WA MOTHER ONtY KNOWS A MOTHER'S FONDNESS"
'V ; . .
"A mother is a mother still,
1J , - The holiest thing alive."
,.iHThe hope for the rescue of Leslie Brownlee, Portland
youth of 20, lost on the slopes of Mt. Hoo since New Year's
day? has gripped the hearts of a whole nation for more than
a week . . .. ' ' , :
And especially has-the hope that is almost without hope
touched the deeps of sympathy In the breasts of the country's
mothers ;'.;:, - -t
For "a mother only knows a mother's fondness"
- And the mothers of . this country have heard over the
radio and read in the newspapers the story of the mother of
the lost boy who went to the front snow line trenches imme-i-fi-
-VP0.1 sundineT of the alarm, and there in the
coih from which' the searchers have gone out"' she has
labored day and night in helping, to equip them for their
perilous quest. And when the weary hours drew out to
wary days and hope faded, and the searching parties were
called in, this mother and her husband, the lost boy's father,
kept up courage, and the strongest of the volunteer mountain
cr8 were heartened to keep on and on, even to the combing
of the canyons to the depths of which they had to be let
d&wn -with ropes
Even to a last attempt to scale the peak. of the mountain
ia the blinding storm.
i
"The cofd winds swept the mountain-height,
And pathless was the dreary wild,
And 'mid the cheerless hours of night
A mother wandered with her child :
. As through the drifting snows she press'd,
i i ..The babe was sleeping on her breast."
?Thcse lines express something of another scene in the
jrrt"poets mind, not unlike the patient vigil and tireless
JaOrsf ine mother of Leslie Brownlee on the slopes of
frowning Hood

louring the pat week there was admitted into the ranks
pf, the Salem chapter of the American War Mothers a refined
and retiring woman. When it was time for giving the new
member of the organization her classification, it was suggest
ed that her title should be "Gold Star Mother," meaning that
tTshewas one who had lost a son in the World war
i But she insisted that she was not entitled to that distinc
' tlon For nine long years there has been no news from the
jflpny.' There is no record of his loss. No record of any kind.
, He: is among the missing '
fAnd the mother will not admit to herself that he is lost.
;S5he j&till hopes that he is living; hopes still as she has hoped
.for, nine weary years. So she does not wish to close the
chapter of her hope by wearing the insigna of a "Gold Star
Mother' And she is, in the ranks of the American War
Mothers with the title of those mothers whose sons were in
the service of their country and have come back home. Is
:there a reader of this paragraph who does not pray that she
may not have to change her classification?
f i"Youth fades ; love, droops ; the leaves of friendship fall ;
T 'A. mother's secret hope outlives them all."
THE
I "'What is the use of tinkering with the compensation law?
;if It how provides compensation for injured workers without exact
Intr profit. The cost of administering it last year was 7.6 per cent.
"For compensation of Injured workers .under private insurance,
iPlfoflis are exacted. Profits have to be paid to a long list of function
aries, and profits have to be paid on the investment. The cost of
administering private compensation is 40 per cent and over.
' -"'It Is to gel profits out of injured workers and from the widows
aid; orphans -of dead workers that changes in the compensation law
ate proposed. Why force them to pay profits when they can have
compensation with no profits to anybody?
? .This Is the Issue, and the only Issue, in the present raid on the
workman's compensation law."
H? )The above is from the Portland Journal oMast evening.
There must be'no tinkering th the compensation law.
There is no call for tinkering with it, from the great body of
tfie people of Oregon; none from the workers in the factories
an4 other j places of employment, in this state
i "And there will surely be no tinkering with it; no i dotted
tor t crossed in the law, unless it be for the purpose of making
ititronger and more workable and more just, with a few
touches giving the commission administering it more power
'of option; making some of the provisions of the law more
resilient and less rigid.
"No member sitting in cither house of the legislature has
the right to speak in the name of his constituency with a
demand for tinkering with this law.

BY FUCKEMCS SMIT
Love! Money! On these twp
hang most of the laws of existenccj.
Opposltes in very essence, yet they
have this one thing in common : i
Each is, paradoxically enough, ait
once th ecause and the result oti
human endeavor. Either can be
driving force or goal. f
So It happens, not inevitably
but often, that the two are rivals
bidding for first place in man's
consideration.
He who claims that love is mor
to be desired is likely to find th
''open sesame" to material gai
eluding his knowledge.
While he who declares wealth
the greater of the two and con
centrates upon piling up the
sheckels pays the penalty for bi
choice when in his hour of need
he discovers the love he slighted
has vanished.
o
A certain widow in our town
labored from, dawn until dark
sparing her strength no strain, al
lowing herself no leisure. And a
kindly neighbor, noticing the
droop of her shoulders, the dark
shadows beneath her eyes, remon
strated:
"Why do you work so hard
Martha?" she said. "You have I
comfortable . home, all paid fori
Your boy and ybur girl are old
enough to support theraselvei
should the need arise. It seem
to me you had better be conten
with what you have. Relax an
enjoy life a little. You can't take
your riches into the next world
with you, you know!"
"Oh. but you don't under
stand!" replied the widow. "I
am not laying up treasure for my
self, but for "my children. John
left us enough to get along pnj
but I never want my children to
hsve to work. I want to lay up
enouch to leave them well off!" !
Nor wonld she be . convinced
against her will that there could
he another rUde to the story. By
and by-work and worry took their
grim toll. A boy and girl were
left a little .fortune tht weir In
vested., might have fulfilled their
mother's wfhes, but. foolishly
iu8iidered, for they bad not been
taught z( money's. i worth, actually'
brought them, more harm than
good. And that boy and girl. Shav
ing little to .soften the memory
of, a hurried. " harassed mother,
short of temper. Impatient of In
terruption, apparently Indifferent
to their youthful interests and de
sires." scorned her for their own
shortcomings, blamed her for their

evil fortunes, recked not at all
that mother's self-sacrifice.
A legacy of riches! What did
it amount to?
Nothing! Exposed to the shift
ing winds of chance the riches
took wings and flew away.
How different another legacy of
which we read!
No gold and silver and precious
jewels, but . affection, was be
queathed in a will drawn and
filed according to the law.
The letter that companioned
this unusual document read: .
Dear children, I've just made
my will, and this is to tell you
what I want done with my little
personal belongings. Don't keep
anything just because it was mine;
they are just things, and worn
and shabby at that; love doesn't
neeasuch things for remem
brance. "... Thing of me alive . . .
and -near, and loving you . . .
"Love one another. Hold fast
to that, whether you understand
one another or not, and remember
nothing matters except being kind
to one another and to all the
world as far as you can reach."
Legacy ot love.
A legacy that time cannot with
er nor rust corrode nor the fate
ful breezes waft away.
Precious beyond measure such
inheritance.
"Remember nothing matters ex
cept being kind to all the world
as far as you can reach."
This brings to mind a little
phrase we've long remembered:
"Next to the verb 'to love. to
help is the most beautiful verb in
the world!"
Love or money! If choose you
must, which seems to you fhe
more worth while?
Keeping Cool Aids Memory

PHILADELPHIA, CAP.) If
you want to have a cowl memory,
keep cool, is the advice given stu

This are of wonders is the mech
anical control of air, or scientific
ventilation.
The fact of the matter is thSi
the ventilating engineer of today
can'create any condition of weath
er.'or climate wanted. He plays
wkh air like the par golfer or star
pitcher plays his ball. He con
trols afr directs it curves it
dominates it. Mechanical venti
lation, electrical air control, man
ufactured weather or what you
please, has. been reduced to an
exactscience. -
Do you want j-our home,- school,
theatre, factory or office torrid,
frigid, arid.- humid or like an
ideal, balmy day in exquisite June

neer can fill the prescription in
every detail.
Until just two or three years
ago, theatres and .other public
gathering places closed every sum
mer because of the hot werfther
and resultant low attendance.
What is happening now? Elec
trical air control carries off heat
and cools the theatre. People go
to many theatres on the hottest
days in summer to keep cool!
Thus, the theatres are turning a
serious liability into a solid asset.
One of the unhealthiest places
in the world used to be the "little
red school house up on the hill."
Here children were packed into
sCuffy. odorous tooths, with ab
solutely no ventilat--i except the
occasional spasmodic opening of a
rattling window that was quickly
closed when cold drafts brought
chills and jhivers. Thousands of
children caught bronchitis, tonsil
itis and all the other tis's and
isms because of a stupid system
that vitiated . their little bodies
with dead, fouled air and annihil
ated their resistance to disease.
What is happening now? Many
cities and states have passed se
vere laws compelling mechanical
ventilation of schools. An arous
ed public sentiment has become
crystallized against the wicked.
cras attitude that . our children
are not worth spending a few ex
tra thousand dollars on in the'
protection of their lives and
health. ' . -
