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.

Dicture maker of parts, but he

J This is the United States, not Russia. We have different

in free, speech and a free press, and by the same sign we

He decided that it was lucky his

disturbing t possibility and asked
abruptly: .

"Kipling," said Piggy instantly,

"Smith. Rowena Smith- Yours,

"Batenose."
She looked at him reflectively.
I used to hear sometimes about a
boy they called Piggy Braienose."
"H'm . . . yes. Ever hear any

warily.
"He was a groat athlete at col

devil things and getting into

"Dad says I still do 'em."
"Oh! I wondered if you were

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

"Where is he? Show me and he

"He, hasnl annoyed me -that

didn't think anything about It
then, but before we came In here
he drove past In a cab and 'leaned

It sounds queer, but it's some

the deep, clear pools of her eyes.

Piggy began to realize that in

had undertaken rather more -than

with his boyish grin
"Nothing comes after that for

"Oh. come off!" Piggy elegant

have used had she beep a man of
his own age. "Don't be an idiot!

I'll forget it and no .harm done."
The friendly warmth of his
manner, together with its utter
lack of deference, the absence of
the slightest implication that she

bined with her need and what she
had previously heard about him to
break down her reserve.

RY THEIR EYES
Some sage gave it ns his opinion
that one can't know a man until
one lives with him.
It must be admitted that up to
date we have had to take a great
many things for granted where we
gave our friendship or bestowed
our love.
This, however, is an age of in
vention and discovery. And a cer
tain modern wise man has just re
vealed a method by which we may
read the character of the most
casual acquaintance. And read it
on sight. All we have to do is to
look the casual acquaintance
straight in the eye. By, the color
of the latter we shall know him.
Taken seriously, this method
promises to save us a lot of con
fusion and trouble
From now on we shall be en
abled at a glance to tell that the
man we meet is not the man we
are looking for and to pass right

modern wine man who offers us
the key -to the secret chambers of
other people's souls, the key that
swings opn the door .upon their
virtues and perversities.
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. Familiarity with Dr.

retails scandal, seldom finds fault
and never talks too much nor to'
little. She' has a cool, calm and

The most fascinating eye is the
black eye. declares the lexicog
rapher, an d it is a barometer or
emotion. In anger It flashes, in
love it grows limpid. And it tells
the world that, whatever its owner
makes of matrimony, in ' affairs
financial he is bound to be succ
essful. Blue eyes are lucky in love' and
In other things less sentimental.
Perhaps becaue they take their
color from the un trammeled sky,
blue eye s belong to the strong of
heart and the well poised of mini';
to those who never side-step dif
ficulties but who, by sheer
strength, overcome them.
Brown eyes, bring luck to their
owner, too, although not quite so
much as blue eyes "do.
If there's .green in your eye, you
cannot count on your own good
fortune, and you are apt to upset
the best laid plans for peace and
pleasure of those who, love you.
It you've eyes that do not

you might have been acqu'sed of

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.
