OUR QUOTA DOUBLED; RAISE IT ALL The Red Cross flood relief quota for Marion and Polk counties has been doubled; increased from $1800, the revised amount, to $3600 And the sum subscribed now is $1354.64 " Or that was the amount reported up to last night And the balance must be raised. There should be some doubling lip, and individuals and organizations should devise new ways to secure more funds, to make it 100 per cent. The whole nation is being appealed to, and is responding, and the people ofMarion and Polk must not have it said that they; are slackers, or even near slackers, in the face of such Li Put yourself in the place of a flood sufferer who has lost his all, and ask yourself the question if you are your brother's keeper . The question of the first slacker of recorded history. WANTED TRAINED MEN (Portland Journal.) - That the future Portland policeman is to be required to have at least a rudimentary education is the decision of the municipal civil service board. It is the contention of the board that such require ments will raise the standards of the police department. In these days policemen are given wide a-uthority. They are called upon to use a certain discretion. It is their business to doal. and deal courteously and properly, with tbe public. . It does not follow that a man without educational training cannot educate himself. Many men have done that and have risen to high position. Jt does not follow that educational training is absolutely essential to succesl in whatever calling. But it is a fact that the man with an education has an advantage. His brain has been trained to function. His mind is clearer and more alert. He can think with greater speed and accuracy. And statistics prove that the educated man Is less frequently a failure. 7 Portland wants and needs the highest type policemen possible. With wide authority granted them, it sometimes requires discretion. When dealing with the public, as they are. Portland wants her police men to deal as courteously and properly as possible. j In the old days, with the saloons and gambling houses running wide open, the toughest and the hardest man in town and the best two-gun fighter was usually selected for ichief of police. - But those days have panned. Times have changed. There are traffic laws and other such : ordinances to" be enforced which require discretion and courtesy rather than a quick trigger puller and a sure shot. Tfie action of theTivil service board, when It becomes effective. We must give more 7 " Flood relief quota doubled. Ben Hur is coming back. The four performances were not enough to accommodate all our people who wanted to see the re markable picture. i S The health demonstration of Saturday showed that Salem most1 have a larger audience hall; must have a big auditorium. S S Dad Watson had : the biggest crowd ever at his old time dance last night." Comes back on the 19th. ; ' ';' - ' ; Coins to bore for oil at McMinn- ville. too. We may be in for an oil boom. Surely will have it, if the Eugene we'l shows oil in pay lng quantities. m wm Another thing that makes food cost more is the fact that it's more fun to choose from a menu than to cook. W The difference between work i and exercise is that you can work without a special uniform. "m V Some men's idea of roughing it is to drive through the park with the window of their sedan down. The blue bird and the robin are cousins, both belonging to the thrush family. But the robin hates the blue bird and chases him when ever he ; gets a chance '-an old family feud, as It were. WATER LOWER, BELIEVE CRESCENT CITY SAVED (Continued from pafe 1.) ish mayor-said. In his Jetter to the -ouncil. Permitting the bridges to remain in their present condi tion was endangering the live of not only Salem ciitzens b:t out of town people as well. Many members of the council E.xprHsned beliefs that a bond issue for this purpose would not carry with the people, although unani mous opinion that new bridges were needed immediately was con ceded. Councilman Patton favor ed placing both the bond issu) and the- 5 mill levy on the ballot so the people could choose bel tween them. Alderman W. H. Dancy stated r ' Engine House Planned ihai the 2 mUlJevjL for fire equip ment and" maintenance would be tiserf to purchase two new pump- erw, to provide new engine houses in south, north and east Salem, and to install a fire alarm system of 50 boxes, all of which, he said. Vere urgently needed. The proposals will be placed in proper form as soon as possible and returned to the council in time to .prepare them for the bal lot in June. Tbe bonds for bridge construction will be a serial issue of 20 years' duration, bearing 4 Vt per cent interest. Radio Ilill .

The above from the Portland Journal of Sunday shows a tendency in the right direction- . ' But it is only a small beginning s2?he editor of The Statesman has long believed that 'all t persons engaged in law enforcement should be trained 10ipundecl Irk criminology and penology TjAnd that our institutions of higher learning should all teach;- these branches. They have in charge the most im- portaTit work in r''the whole nation: in the whole world. ;-V There should be no dumbbells anywhere up the line, from the pbUce? officer to the men who sit in judgment on the highest tribunals And in charge of all jails, prisons and other institutions . having to do with the keeping and training of men accused " or convicted of law breaking. The cost of law enforcement might be made small in com parison to what it is now, and the number of convictions for crime reduced amazingly, by a force of educated and trained men understanding penology and criminology : : : ' And this would besides be a consummation that would within several generations all but stamp out the race of con ' firmed criminals and help in raising the average standards of honesty and decency as nothing else could possibly do. f . Note that the writer did not say natural criminals. There : are almost none. Criminals are almost always made, not - bom made by their enevironment and.. their treatment after "having been accused or convicted of . crime. : . y Every high class student of penology In this country will agree with the above statements. ' ' f - ?-'''''"! '" 5; V ,VILL HELP OUR POULTRY BOOM i Leading poultry, magazines are predicting "a shortage of eggs this fall and winter as a result ofithe cutting off of 3,500,000 cases (7,000 carloads) of, Chinese eggs .this season as a result of the Oriental war. r Another factor .which will to a considerable degree affect the supply of eggs is thie series of -destructive floods throughout the Mississippi valley. Re- ports, from St Louis and .Chicago tell of greatly1 reduced deliveries of eggs already. The probabilities are that, eggs will reach top market prices this fall and winter. This will help the poultry boom in the Salem district; a boom thatis already doing very well ' j r " i ' With an estimated 25 per cent increase in poultry products , for this year over last. ; . ; .

Vidalia and iFer riday were in the line of the Miss issippi, but strenuous efforts were being made to throw up tempor ary dikes around these towns In order to save them. The flood from Ouachita river began moving slowly in Monroe and West Monroe in Ouachita par ish and large forces of men, boys and girls were engaged In topping the levees there in hope , of , pro tecting the greater portions of the two cities, whose combined popu lation is about 30.000. . Warning Issued The weather bureau here gave warning that the flood waters from crevasses in the west bank of the river below Vidalia were moving southwaid-toward the Red river and also spreading north ward and, westward.
