It is a good thing to take stock once in a while, and to collect a census. ... I The Slogan editor finds a big growth in the automotive industry of Salem and suburbs in the past two years Finds that there are now at least 1000 people employed in our automotive industries; that this means, counting five for each worker 5000 people dependent on this industry And, by this showing, that about a fifth of the 25,000 people of Salem and. suburbs live from the automotive indus try in-its various branches and phases. . i j The Slogan editor finds 84 stages coming into and going out of the new Terminal station, with 48 employees working in connection with this business, in which there has been witnessed in the past two years . There has been growth in going on and will continue. j The new mileage of paved highways centering in Salem guarantees this; the growth of the whole Salem district in many ways makes it certain. The growth in the office of the Secretary of State of the business of collecting auto license fees and gasoline taxes has been very great ; and it is growing right along. . ! The collections from the be $2.400.00(M And auto license fees are and a quarter, millions of dollars a year. I ; These facts assure the permanency of the policy of bund ling new state highways in this state ; they mean that the present state highways will be kept in repair; they mean a new demonstration of the fact that Oregon has the best system in the United States for the building and maintenance of paved highways; a system that has never cost 'and will never, cost a cent in direct taxes. j The system of building and maintaining paved county market roads in Marion county will also be permanent. We will have more and more paved tate highways and paved county market roads and the new annual mileage wil be large when the "peak load' of the retiring of the serial bonds shall have passed. JFji'tW'- ' ' ' " - It is a far cry from the first one-lunged automobile that came to Salem only a little over 20 years ago to the present pretentious industry that has been built up here in that field ; but there is yet only a modest beginning of the greater things that will surely, follow in the 'swiftly developing service of mankind, , . V. -'.'1 t"- - . ; It is a far cry from the one wagon and the old team of the Standard Oil company that, only a few years ago, served Salem with all its gasoline and oil. Salem has beCtfirie a gaso line and oil supply center, with great plants; with many trucks; with 78 people employed in this branch of the indus ' try alone. : t s ;. y- 1 ;i- Salem is making splendi4 growth in many, lines; and bigger things are in the future; many of them in the near future " . . " cChX; ? But the Automotive industry is now and will continue to b fully abreast of the growth, performing its full share in the forward movement. It deserves all praise for the enter prise of the army of hustling people in its various branches.

EUGENE IS RIGHT Uoth the Eugene ; papers and the citizens generally are making a loud complaint because in the recently, ordered 'completion of the gap of the railroad it is still called by the name of the Natron cut-off. The fact is there Is no such town as Natron. ; It was a mushroom town, but when the railroad went, on ' the town went with it, and when it settled again, it settled with it. It is unfair to call that the Natron cut-off. IC should be called the Eugene-Kala-math Falls cut-off. We hope that Eugene will win the. fight. 1 THE MAX AND THE HOUR The disturbed condition of Europe- needs a Napoleon or some other super man big enough to master; all the jrecalitrant coun tries. The situation' there is de plorable and after jive- years of alleged peace, It is growing worse. It was bad to begin with and for five years It is 'growing steadily worse and so desperate that It takes a large vocabulary to de scribe it. f It i has been the boast of the world that the man has always met the challenge of the hour, but five years of unsatisfactory existence, five years of distrust and hostility have ' failed to pro duce any "man who towered above his fellows to any degree. It is quite generally accepted now that Lloyd George. , was not a states man, but the greatest 'opportunist of his time. lie did a wonderful work but when it came to con- tlnent, Lloyd George failed. roln care, the wickedest man in Eur ope, so far as public pol'jry is concerned, has succeeded int' muss ing "up the situation to the detri ment of his own country and the practical ruin of Germany. The result has been that ein'e the In vasion of the Ruhr, Ffiance - has not received any coal fjnd neither has Germany. Both countries aro perishing, yet Franco refuses to admit it. in some ways JLnln is a re markable man," buy he lacks bal ance; he lacks vision, lie is en tirely mater laltetVc and he cannot even hold Russia much longer Individually, h j3 the strongest man in Europe, but every effort he has made to 'extend his influence has failed "because his mind is Bolshevik, "rather than statesman like. Mjbssouli has mastered Italy, bu.t he has shown no signs of being a European statesman He has just mastered an ugly situation in his own country and has rvbt shown any grasp whatever upou European affairs. America is so busy with its own affairs thjut it cannot even offer friendly counsel to Europe. While we are fussing among ourselves Just how much of a helping hand : we should extend. Europe is miser ably perishing, and when it goes down, our country will- Buffer more than words can tell. THE FIRST BATTLE Of course, there Is disappoint ment over the .refusal of the board of education to permit re ligious instruction in the schools. It was such a plain proposition that little opposition was expect ed, but the campaign against It was made adroitly months ago and nothing could change it now. There is no use In faultfinding. There Is no use in pointing out this, that and the other. There is just one thing to do. Accept this as the first battle and resolve that the next one shall not go this way. A good many of the influences that the cause should have had failed at the critical time. Probably these : Influences can be stiffened by next year and backbone be put in where it is needed. The Oregon Statesman is sorry that the board has taken this narrow view but it knows, the people of Salem will rally to the movement because it is a hundred per cent forward and every ; in fluence it exerts will be for bet ter citizenship. This is not a de nominational affair.: It is at re ligious affair, and every church in the city will ; respond with fervor. The narrow effort to raise-re ligious prejudice wilt fail because there is no attempt to teach creed to the child mind. What is wanted is-to teach the Bible. Upon that proposition friends of the movement can afford to lose a dozen times, it ton t me sung of defeat that hurts,' it is the fact that the coming year will see the Children, of Salem without this larger conception of the Bible. COOLIDGE AND STABILITY If there is one thing above an other that President Coolidge stands for It is stability. Uncer tainty is an expensive thing, and if President Coolidge can relieve it, in just such a degree,' if he does so, ""he will bring prosperity to all the country. The fact is that most of the country is pros perous now. - Some people do not know it; others will not admit it, but aside, from the sad plight of the wheat farmers, we are already slowly returning to stability.

There is very little to it. There' are about 24 of them and they are- held because they refuse to take the oath of allegiance to the gov ernment. Would you be willing to have a mad dog turned loose in America? They will infect everything they touch the mo ment they get liberty. . V , GIVE US THE TRUTH The latest report from Russia is that the country ; is not; red. That it is just hopelessly involved In the meshes of its; own incom petency. However, we see in the gradual enlightening of the. dark ness that Russia, giant as she is, is slowly but certainly rising and some day will get on ner own feet. The Bolshevism may be shaken off at one time like we take barnacles off ships, or they may be disposed of gradually as a monster shakes itself free of annoying impediments. According to the latest report. Salem has 22,000 population. Twenty-two thousand busy people engaged in the greatest work in any community In " the ;: state. Salem is peculiar in that its in terests are varied. It' has a state capltol here, together with the state institutions. It has its own city life, but more than t all else, it has a sincere desire to de velop the surrounding country. It is certainly worth while to live in Salem. - HIS IDEALi A letter just published from the hand of President Harding shows that he had prepared and was going to appeal to America through the newspapers to secure everlasting peace. Mr. Harding declared that this would be a monument and that he was ask ing newspapers to join in to pre vent war. Certainly America finds war abhorenf, and no matter what the politicians may say or do, the men who will do the actual fighting must be consulted before there is another war. There is mighty little doubt as to how they will vote. I BITS FOR BREAKFAST! Speaking automotively " "W Salem Is going strong by her self. That is what the word means; having power of moving by it self . Alis volat propriis (she flies with her own wings) is Oregon's motto, but it was adopted long before the day of the automobile. n By the way, Fred Wiggins of Toppenish, Wash., was in Salem yesterday afternoon. He was one of the first men In Salem to own and run an automobile. Do you remember? Mr. Wiggins was then in the machinery business here. He is now at the head of the Washington Nursery company. S "W fifth of the 25,000 people of Sa- lem and suburbs depend on the automotive industry for : their bread tickets? That is some industry; moving by itself, it makes all other lines that it touchesmove. S V Orders for upholstering tow are piling up at the state flax indus try plant. Coming by wire; want ed in car lots. There is a lot of work in hand and ahead at the Oregon penitentiary. Instead of having idle men, there are not enough men to do all the work that has been undertaken, and there will be no chance for un employment at any time in the future, if the present program is carried out. And, before very long, it will not be possible to spare many men outside the walls. Then there will not be much heard of escapes. "b Robert . Crawford, superinten dent of the state flax plant, is praying for another week of fair weather, to get roofs over all the flax. A hard rain just now would wet hundreds of tons of the flax. and the work of getting it dried out would make an immense task. HOLDING A HUSBUID i Adele Garrison Kw Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE CHAPTER 39 4 WHAT MARDSDKN'S LETTER MEANT TO DICKY That something f ar. out. ojtaaJt.9Ljhewek, owing to aibreak - jordinary had happened to Dicky, the news of i which was contained In the letter he. was smoothing out, I was sure.; I was ccrtaiir'of something ; tlse ' also, "that what ever revelation tho letter con tained, I did not wish to learn It on the' public hlgh'way. Therefore, I did not stop the car, as he had suggested, but sent it along'at un diminished speed, speaking quick ly, pleadingly, as I did so. , "Oh, Dicky, pleasei We're al most at the. farm. 1'11 just give these sulphur candles to Mrs. Ti cer she's ;waiting for them, you know- and then let's go on up on our hill. We shan't be disturbed there, and you can tell me all a boat it." I "Oh, of course, if Mrs. Ticer's candles are of more Importance than my affairs;' he began huff ily, but my ear caught aa intona tion of relief 'beneath his crusti ness, and I: knew that he in real ity approved my suggestion. "It's No Use " I did not answer him Indeed did not speak again until we had turned into the neglected, grass- grown driveway of, the Dacey place, had delivered the sulphur candles to Mrs. Ticer, and then turned the car up an old weedy cowrpath leading past the barn to the pasture land on the hillside. As we'.reached it I parked the car In.such a fashion that the exquis itely etched view ot rolling mead ows, woodland and church-sn'red village with the ocean at the end, Bhould face my beauty-loving bus band and comfort him, or at least distract his attention. - But he only gave It his unusual tribute of a long, silent, admiring look then turned back to me with a gesture which savored somewhat of actual despair. What could Marsden have written to make my Peter Pan look like, this? "It's no use, , Madge," JOicky said heavily. "The only usj l ean see for this view is for jne to do it over and over again, and ga around with the little pictures un der my arm peddling them. Look at this!" He held out the crumpled pages of Marsden's letter to me. "Do You Wonder ? ' I scanned them curiously, Feeing what I always see in Marsden's letters, a short typewritten page, dictated to his stenographer, for office inspection and record, and hen a latter written in his own rather eccentric chirograph for Dicky's eyes alone, a letter of In side explanation, ' intimate confi dential, highly indiscreet if ft fell into certain hands, but safe, for Dlcky who counts Marsden r as one of his best friends always de stroyed his private letters as soon as he "had. read them. I took upjhe official letter first. "My dear Mr. Graham: "I regret to inform you that Mr. Pennington i is not satisfied with the illustrations you have made for his forthcoming book, 'In That Day. We have vainly tried in ev ery way to alter, h5s decision, but he absolutely refuses to consider them, saying that they do not cor rectly interpret the spirit of his novel. As, you will no doubt re member, our agreement provided that Mr, Pennington's ; approval was necessary for the acceptance of the illustrations. I wish you would come into the office that we may talk the; matter over. Please advise me if you -can eoine in Monday.

I "put i,he page down, looking at my husband: with a sympathetic, frightened understanding of " his feeling upon the receipt of the let ter. I remmbered so -well t how frankly overjoyed Dicky had been when Marsden had given him, the Pennington book ' to illustrate. Given it not because of Marsden's personal preference or friendship -Marsden would not have given nor Dicky received anything on that basis but Pennington, the man of the day In book circles, had been hunting up an illustrat or, dissatisfied with the big ;men who had been doing the Work, and Marsden had j adroitly brouuht some specimens of Dicky's, work before the great author's eyes, without a word of comment upon them. Pennington had declared that they were exactly the kind of thing he wished, and Dicky forthwith had been given the work of illustrating his Just-finished novel. j , ii nan meani a great tleai, lor Dlcky-while a promising and- more' than ordinary successful, il lustrator has not reached the top of the ladder, where threef or four men sit complacently but in securely, and this was the first time he had been- chosen to illus trate one of the books whic h : I had heard him describe as "top- hole things."

On the hottest day of summer 11 is a good time to think of a storj ' of the Antarctic regions, of Dr. ,; Douglas Mawson, whose struggle' through snow and ice at a temper ature of .28 degrees below xer. were brave ones. : ' With two companions Dr. Maw son discovered the south mag netic pole on an ice cap 2,000 feet above sea level. The party car ried three sledges- and 17 dogs,. with 1700 pounds of provisions. One day Lieutenant Ninnls, one of the explorers, fell through a ' crevice in tho ice. With him went the sledge containing the remain der of the provisions. The other, two men let down ropes, but they did not reach, so there the ex- plorer perished. - " - The other men turned back to-' ward civilization, but before many days Dr. Mawson's other companion. Dr. .Mertz, died or ex posure. : Dr. Mawson was left ; alone, 300 miles from the nearest;': outpost, without' food, except for the dogs which he killed. He could make only five or six miles a day, as his feet were so bruised . from cold. - Finally, after three weeks of .. bare existence, he stumbled upon a cairn containing a bag of food, L left by a rescue "party which was a looking Tor him. Inside was a note telling him the location of' the rescue ship; And so Dr. Maw'-.') son was saved. 1 Not the Right Kind 1 Bill:-- "With such a good job ' you ought to be fired with enthusl- ; asm." Phil: "That's the trouble. I' ' was. " buried her head on the stile and started to weep. - Bo-Ppep could not' bear to sea anybody sad. "I must go and help her," she said. "Maybe the sheep will not run away. I will hurry.") ' . Bo-Peep did hurry, but when she got back the sheep were all gone. Search, aa she did. she could not find a single sheep. Old King Cole was very angry when she told him, : "You have lost , all -my valuable- sheep." he stormed. "I shall discharge you, and the Queen of Hearts will not want you when she hears." .' ' Just then there watt a knock at the door. It was the little old woman ' with the pig. "I have brought the pig," she began, hold ing out her last treasure. "And Little Bo-Peep's sheep have all returned. They knew better than to run away from such a kind Httle shepherdess." She told th9j whole story. Then Old King Colo was sorry he had been so angry. -He pro-: mlsed to give Bo-Peep anything.' she wished as a reward. "Then: give the old woman back her Pig." cried Bo-Peep, and her an- swer made the old woman, the king, herself, and even the pl happT'-r-;-r:f-."'- rov - BBw -mm aW r." -j I Loads Of Fun m mm mm m t
