Vii: V v It was one of-the affairs that sticks in the memory when one forgets all about, weddings, or first babies, or college gradua tions, or little things like that. They, had a famous turkey dinner, an orchestra that ---erred up lilt ing music while they ate roast turkey and cranberry sauce, and olives, 'n everything. i ! Quartet Warbles Well They had a quartet, Messrs. Mott, John P. "Whltet. Rufus White and C. E. Knowland, that took up the musical relay with the orchestra in most delightful fashion; and they had decorations that were almost as good as the dinner or the concert. They end ed with a dance for those who still enjoy the dance. The main event, outside of the dinner and the social hour, was the masterly address of George Fallis ot Vancouver, B. C- He Is a famous Rotarlan after-dinner orator ; of the British Columbia country, and.R. O. Snelling has been trying to get him here, for the past two years. I Kotary Creed Applied He spoke oh "International Fellowship," as exemplified in the Rotary creed, ? His address was divided into two main part, one telling of the horrors of war and they are grisly horrors at the hands of such a master ot descrip tion as Mr. Fallis and the other telling of the way out. In this latter part, he said that the state of continual prepared ness and suspicion . tends to the ultimate war, as it did in Ger many. When a man loqks always for war, he will find it, he said. He did not decry courage, or spirit: there are causes for which a man ought to fight, causes in which honor is better than life. Half Truthe Decried However, he deplored the teaching of half-truths in history, and the adoption of distorted or half-true creeds as the basis for national prejudices that tend to wards war. The illogical classifi cation' of a whole jiatlon by the measure of one treakisb or crim inal representative of that nation. he especially decried. In the end, the teaching of Rotarlan fellow ship and brotherhood; he held to be the road that the would would have to follow it it has peace.

Y, L she met Head of Portland Longshore men's Union Not Thought Proper Party PORTLAND, Or., Dec. 6. The Waterfront Employers' as sociation today declined to treat w'th A. J. Clopek, president ot the Longshoremen's union rela tive to a settlement to the water-i Jront strike here. Clopek ar-l rived several days ago and after consulting with local union qf- Jclals, invited the employers' re presentatives to a conference. The invitation was declined on the ground that dealing with Clopek and local union represen tatives would be Indirectly deal ing with the I. W. W., who have collaborated with the other un ions in the strike and that such dealings would excite suspicion en the part of men now at work who replaced strikers who have been assured of the permanency of their jobs. It was also contend ed by the employers that Clopek and his associates are not fully representative, of the union as many union men are working with the non-union men now on the docks. Clopek and his as sociates resumed their confer ence late today but made no statement. 8A Adele Garrison's New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE CHAPTER 177. WHAT DICKY PROMISED HIS MOTHER For several days I had no time to speculate upon the "surprise" which Dicky said he had for me, but with which the news of his mother's illness had Interfered. Dr. Jim Paige had confirmed my amateur diagnosis of Mother Graham's ailment as influenza. For three days until the attack fortunately a comparatively mill one had run its course, both Dicky and I had our hearts, minds and hands full. Then came the period of convalescence, in Moth er Graham's case, always a most trying time, and one which Dicky Invariably dodges as much as he possibly can. "By George, 1 don't see how you stand it, Madge!" he said one day when he had hastily left his mother's room after an unusually petulant outburst upon her part. "I'm going to keep out of her way until she gets well, or I'll say or do something I'll be sorry for afterward." I reflected grimly that if 1 shared his temperamental attl tude toward filial duty, his moth er would ba sadly neglected. The insouciant impudence with which he transferred his tasks to my shoulders, chafed me, but experi ence, has taught me that any re monstrance with Dicky is worse than usaless. Like many men, he is a tower of strength in any real emergency, bu) selfishly slides out of the humdrum yet vitally necessary details which appear always to be left for the women of the world to muil over. But even the most nerve-racking experience ends sometime, and Mother Graham's recovery progressed slowly but surely until the day. came when she was al lowed to sit outdoors upon the veranda and Dr. Jim Paige made her his last visit. Dr. Jim is WlstfuU "Yoh shorely don't need me any .longer. Ma'am," he drawled in his old-fashioned way as he took his leave. "Yo'U be able to kill a ba'r in a day or two more." I followed him out into the hall to bid him adieu, and as he shook my hand, he said a bit wist fully: v . .... . -l don't suppose you've .heard from Edie, have you?' : .: "Not directly," X, returned. ,MI EMP n UN HUSBAND had a letter from Mrs. Durkee in which she spoke of Edith, said she was well and wished to be re membered to all of us. You know, of course, that she Is stay ing in Marvin with Mrs. Durkee until the honeymooners return from their trip?" ' I knew Edie went north after Alf's mother a couple of days after the wedding," he said, "but she was so busy I didn't get a chance to see her. I don't sup pose you saw her. I sent word to her she mustn't come over." "I Knew It!" "I am afraid your dictum or that of any authority would not have kept her away if we had needed her," 1 said, and I spoke only justice to Edith Fairfax and little Mrs. Durkee. Both had urged that they be permitted to come and help nurse Mother Gra ham, but I had steadfastly re fused. "No. Vou're right. hp' great stickler for duty, Edith Is," the big physician replied, and 1 felt a wave of pity for the shy, awkward man, who wore his heart so patently upon his sleeve, but I also felt a gust of irritation and something deeper at Edith Fairfax. Too well I knew the reason why she so steadfastly re fused the advances of this ".third or fourth cousin" who evidently had loved her sa long and de votedly. Her feeling for Dicky was as patent to me as that of Dr. Jim's for her, though I did her the justice to 1 acknowledge that to outsiders she was not as self-betraying as Dr. Jim. I watched him stride down the path to his waiting car, wondering- if his rare selfless devotion would ever be rewarded, if the girl he loved would ever open her blinded eyes, and realize the value of the gift she had spurned for so long. Mother Graham's peremptory voice I was thankful for the Btrength of its tones interrupted my conjectures and called me back to my round of duties. "I think I'll go out upon the veranda again since the doctor says I'm so strong, but first I want you to tell me something. Do you know what the thing is which Richard is waiting to tell me until I am strong enough to hear it?" I stared at her in amazement. "Indeed, no," I said, "although the day you were taken ill he came in saying he had a surprise for me, but when he found you were ill. he said that would change things so he might not be able to tell me about it." .'Mother Graham struck her hands together. "1 knew it!" she said. "He's up to something he knows will upset me. Hurry up, get me out on the veranda and when I get my breath back I'll tell you what I know." (To be Continued.) STAYTON .

OUT Hunt-McDonald Go Best Last Night Rocco Loses on Foul to Mackie Only two of the bouts on last night's Company F boxing pro gram went their scheduled dis tance. One was a technical knockout, one ended in the third round on a foul, and only the two preliminaries kept going till the last bell rang. It was an evening of joy and gloom. The joy was in the sec ond preliminary-, between Bill Hunt of Salem and Bill McDonald of Portland, four rounds. Nei ther is a strictly scientific boxer, though Hunt has improved so much since the first time he ap peared in a Salem ring. last win ter, that he looks slmost like a champ. McDonald in Lnck McDonald was as lucky in get ting a draw as Columbus was in catching the last car for home when the Indians were after his scalp. Hunt didn't escape un scathed, but in the last round he was doing almost everything to hia Portland vis-a-vis except lariat him. Hunt. knows what it is to be pecked in the face for about steen times every two-minute round; his second last night, Boatright, did it to him, twice, when they met in the same ring on two other occasions. This time, Hunt was the better roan; he was miles better than ever before, and it was a bout that was worth going a long way to see. It was in fact the main event in interest, in time, in everything. One cheer ing visitor said, "They don't need to put anything else on the card I've had $2 worth already out of this match, and I still owe them some money." He ought to have paid it, for it was really good. Needham Uses Head Danny Needham of Spokane was much too much for Jack Stanley of Portland, in the 6 reund semi-windup. Stanley had the reach and stepped and crowded around for the first round and part of the secofid, while Needham covered and blocked and studied. In the third, Stanley was down twice, as helpless as a baby even though on his feet and trying to fight, when Referee Tom Louttit stopped the bout and gave the decision to Needham. Stanley made the grave mistake of believing what he seemed to see, while he still had his reasoning faculties, and trying to crowd the crafty Need- bam with an open guard. Need ham gave the impression at first of a rank amateur, with a weak cat-scratching overhead punch that would harm nothing. Stan ley wore himself out in futile footwork, and then he got his linish. Hoff Suddenly 111 The main event was a double disappointment. Joe Hoff, who was to have met Al Mackie, was taken suddenly ill in the after noon and was rushed off to the hospital for a surgical operation The management secured Chick Rocco of Portland on a last-min ute call to take hia place. Rocco was half an hour late in reaching '.Salem. They fought well Into the third rVund, with Rocco giving Mackie as pretty a fight as one would wtsh, when in a mix-up Rocco ac- cidentally struck a blow that the referee couldn't do other than call a foul and then give the de cision to Mackie. Mackie was hurt, temporarily, but. the foul hurt Rocco much the worse. If he didn't cry real tears, nobody will ever know the difference. He was making an excellent showing t. .

The match was good while it lasted. Mackie was similarly hurt in a match two weeks ago, though be went on. after a short rest and then lost. Wharton Itt'ats Harlan Jimmy Harlan of Saiem and Lefty Wharton ot Molalla opened the evening with if our rounds, with Wharton being declared the winner. Harlan aad no experi ence and no chance save to duck. The mystery of Wharton's not wading in and really winning will last for a long time.
