If anti Japanese legislation is not enact ed by this legislature the failure will act as an invitation for an exodus of Japanese from the Sac ramento valley into Oregon. If this legislature does not act now I fear we shall wake up and find that we have delayed too long." Senator Strayer said he wanted action that would avert another war. He said that while national effort to solve the question had continued through four years the governmen was handicapped a part of the time because Japan was an ally in the world war. EWrhart for Bill. If the national congress fails to act," said Strayer. "I will be the first to agree to a special ses sion of the legislature if neces sary, but now I do not believe In muddying the waters by state action. It should be left to the new administration." Senator Eberhard. in opposing the motion for indefinite post ponement, said he did not believe any treaty the United States could enter into would solve the difficulty for the states. . Senator Lachmund cited cam paign utterances of President elect Harding to the effect that he. considers the Japanese ques tion a serious one. "The new administration is soon to be in power," Lachmund said, "and I believe there will be national legislation that will solve the problem in Oregon." He read the telegraphic advice from "Sen ator McXary. Senator Patterson declared that he was for patriotism and home, Patterson for Action. "We have been told," said Sen ator Patterson, "that if we will delay action the question will be taken care of by the national ad ministration. I recall that Wil liam J. Bryan, when he was sec tetary of state, went to Califor nia and urged the legislature not to enact anti-Japanese legislation because the national government would act. This Is several years later, and the same argument Is, being made. I fear that if ws wait two years It will then be too late." Senator Banks, in closing the debate, called the legislation as proposed discriminatory against the Japanese, and said all the ar guments that had been made in favor of the bill could be made as well against the Creeks, the Turks, the Italians, the Portu guese and many other races. He recalled that the former Chinese problem had been solved by treaty. ' -. -' - Hodgepodge Decried. "If one state passes one kind of law and another state some other kind." Banks declared, "there will be a hodgepodge of legislation. There are only 4500 Japanese in the state and there Is no menace. Senator Eddy says the Japanese should be restricted to the same laws that restrict Americans In Japan. . 1 want to inform you that In Japan Am ericans can lease land for 99 vears.

WOODRY, The Auctioneer "Grace Draper's brains must be getting addled or else ohe is ab sorbing some of the Teutonic cocksureness. and imagines ours are." Lillian said ruminatively while I struggled to preserve uy poise under the startling .an nouncement that Mrs. Allis was actually in the house, engaged as a maid. "Of course, the woman la, exceptionally well disguised. I'll have to slip ft to her for that, her wig is perfect, and whoever made her up is a crackerjack. If I hadn't been expecting '.hem to bite when 1 inserted the adver tisement she might have fooled me for a little while. Bui as it is. I recognized her the minute I s5t eyes on her." She paused, glanced at me shrewdly, then went on rapidly: "You don't need to have a min ute's uneasiness. Madge. You're not going to set eyes on her nor she on you. "I don't want to be shielded." I protested. "I must hare my share in this work and danger ts well as the rest." "You must be shielded all I can manage." Lillian returned, looking at me significantly. "I won t be so cruel as to shut you out of the final round-up, and 1 shall need you there. But for the next few days you'll obey my re quests, won't you?" "Of course," I answered cheer fully. "Well, then." with a flash of approval in her eyes, "you're not to stir from the second floor ex cept when you're personally con ducted to your father a next door. This Allis fiend is the one unrer tain factor in this business. Of course, she is working under Grace Draper's directions; tney want some one inside the house at night, for they know Kato sl-eps next door. And while I am sure that Draper has sent Allis here primarily to put you permanently out of the way. yet she has no doubt, instructed her to wait un til the last minute to do It, so as not to Interfere with the plans fcr getting that paper.

I heard no second rustle, but I was psychically nure that the rl lent Asiatic bad come noUiessiy in behind her. and taking advan tage of her absorption had cou cealed himself in the folds of the curtain at the other pide of her. With trembling fingers I took down the Chinese vase, remove! the single blossom it contained, poured out the ater. ostensibly unlocked a small box on the dress er and jook from it tne curiously shaned magnet, drew forth the metal pencil case from the depths of the vasa. and lrom it unrolled the rice paper Allen Drake had lauRh ngly prepared. I appeared to peruse it c?;efcl ly. then with an audible "hank heaven it's all right!" I reversed the -process I had Just fone through, and with a soliloquized "I think I'll take this Into my own room." I unlocked the door and went to my room Lillian appeared a moment or two later with th3 news that Aga thu followed surreptitiously by Kato. bad ascended the staircase and that they had come down in reverse order, the quick, noiseless As'atic having been successful In following Agatha without her knowing it. VThere's only one thing left for us to do to settle Agatha's hasn so she can't meddle," she said. "The rest is in the lap of the gods."

During the period of the exist ence of the Salem club, the neonln of this city have had many reasons to know that the elubis composed of men who are. willing to assume maces or leadership and co-opera tion in the real construct! tin dertaking for the good of the community. In order that everybody may know Just what a Rotary club is. what Its teachings are. why it has sucn a small restricted member ship, why the wives of Its mem bers are such enthusiastic sup porters of Its activities, the club men have decided to devote one entire meeting to a discussion and consideration or the several uhases of the club's organization, ideals, activities and growth. Not onlr will th local phases of the subject be discussed, but there will be given the story of the de velopment of the organization from a group ot only Tour men. In the original Chicago group. 16 years ago. to a total of over 800 clubs today with a total member ship of 65,000. . "I have explained to her, very seriously and plausibly." she went on. "that there are Invalids In the house, and that the elder Mrs. Graham and I prepared the meals ourselves. I put her to work cleaning and dusting, and your mother-in-law-will 'keep her busy when I'm not there. And. of course, we're going to give her and Kato plenty ot time for con ferences. But she'll not be al lowed upstairs, and don't you come down. "You'll have plenty to' do, for Mother Graham is going to take care of Katie, leaving Agatha to snoon to her . heart's content. I want you to divide your time be tween your mother-ln-law'a room, where the Chinese vase Is. and your own. and watch the Asiatic and Agatha. Of course, don t let them actually get the paper, but if they don't find out where It is before night give them a hunch without letting them know you're doing it. And now look out for yourself. I ra overdue downstairs to break In tha 'new maid." She flashed tne a merry, confl dent smile as she went out of the room, and I envied ber sureness. With her to plan a thing waa to accomplish it. And the task she had outlined for me to betray the hiding place we had so carefully guarded In a manner that would appear plausible, was one I in finitely dreaded doubted mw ability to perform. It waa Agatha on whose knowl edge of the house I counted, who gave me the opportunity I wished. Agatha, whom Lillian had given full opportunity for sly watchful ness because we both had seen that Kato had intuitively realized Agatha's peculiar genius and was himself following her.

It is a room whlcn neither Dicky nor I would hare liked, but mother-in-law chose it perversely enough, for she never dares to climb up or down the twisting, narrow stairway. The doors to tne stairway at the top and bottom are always kept locked, and since the Chinese vase was removed to my mother- ln-law'a room I have always kept me aeys. Tne nrst step n my little plot was carelessly dropping the keys when I was sure Agatna was watching me.
