It is as important that repairs be made early and often as often as needed as is the construction of the highways In the first place. ; Eternal vigilance is the price of good roads. The Roman roads that have stood for 2000 years in some parts of Eu rope, and other-roads built of stone that have been in use for centuries, are still as serviceable as when they were first built : . ." ' ?'t But there have been constant repairs throughout the ' years. The American doughboys who were in France were struck by-the constant and patient and thorough work of (the men in charge of the roads of that country; each man having a small stretch of road, under his care, and attend ing to it as if his life depended on it; and indeed it does, for he has a life job and he may have been at it for fifty year or more, on that small stretch of road and his fath er before him, and his son after him. How long'" will the paved roads of Oregon last? . They will last as long as they are kept in repair; re newed. - - - : But they must be renewed and kept in repair constant ly, and at a great aggregate annual expense, if they are to be kept up for present use and for the use of future gen erations, j v ; , Perhaps the men who haul freight in heavy trucks over the paved roads of Oregon think they are regulated and taxed and licensed and supervised enough now. ) But this is a matter that must have study and atten tion; is getting such 'attention in Washington and Calif or nia and other states. v Here are men who and companies which have contrib ' uted little or nothing to the cost of the paved roads, but who are doing a large share of the wearing of them out. . This is the chief problem concerning the Oregon paved roads, besides their first 'construction. The state highway, commission should be called upon to give its recommendations to the Oregon Legislature at its . session to meet in January in regard to the proper charges . for such uses of the paved roads of thi3 state, along with its program for continuing the construction of new roads. .; r'"'T"" "" ". "' " ". ' T" "TT A representative of the American Can Company made a statement recently that the' salmon industry on poth sides of the Columbia river is a great industry. But he said that up at Salem they put into cans fruits and vegetables each year that are tfar more valuable in the markets in the ag gregate than all the canned salmon product of the Colum bia. Had you-thought of it in that light? And the com parison will annually grow more startling, in favor of the Salem canning industry. m which all who have not at tended, and tvrho intended and ought to attend, may attend in comfort.

The destroyers and " battleships Secretary of the Nary Denny has sent to Turkish 'waters are merely for obserra tVoni and the protection of Ameri- ' can Interests.

The greatest state fair in the history of the west haa two more full days to run, and it is to be hoped that they may be fair days, Fads, when you get down tc hard tacks, really rule the world. "By their fads ye shall know them" would be a good revised version of an old text. If you are out of fashion, out of form, out of date, out of the swim it means that you haven't caught on to the latest fad3. Of all the customs that distinguish the people of one age or clitae from those of another, none is so typical as fads in eating and drinking. In our sententious moods we like to say, "As a man thinketh," and look profound and wag our heads wirely over the psychologi cal discovery. And all the time, "As a man eateth," we know is the only rule by which we can learn anything about him. As a country eateth, as a, race eateth, as an epoch feedeth it self, so will that race, that epoch either rise or fall. The present age in America prides itself on being a robust ape; that ie to say, to be vigorous p.nd vehement and glamourful and rambunctious and electric and ex plosive and tropical is the indi vidual ambition of the budding American era. Novelties in music, in dancing, In drero, in art, in church ser- raons have come fast and furi ous in response to this, demand. Yet the most 'pertinent query for fixing the status of the post-war American era is. What was the leading fad in feeding and what promise did it hold for the fu ture of the people? There are three meals by which the world is judged, lunch, din ner, breakfast and the greatest of there is breakfast. So, with a blast of trumpets, let the herald announce that the big breakfast is now all the rage and no one is up to date any more who isn't a good morning trencherman. In thfe America is all to the good. We were In dire peril of fall ing for the finicky French roll and chocolate, the -virginal Eng lsh tea and marmalade, the slice of fruit and swallow of vermouth of the Mediterranean. Not so breakfasted the men who hewed a new civilization from the rocks of this western continent. Their breakfasts were Raibelaisan, mighty epics, grand Da Vinci canvases. They started the day right and because they started the day right they started the country right. Ham, eggs, bacon, cornmeal, buckwheat cakes, maple syrup, codfish balls, coffee In great nfugs, hot biscuits, butter with out stint or limit, hash, fried po tatoes, apple pie. farm-made cream cheese, bowls of warm, foamy milk on the strength of such breakfasts ' as these the young republic grew to world overlurdshir. And then came a period when the good, old, American break fast suffered a temporary eclipe. U came to be a fad to start the day with a nibbe instead of with real eats. About that time Wood row Wilson was elected presi dent. The end was very close when the no-breakfast vogue began to make headway. Some saw a deep laid plot by foreign rival. to destroy our fart growing world influence by per suading us to surrender the old fashioned American breakfast. They hoped to change our fashion in eating as they had already changed our fashion in dressing by popularizing foreign importa tions. Luckily a wave of robust Am ericanism at ths timewept the country. Ehen XI. Poiret and his Paii fashions began o "lose caste. And with a whoop and a roar back comes the old Ameri can breakfast, bigger, more boun tiful and more red-blooded than ever. Fashion has decreed it, the doc tors have indorsed it. A wave of new national expansion and abnormal development may there fore now be expected J n every direction. I BITS FOR BREAKFAST Fair weather protrlsed S m S And a great Friday at the fair.

I want you to airest them," exclaimed Mrs. Field, breathlessly, the plumes on her hat waving and her double , chins queering with, anger. J , . "I'll fix ,em,' announced' the big policeman, following her down the street. Around the corner he went and there, sure enough, were two boyfe, .standing under a tree. At the end of one of the slender, high branches was a tiny kitten. They weren't throwing stones, but bad. a bg knpttod stick which they took turns in throwing up into the tree. They were bo busy that' they" didn't hear any one approaching, and' were nearly" startled "our-of"MLheif wits when the heavy hands of the big policeman fell ' upon their shoulders. "Young wretches!" shrilled Mrs. Field. "Heartless little an imals!" "We weren't hurting your old kitten, we were Just trying to " "None of your back talk," ex claimed the officer. "Cruelty to animals ain't no charge to be laughed at. You just come along with me." Mrs. Field glared nt them and set her mouth grimly. She hated boys, anyway, and she would see that these two got what was coming to them. The two boys looked sullen and scared. They didn't try to say anything more. Their faces were scarlet as the little procession started down the street, old Mrs. Field waddling along in the rear looking as though she had just captured some German spies or a bunch of bombers. Halfway down the street- a young man came running up to them. "What's the matter here now?" he inquired, looking" pus zled. "None of your business," re torted the policeman. Mrs. Field explained. "These awful boys were stoning my cat" "The Idea!" replied the rotlne up a tree about an hour ago. The kitten was scared and couldn't get down. I was watching from the window and was starting over to see what I could do, when these boys came along. I told them what was wrong and they went off to get something to throw farther up along the branch so they'd knock the kitten off and it would fall in the grass there in the yard. They felt sorry for It." "Well, if you're sure that's the case," hesitated the policeman. "That's what we wanted to tell you," said one of the boys. The policeman released them. "Come along, boys," said the'ln dignant young man. "I'll stand a treat at the drug store." "Sure, thanks," replied one of the relieved boys. "On the way way we can stop and have anoth er try at getting that brainless cat down." Mrs. Field looked rather queer.
