Steve would no doubt insi&t on go ing with her, sharing her shame, but the mere thought of such a thing made her shiver. It would mean suicide for him, for both of them. With sudden decision she began a search of the telephone direc tory and finally located Steve's number, his address. Then she called for a porter.

She almost Signed herself "Slyvia:." Perhaps he would understand,,, some day, when she found herself, if she ever did in a positioJn to prove her innocence.

IB the whole business I want to know it so as to be able t0 plan accordingly. -iIn most states, you know, sen tences are handed out by a man called a "judge," his duty being to judge which lawyer makes the best speech or has the best politi cal standing, and decide the case accordingly. But evidently it is different in Oregon, as in the long list of culprits who have not been properly or lawfully sentenced I see no mention of , a presiding judge, . . , , Whoever had the responsibility of sentencing them was evidently convinced, ot their guilt, for they were convicted; but he got .weak knepd : when it came to imposing the penalty,, flouted the law and refused to Impose the jail sentence which is stipulated as a part of the minimum .lawful penalty. .. So. it seems that Mr. Williams la a good prosecutor but a punk magistrate assuming that he acted in both capacities, since the chings he is being cussed about seems to be the failure to impose adequate and lawful penalties. If there is any object whatever in publishing any of this stuff in the newspapers, it is that the pub lic may have a chance to judge the facts if any. This being the ease, it might h,elp fl trite .a bit if all of the facts were given, instead of only part of them. . Why use dashes", instead Gf names in publishing the list of cases?

Newspapers use dashes Instead of names frequently when the persons involved in crime have never been given a chance to clear their names, as in the present in stances.

The action of the state emerg ency board in putting its o. k. on the -financing of the present flax crop, so that the growers can have their mocey as fast as they deliver their harvest, sets a good preced ent. This action may not be reded again; and then again it rt'ay be needed. j If it shall transpire that the French systems of artificial retting and drying of Hat is available, and within reach of the state flax plant either from its own resources of through legislative action; also It the Cz?cho-SlovakIa invented mal rl.ine for taking the fiber from the straw without retting, the wa Henry Ford is doing with a maj-t-hine of his own invention, shall be installed,. it is conceivable that the penitentiary plant will be able to use the product from a greatly increased acreage perhaps twice the acreage of flax of this year. This may happen for the 1127 crop. In that case, it is conceiv able that lhe action of the emerg ency board may be needed again jnext year, for" twice the acreaga: of flax of this year would take a pile of money to pay the farmers. ! j s ' , j With the possibility of the two" linen mills in Salem running two shifts, it will take 5,000 acres of flax to keep them supplied with fiber. "With. three" shifts, it will take 7500 acres. The acreage for this year is about 2500. Can yotr think of any other 250 Ores of land in Oregon, or anymore elie, furnishing the basis for such an industry? Indeed you cannot. - Whenever the two Salem linen mills can spare, enough yarn from flax fiber, of the proper lea or fineness, Salem will have a Diemel specialty plant, for making linen mesh underwear and. bath and hospital towels, employing 1600 people. And this is possible, with in a year or so. . The patter of tiny feet was heard from the head of the stairs. Mrs. Whitworth raised her hand, warning the others to silence. "Hush," she Baid BQftly.
