' The American tVar Mothers have worked long and faithfully. 1 fliey are a small band of devoted women. They have given cooke4 food sales, rummage sales and labored in many ways to clear off the obligation. But the American! ;War ft' others have in hand also another undertaking; that of endowing hospital beds for service men and women ' .

This corner of The Statesman of yesterday told of 4,100,000 children of school age in this country who are learn how to cook and keep house according to the most modern 'Trinciples.;l.,:-(-:i,:t;:v; .;: j r , . And now comes the announcement of a contest in the higher walks of the profession of good housekeeping that will interest all high school students every where in this country ' y The average housewife of today may be familiar with only a very few cuts of meat as revealed by a recent govern ment survey; but Mrsi Housewife of the future is to be far better equipped in this behalf if the National Live Stock and Meat Board has its way. t ; - Results of the survey, which was conducted by the Unit ed States Department of Agriculture, have prompted the board to launch a new project of meat education. among high school students of home economics j And this project will be known as the Second National Meat Story Contest,, full particulars concerning which will be in the hands of high school home economics instructors and their students in the very near future.) . i The first contest of this sort was held during the spring of last year in co-operation with the home economics depart ments of the nation's high schools. The initial effort was for the purpose of stimulating the study of iheat through offering an incentive for;the student to write upon this sub ject.. The new contest is a continuance of the original idea, . the need for which has been accentuated by the findings of government investigators. Home economics instructors in all parts of the country heartily endorsed the first contest as an aid to education, and many urged that; further work be done along this line. Approximately 12,000 high school girls representing every state in the Union competed, and it is expected that a much larger number will become interested in the present event. Dr. Louise Stanley, Chief of the Bureau of Home Economics, V. S. Department of 'Agriculture, served as chairman of the judging committee in the first contest! L The incentive for students to enter is offered in the form of cash prizes totaling $2,500, the National Champion ship prize being $309.

' We must make1 our ' penitentiary industrial; we must make it teach every convict some trade so the time there will not be necessarily lost. It is a big job, but big jobs have been undertaken before, and the legis lature should look carefully Into the needs of the institution from an . industrial and humanitarian standpoint. , ! GETTING DOWX TO BUSINESS GOOD ENOUGH "'. So much has been said about J goitre being indigenous to Oregon fhatit is migfity fine to have the ; truth known. Dr. E. P. Sloan, re , tiring president of the American ' association for the study of goitre, declares that s there is no. such Mhing as locality or goitre belt. iue ,aisease is prevalent every whcrek and . no more in Oregon than anywhere else. Dr. Sloan also makes some mighty Important conclusions, and these conclusions are respectfully referred to the j authorities of Salem. .'One form . only of , goitre, an endemic, is due in a deficiency of iodine. Other, forms seem not to be. r, f '" i '.-.-" : f "Indiscriminate use of iodine as a treatment is condemned. "In some cases It has been found actu- 1 ajly harmful. , ;;: t . L 4. "Within a year the belief of a few specialists has grown to be almost unanimous that goitre Is due to infections. "Research seems to show that heredity has no more to do with goitre than it has with tuberculo sis and other diseases said to be hereditary." , It may be all right to admin ister iodine for some forms o goitre, but we urge that the mer its of this be looked Into before iodine is' used as a cure-all. good many of the cases that iodine cures may not be goitre at alL LEARNING A TRADE A man recently dismissed from the penitentiary was re-arrested this week in Salem in the act of committing a burglary. His ex cuse was that he couldn't get work and really this-was the only line he knew how to follow, the only trade he knew. That man has j The organization, of the cherry growers in Portland Monday, rep resenting as it does four states, ought to-be able to impress con gress with the necessity of raising the tariff on cherries so as to give the cherry growers the chance of their lives. , ; . 'a - The cherry growers have not properly looked after their Inter ests, but this is no time to be calling attention to that. This is a time to be devising some sort of plan to remedy the depressed condition of the present : time. In a resolution adopted at the session request . was made to the granges, farmers' unions and farm bureaus that their .members petition con-, gress to establish the cherry tariff sought by the growers. I I T " Agitation for' formation of a state-wide cherry growers' organi zation in Oregon was a feature of the meeting, but the Oregon pro ducers present thought ; the time not yet ripe forj this. Immediate objectives were left In ! hands of the general committee or set forth in resolutions. 5 ?N;f m- -; One resolution petitions the leg islature to make, spraying of cherry trees compulsory. . jSpch a regulation was t projected fas a means of combating the cherry maggot fly, which caused consid erable damage in California last season and resulted in a quaran tine restriction. The state board of' horticulture will be asked also to prohibit shipment of cherries from one county; to another with out Inspection. ; Mr. Maddox served as chairman. of the conference and Paul Gul key. The Dalles, Or., was secre tary. , ; I GOOD ENOUGH Chairman Tooze of j the joint ways and means committee em phasized the ' fact that Oregon must not and could not neglect the feeble minded. Those child ren are elose upon the hearts of the people of Oregon. They are so , helpless, so dependent, . so at the mercy of the world that they appeal to human sympathy as no other class of people do. There must be buildings out there and equipment to take care of all the imbeciles of the state which are taken in. We have out there the only solution of the imbecile prob lem ever devised, and it would be a crime not to open the doors wide enough to admit every child, in Oregon needing that attention. TYMAN SCORES Warden Tyman has been head of the Colorado penitentiary since 1909. He has ! been" one of the outstanding wardens of the United States. Many efforts have : been made to get him, but he has al ways been able to weather the storm. Tyman -was - In a large measure the father of the move ment to treat convicts as human beings. The result I3 better prison conditions all over the United States. ' ' r Recently the governor of Colo rado removed Tyman and a legal fight has ensued. - The courts are inclined to side with Tyman. Every man who tries' to reform has to meet this same opposition and probably -always will. We must fight for every step of prog ress in this country and especi ally for progress in criminal work. MY MARRIAGE PROBLEMS Adele Garrison's' New Phase of REVELATIONS OF A WIFE certain as to my mood. His im agination always was lively, must have pictured, me reading- the daily newspapers with their bi zarre accounts of his escapade. It was humiliating reading for any wife. And he must have told him self that my grievance would' be -augumented by the fact that I had no suspicion of Claire Foster's proximity to his social horizon. He had left home to go to the Adirondack camp of a "best gel ling" author, whose work he was to illustrate and since thensave lor a hurried perfunctory note I had received no word of him. His beseeching telegram . had trough me to him, but I was sure that he had counted upon my sense of conjugal duty Inherited from my Puritan ancestors rather than upon my affection when he dispatched it. "How is Claire?" a All in all. I told aiyself a bit grimly, my Peter Pn was facing realities and finding them rather distasteful. If it bad not been for the reporters ho, I knew, were furtively watcning me, I am afraid, I should have given him a greeting which for chilly hauteur would have confirmed his worst imagination of my attitude. But with the knowledge of that fur tive, dangerous surveillience be hind me, I smiled at him and lift ed my face to be kissed in the most approved wifely welcoming fashion, after saying with what I fancied was just the right touch of solicitude: " 'Lo, - Dicky, Are you sure you're not a bit hurt? And how is Claire?" , : I That there was not a more sur prised nor more grateful man in the surrounding country, I knew from the warmth of the-kiss and embrace be gave me. But partly from necessity, partly from a little malicious desire to wound him, which only an offended wife could understand, 1 punctured his pleas ant reaction, with the murmured words against his collar: . 1 . . ; -What Madge Demanded "Careful. Reporters just behind us. Play up. I felt his arms stiffen, and then relax, and knew that he had com prehended the stilleto thrust I had hidden behind the warning. I practically had told him that my kiss and cheerful greetinr wai but camouflage and that the reckoning between us had not been cancelled it was only defer red. But he quickly seized my cne and answered me in a tone sufficiently loud to be heard by any surreptitious listeners: , . "Haven't a scratch, thank you! Claire's left arm and shoulders are a bit bruised she says, and I think she is suffering a little from nervous shock, although, aha won't admit .it. But now you're here she will be all right. I Bent word to her you'd be around to see her in the morning." ... "In the morning?" I echoed, "why not tonight. Poor girl, - it must be awful for her here away from everybody. I want to get her. home with us, as soon as we ran. Is she able to go, do you think?" "I'm sure she will be able ,tp travel by tomorrow," he returned, "'and as for seeing her tonight, you can all right. It isn't bo terr ribly late and I can get a motor to go over to the resort. I thought you'd be too tired to attempt it." "What nonsense!" ! gibed, "I am not so easily fatigued: But I warn you j I'm , terribly hungry. Will there be anything to eat out there?" ! ,'You had better come right over with me to my hotel now." he said with solicitude which at any other time ould have delight ed me, but which gave me no slightest thrill of appreciation. "You mustn't wait for that twenty mile, drive." "But indeed I shall, I returned determinedly. -"Twenty , miles; that's an hour at the longest. Tel ephone ahead, there'e a dear, and ask them to have' something hot ready when we get there. They'll do It, won't they." "Ob. they'll do it," he acknow ledged reluctantly, "but are you sure-" " 4 "Dick Graham." I faced him with wifely milltance,, "You are the most provoking man I know! I don't want to eat here. I want to get out there first. Please, stop fussing and get a car!". And . so he turned ' away from the little waiting room, where he had found me a seat, while we talked. I felt that I had played the role of an unsuspicious, un of fended wife satisfactorily. To Be Continued) Copyright by Newspaper Feature i Service j ' - CHAPTER 375 - - HOW MADGB. CAREFULLY PLAYED HER PARTI FOR DICKY There was In Dicky's eyes as he came up to me under the sta tion light a distinctly wary look. It was a look which. I imagine very wife receives at some time or other from her life partner when he knows he has almost ex hausted her patience.: But even through the tenseness of the mo ment ft reminded me irresistably of the expression I had seen In eyes of mischievous schoolboys who upon facing the teacher were not quite sure of what fate was to be meted out to them.

THE CUIUS OF JNDIFTZRENCZ I Vronvrilit 1925. bv San Jose Mercury) j REPORTS of the results of the last presidential election re veal the alarming fact that in most of the states a little more than 50 per cent of the qualified electors voted,! while in not a feW of the states less than 25 per cent voted. Taking the whole country together one-half the voters had not enough in terest in the welfare of their country to cause them toitake the trouble to go to the polls and express by their ballot their con victions is to the men best qualified to lead us in the coming four years. '". "-.'.!; ! ; ' 1 ; - If the men who settled this country and started it on its glor ious course had been equally indifferent to the public welfare it never would have become an independent nation, oi having gained its independence it would have speedily gone ppon the rocks. They fought for the right of self government which so many of itheir successors now carelessly throw away. I There is danger-ahead for our country unless this criminal indifference of so many of its citizens can be replaced by a quickened sense of individual civic responsibility. j If the character and attitude of these delinquent citizens could be known it would be found in most cases that they are equally indifferent to the welfare bf the state, the county and the city in which they live. They never participate in any public activity calculated to improve or advance the community of which they are a part. "Let George do it" seems to be the guiding-sentiment of their lives. In their business and industrial relations it is the sanSe ; no energy, no enterprise. If they are employes they take no interest or pride in their work. They feel little respon sibility oi none to their employer or to the industrial establish ment of which they are a part. They perform as litUe work as they can' and still hold their positions and are not the bnes who secure the promotions. Indifferent, unambitious, inert,! they are not good citizens considered from any standpoint. j I . ; . ; :; j Many people take this same indifference into matters o religion. If they ever seriously ask themselves the question, "If a man die shall he live again?" They do not seek an intelligent answer to it. They either take all their religious ideas ready formulat ed from others or they are so indifferent to the things of eter nity that they have no ideas, about them and are not seeking knowledge in regard to the great problems of the ages, j No mat ter what; a man may profess or think he has, unless he, takes his religion seriously and strives earnestly and prayerfully! and con stantly to realize his religious ideals in his life and develop a real Christian character, he has no religion worth mentioning. The old religious teaching tended to stimulate this; indiffer ence, i The idea that Jesus is to do everything for ui, to take away ouj- sins and their consequences if we only believe in Him, and His atoning blood, is not calculated to stimulate thje believer to any great or persistent effort to "grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord." The pity about it is that the New Testament gives no warrant for any such teaching.) It com mands us to seek God and His truth, not indifferently 4nd weak ly, but with all our hearts, and it is promised that if we! thus seek we shall'. find. ' Jesus declares positively and plainly! in many places hi the Gospels that the kingdom of God, which is within us, can be attained only by those who do His will, and that those who "do not according to His will shall have their portion with the unbelievers." I ! Since t is promised by the Master that to those whoseek first this kingdom of God and its righteousness all things needed shall be added, one would think that those who profess jto believe the Scriptures and to be followers of Christ would bejmoved to make the effort to be something more than merely nominal Christians. Many more would doubtless do so if ther had not been taught that Christ was to do it all for them, j ' I ' -. - An old adage says that "God gives every bird its food, but He does not throw it into the nest." The law of the material uni verse requires self-help, with the alternative of starvation id'deaih; and the law over the spiritual life of each Individual is the same.- God, Christ will do much for us, and without that help we can not succeed in the work oi regeneration ana cnar acter building, but each of us has a real work to do if we are to succeed in the perfomranco of this greatest duty to man. Let us not be deceived. In order to succeed in really reaching this kingdom of God, in order to be a real follower of Christ, in order to be anything that amounts to anything to us m a spirit ual or religious way we have real work ahead of us. Spasmodic or intermittent effort wll not succeed here any more than it will in business or education or anything else m the world. Un faltering determination, constant watchfulness that we enter not into temptation, and unflagging effort to overcome our baser selves and bring to us the realization of the promises of Christ. Nothing else will. A. .. . .. One whose life was such as to give peculiar authority to the words has said: "We are not seeking, and we can not find, the kingdom of God and have, all things added unto us, unless -wc-seek it with the whole heart. We are not requited to look for something visionary, indefinite or far away in time or space. We are to seek righteousness, purity, perfection godliness, and where these are we shall find the kingdom of heaven, with noth ing lacking, with all things added." . "Who God doth late and early pray : - More of His grace than goods to lend; r And walks with man from day to day, As with a brother and a friend; -v" This' man is freed from servile bands ; ! Of hope to rise, or fear to fall ; i i'" Lord of himself if not of lands, : Though having nothing, yet hath all."
