The marking should be such as to 1es thoroughly significant of
the city the Cherry City or the place of, the CapitoL '
There should be no chance for mistake, "
. The State Fair, Grounds landing is all right, perhaps.
But whatever landing is chosen for the Salem station on the Air
Highway, it should be properly marked and some sign of welcome
held forth during 11 the hours of the day and night. j 1
The reader may think this is not important now. , , !
Let him consider that the air mail route between Washington and
New York has been in commission for a year now; that it shows a
profit of $20,000; that jut of the 726 flights of the first year only
seven were incompleted because of weather or other trouble. I
And there was no fatality or serious accident.
Air flying is here to. stay, and grow, and Salem ought tp be for
ward looking. . , , H i
This is the best graduating class of the Salem High School yet.
Of course. So have they all been. And sowill they all be. i

Now speed up the Foiirth of July
celebration preparations. j
The movement to have the treas
ury coin "half-cent pieces has been
abandoned. It was Impossible to
find anything you could buy with It.
Another ten million dollars loaned
to Italy. The Italians are evidently
getting ready to celebrate the com
ing Fourth of July in a riotous fash-
. .Every vessel sailing from France,
no matter how small, Is now being
' used .to bring our doughboys home.
That sounds good.
Every red devil in the plot fot
the Fourth of July ought to celebrate
the Fourth In jail; and all the. days
after his conviction in some other
. land than the United States. "
It Is claimed that Senator Howard
Sutherland of West Virginia, who is
organizing a campaign for the Re
publican presidential nomination, is
the father of eight daughters. He
will need the ntoney. ; Which of his
possible competitors has served his
country so well?
The late Thomas S. Harrison by
his will has ereate4 a trust fund of
nearly a million -dwiars, the in
come of which Is to bV used in im
proving governmental conditions in
Philadelphia. The success of. such
a trust fund depends of course on
how It Is administered. There are
so many public movements that lan

Senator McXary says he will not
support -Senator . Hiram Johnson of
California for the nomination foi
president. "I -will not support any
man for nomination who is unalter
ably opposed to the League of Na
tions," says Senator McNarjr. .That
is an excellent reason. As to Hiram
Johnson, however, there are- about
ten thousand other good ones.

occurred since 1908 and will not 'oc
cur again till 1930. Eclipses are
believed by the superstitious to pre
sage momentous, things. For that
matter it is always possible to point
out momentous things that happened
just after eclipses. , Last year there
was a total eclipse of the sun June
8 and on the same date the discov
ery of tho new star In: the. constel
lation of the Eagle was announced.
This must have meant that the kais
er was to be totally eclipsed and that
the ! American eagle was to be tri
umphant. So the eclipse meant trou
ble 1 enough for the kaiser, but It
brought victo-y to our side. Right
after the eclipse of May 29 a neigh
bor of a friend of the writer lost a
whole brood of little chicks killed
by a rat. : So' you can see how these
things work. I If the reformers want
to go to the bottom of things they
should have legislation passed abol
ishing eclipses and suspending the
movements Df the heavenly bodloB,
at least until the president gets
horns. !
THE SAYING HABIT
, The-e can be no thrift without
saving. The way to meet the high
cost of living is to economize on the
luxuries aod put something by. If
th'ings cost twice as much as they
used ho. convince yourself that a
hoarded dollar is as good as two and
then you won't have so much to wor
ryabout. Contentment is a state
of mind, aryhow, and doesn't depend
upon' how much money is spent.
Don't moan, even if prunes are 25
cents a pound- Los Angeles Times.
Good advice. And. any way, Sf
they aro Oregon prunes, they are
worth It.'

TTPEWRTTTEN SIGNATURES

! - 1 i .
In these days of typewritten let
ters and equally typewritten official
documents the writing by hand is
becoming a lost art. ' ;
Average of time for reading let
ters Is two minutes for the body of
the letter and anywhere from 15
minutes ti two hours trying to figure
out who made the hieroglyphics that
stand for a signature.
In these days of economy it seems
wicked to : waste so much time. Let
the stenographer type the signature
in full at the end of the letter,
leaving a space below in which the
author may satisfy his taste for cu
bist or futurist art. 1
Every man, even a lawyer or a
soldier, has a right to sign his nams
as he pleases. But the man who
writes a signature which none can
copy or read should at least fur
nish his friends with a key to th
code he uses.

People who believe' in signs and
omens will be much impressed by
the fact'lhat the heavenly bodies are
behaving In such an unusual way
at thisxtime. April 2 the very bril
liant planet Venus went so close to
the new moon as to give the im
pression that they were about to
merge. ' A very rare total eclipse of
the sun .took' place May 29. though
it was' not visible In our latitudes.
May 23 Venus passed within about
two degres of Jupiter, In the west
ern evening sky, presenting a. re
markable spectacle. : June 5 the war
planet Biara passed within only a
fraction! of a degree of the planet
MercuryJ ; Jjne 27 Jupiter and Mer
cury are together. And 'July 2 Ve
nus and! Saturn will pass so close
that they will look like twin stars.
Other interesting planetary stunts
take place, during the year. The
crowning event however will be the
annular -eclipse of the sun Nov. 22
which will be visible over the whole
country. Such" an eclipse has not

THE VNEMPLOYED 3IERE MAN
There was a man who looked around
For work, 'most any place;
But any place he looked he found
A woman in the case.
A woman took the street car fare;
A woman ran the lift;
A woman ; took the ca3b with care
For cigarettes he whiffed;
A woman sold him hats or hose
Or pies or cakes or U-a,
And women at the movie shows
The tickets sold with gle-e;
When to an agency he came
For work to meet expense.
A woman clerk wrote down his name,
And read bis reference.
"The proverb old,' I find, is true,"
He said, with gloomy face, .
"And all life's worriments are due
To women in the ease."

THE LYNCHING HABIT
The lynching of a man 'named
Lynch in Missouri has started a call
for a congressional investigation' In
to this miserable Southern habit.
li is sam mat mus lar tnis year
twenty-one; persons have met death
at the hands of a mob, five of whom
were burned at tha stake. Praeti
cally all of these were colored. This
Lynch was a white man,: hence the
call for congressional action with the
view Of n.t re, drastic laws to curb
this national disgrace.

, . Vive La Cherrlans
Editor Statesman:
Along with many ' others I was
much pleased to learn that the Sa
lem Cherrlans had captured the
first prize at the Portland rose fair
this week.-1 I ' sometimes wonder If
our citizens really appreciate what
an asset the city of Salem has in the
organization known as the Cher
rlans. It certainly Is gratlfyinc to
hear what a. fine impression this
body, creates whenever they appear
on public occasions in different cit
ies of the state. It Is a bir advertise
ment for our town.-' Although the
members of this public-spirited as
sociation are' not often the recipients
of a formal vote of thalnks, I wish
to voice the sentiments of a larce
body of our people when I say "Vive
La Cherrlans."
' M.
About Changing' Year Name
Editor .Statesman:
In several of the late papers I
have noticed where people were ask
ing the county court to have their
names changed, or the spelling of
name.
Does this hae to be done by the
court? ' .
If a person changed It himself.
what effect would that have on deeds
of land, wills or marriage certifi
cates? Would they be legal with a
misspelled name?
Wanting to Know.
(It Is the better wsy. If the court
changes ' the name, the change be
comes a public record, and abstract
ors of title will copy the record and
examining attorneys will find no ob
jection. But anyone may change his
name to suit himself. That Is his
privilege. In doing so, however, he
is piling up trouble for abstractors
and lawyers and successors and
heirs. In case he ever acquires pro
perty, or property already owned has
to be transferred. A good deal of
name changing has been going on
lately, to ret rid of former German
names. Ed.)
THE FLYING MAIL

service between New York tnd Wash

New Public School Manuals

Superintendent J. A. Churchill is
making a complete revision or the
courses of study for the elementary
schools and the high schools of the
state. The State Textbook Commis
sion met on June 2 and made many
changes in the texts adopted for u?e
in the public schools. Immediately
tbereafter the state department of
education began the work of rewrit
ing the courses of study, since they
could not be written until it was
known just what the treatment of
the texts would be. Many inquiries
are already corning Into the "office
of the superintendent of public in
struction asking for copies of the
new manuals. Superintendent
Churchill makes the announcement
that the new editions will not be
ready for distribution nntll about
the middle of August.
For the special subjects, such as
English, the various sciences, foreign
langusges and vocational courts,
special committees of the National
Education association, and aMer con
ferences with Superintendent
Churchill, wil submit to him courses
for the hig schools of Oregon In such
subjects as ave been assigned to
them. The courses in all of the fun
damental subjects, such as reading,
