BEAN - GET READY FOR NEXT YEAR Walter S.'Low, Salem's street commissioner, is working xm hiTnmetieth block in this year's street, paving program And he is hoping to finish twenty-five more blocks before the" rainy season makes the finishing of paving jobs impos sible. Parts of Salem are being made over with the paving of the streets; made beautiful; made into inviting districts for pleasant homes ; taken up out of the mud of winter and saved from the dust of summer. Wherever a strecx is paved, its residents immediately take more pride in 'improving their premises, in keeping up their lawns in planting trees, ir growing flowers. . t Salem is becoming "The City Beautiful," and this is being greatly facilitated by the paving of several miles of streets each year."" ; -. ' There will be a larger program for next year . And every preparation ought to be made for it. There are several ways. 0ne is to prepare the largest possible num ber of streets this fall and winter, by draining and graveling them, and . allowing the travel of the rainy season to pack them and render them fit for the finishing work-next sum mer. There are a number of sections where this should be done . . . Notably the one surrounding the new linen mill. A years time can be saved in many cases by the preparatory work. The thing to do is to save it.' . THIS IS THE UNITED STATES . vj' Douglas Fairbanks, actor and motion picture star, makes the amazing and" amusing suggestion that, because in Russia the government has a ; monopoly of the film industry and produces pictures' that h calls remarkable, the United States should take over anctcontrol motion pictures, in this country. Motion pictures, says Mr. Fairbanks, are recognized as an instrument of propaganda, and the government might as welluse. that .instrument. - ' ' 1. - There: are at least three objections to the plan Mr. Fair banks Suggests'. - s ? . In the first place it is based on a fallacy. Motion pictures are not anjnstrument of propaganda in any free country.. They constitute a form, of artistic entertainment capable of wonderful development and expansion. ; In he 'second place, if the government ought to own and control motion pictures; it ought also to own the plays of the spoken drama and the theaters at which they are produced And Ijie pewspapers and magazines--; ,? And, finally, motion pictures would degenerate inevitably fhtof n instrument of propaganda,' and both art and freedom would be remorselessly sacrificed to bureaucratic interests. 4 It is so in Russia, with both motion pictures and news-capers. : Douglas Fairbanks -is an Dicture maker of parts, but he some other Americans who riot looked through and behind the soft words of the propa-j gandists. . J This is the United States, not Russia. We have different ideals from those of the Soviet overlords of Russia.

There was no denying that the scion of the house of Urazenose had acted upon impulse again. Then "he flushed hotly, remembering the absurd accusation that he was ro mantic and reflecting upon the in terpretation his parent would cer tainly put upon this adventure He decided that it was lucky his dad would never know anything about it. Rut he was pricked by a disturbing t possibility and asked abruptly: . "Do you believe in romance? Think there is. any such thing?"

" "Kipling," said Piggy instantly, "Like him?" t . "Of course. He might have known she would. But hehad met girls who didn't. Reassured, he relapsed in? to silence again. If he remember ed the full content of the verses from which she had quoted, it was to dismiss the plea 'as part of a onet's job. Even a short-haired. red-blooded poet like Kipling, he supposed., couldn't wholly escape the taint of his trade. Which teemed a pity. Before Sherry's door he helped her put of. the cab, and while be paid . the driver she crossed the pavement to the steps, turning just in time to see another hansom driven slowly past. Its only oc cupant, a small, dark man, leaned forward to eye her searchlngly. rhe girl caught her breath a.nd again the color ebbed from her face.; "Oh, la, la!" she whispered. The restaurant was deserted. save three or four late-breakfast ing, men absorbed In morning pa pers, and Piggy chose a corner table, ordering two glasses of old sherry and biscuits. The he leaned back in his chair, smiling it her, and said: "Now! Let's begin. How about telling me your name, as a star rer?" ' "Smith. Rowena Smith- Yours, you said, is ?" . "Batenose." She looked at him reflectively. I used to hear sometimes about a boy they called Piggy Braienose." "H'm . . . yes. Ever hear any thing to his credit?" he asked warily. "He was a groat athlete at col lege, and was always doing dare devil things and getting into scrapes." ! "Dad says I still do 'em." "Oh! I wondered if you were he," she replied gravely, and went Into a brown study from which af ter a long pause he jogged her. "Well? What about it?" "Is there any way out of this place except that?" She nodded toward the entrance they had used. ."Not that I know of. Why?" "Isn't there a service door on an alley, or something?" "1 doubt it. I suppose you could go out through the catering place on the Avenue, at a pinch. Why?" When. she did not answer, he para phrased a line from "Floradora." then having one of its numerous revivals: ; "You've got to trust Bomebody, and it might as well be me. . You can. you know." Y-yes, I think I can. Anyway. I've got to -a little. There's a man following me and I want to slip away from him." "Where is he? Show me and he won't ann6y you any more." "He, hasnl annoyed me -that way." - She. smiled faintly. I mean, he's not, trying to flirt with me. But I saw him at the station, iust standing around watching. ' I didn't think anything about It then, but before we came In here he drove past In a cab and 'leaned forward, looking, at, me, and Tin sure he followed us." "Oh. I guess not." Beginning to wonder whether she was slightly demented, young Mr. Brsenose adopted the soothing tone used on occasion by all normal males to ward women, children and horse a, kind ot "So-o. boy. steady" tone. "Probably he just happened to' be coming this way. Lots of people do. Drink- some -of -that sherry-P You're, as pale as 'a ghosL:- i j. , j : - I think he's a detective." , f ;i'A detective!

The friendly warmth of his manner, together with its utter lack of deference, the absence of the slightest implication that she was a maid and he a man, com bined with her need and what she had previously heard about him to break down her reserve.

This is the how and the why of it: Suppose, for instance, we hap pen already to be married to a man whose eyes are gray. If Dr. Vizetelly's rule is true, we may expect to look forward to a long and happy wifehood. That "other woman" is not likely to in trude upon our wedded bli.ss. Pov erty will never drive love out of the window. Nor ever in the shad ows of sickness and affliction are we doomed to walk alone. For "Men witti gray eyes are keen, energetic, steadfast ... and in the hour of sorrow to be depended upon for full sympathy." So much for the woman mar ried. Now for the man in search of a wife.

(AP) As the result of the kill ing frost here last njght.it was estimated by potato producers and shippers here today that the Yak ima valley potato tonnage had been reduced from 10 to 23 per cent, or 1200 to 1300 cars less than normally expected this year. The reduction will be caused by the vines being killed, thereby preventing the tubers from com pleting their growth. Fail To See TV e - i mm . mimi - . - T 1,1 1 fflf FAVOIIS STATE BUMS Departments Could .3foise $350,000 Toward Struc ture, He States .-. . The state of Oregon sadly needs a new offico building for housing various state departments and commissions that are now scat tered all over Salem and Portland, Thomas B. Kay, state treasurer, told the local Lions club at its luncheon yesterday noon. JFI nances for the new building could be raised chiefly by the depart ments themselves, he believes. The state is hampered in appro priating money for such a pur pose by the six per cent tax limi tation, which allows' only a six , per cent increase In property tar each year over tne tax oi me year before. The property tax Is low now because it was cut down In 1923, the year of the Income tax here, and it will take a long lime to build it uu again. "No one would fail to advocate this new building If he aawtthe basement ot the state house, where many state employes are now compelled to work," said Mr. Kay. " This basement Is dark,, unsanitary, and has a very lof roof. Working conditions in it are very bad." - The various commissions now pay about $40,500 for office rents annually, according to Mr. Kay, and they should be able to raise between $300,000 and $360,000 toward the new building. He cited the automobile license tax" as one bringing in a surplus of money each year. USE YOUR CREDIT . .
