THE SALEM
The Salem Y. M. C. A. directors and a few outside men
in an advisory capacity, including Harry Stone, general sec
retary of the Portland Y; M. C. A., spent several hours in
conference last evening, listening to reports of activities and
planned activities, and engaging in a discussion concerning
the work of this institution for the coming year

years or more of the future.
The work of this institution touches every resident of
Salem, and of this whole district, and projects itself into
much wider fields
JAnd it is outstanding as compared with similar work
fi whnlA country. It is abreast of the times:

up to date, and in some particulars it is a jump ahead of the
plans of the national leader?, it is aireaay doing some worm
While things that are only, in the future plans of the national
leaders." '
f-"V It was thought, when the new building of the Salem Y
was being planned, and the campaign was on for funds to
carry out the project, that its facilities would be ample for
this city and section for a considerable time in the future
But they are already employed to the limit, and the room
is taken a good deal of the time to the last square foot of
space
-,, And the rooms of the dormitory are all filled, with the
.necessity of being obliged each day to turn away some ap
plicants. The room rent there for last month was $637.10,
the high water mark.
, , If the present staff of of ficers is to be retained, with
out check upon its vision of usefulness to the community,
more-room Will have to be planned, and additional facilities.
f mis is a nign compliment. f

is, now fully occupied. This was the testimony of Harry
Stone last evening. This is complimentary Ho both Salem

LOOKING AHEAD 73 YEARS
Dean Inge, known to the headline writers as England's
"crlnnmv rlean ' nrpdirts thf decav of Euroue bv 2000 A. D.

By that time, he says, a federation of the Latin-American
republics and the United States will comprise the two great
world powers, while Europe will be relatively unimportant,
with the possible exception of Russia.
; Austria and Germany, he thinks, will unite to form a
' buffer state whose function will ,be to prevent western
; Europe from being overrun by the Slavs.
Commenting on the prediction of Dean Inge, the Eugene
T Register says in part: "The pages of history prove to us that

the empire of Persia arose. The Persian suit set, and the
.mnirof Alexander succeeded 'the emnire of Darius. Alex -
' ander drank himself into the grave and the Roman empire
arose, being preceded by the Roman republic, which really
x was never .much of a .repubUc. as we know republics today.
"Rome declined and fell, as Gibbon i tells us at length in his
great work, and western Europe climbed to world suprem
acy upon the ruins.' 'As Itn interlude iri the story, Genghis
Khan achieved a place in the

That is not a very far look, ahead. It is only 73 years

was in Mesopotamia, on the Nile or in Persia, or in Greece

.And ideals are not faf behind. The world is one com

and cheaper in its operation, and would accomplish 'the same
thing. A check against over production pf any major crop
is proposed in the making of the debenture smaller, vjrith in
creasing production. ! There are a number of substitutes proi
posed for the McNary-Haugen idea; but they all eome-'to the
same thing in different ways. The fact is that the McNary
Haugen bill was changed very little while in its progress in
both sessions of congress; in the one in which it failed and
the one by which it was passed, and vetoed by the president.
In some form or other, it is reasonably certain that the idea
will be adopted, possibly by the next congress. It is the only
workable idea that is certain to give farm relief And an
increasing sentiment is evident that farm relief is needed for
the continued prosperity, of ithe whole country. ;:y?Vi.$i

THE CHARACTERS
Helen, an ancient lady with mod
ern ideas.
Menelaos. her husband while she
stayed at home.
Hermione. her daughter and seT
erest critic.
Orestes, her nephew young en
ough to have ambitions.
Eteoneus, gate-keeper by calling;
philosopher by instinct; moral
ist by observation.
Adraste. handmaiden and friend
to Helen; scandal to 'most ev
erybody else.
Charitas. the lady next door.
Damastor, a boy who strayed from
the family door-step.
"I suppose you think a woman
is happy, perhaps even deeply com
plimented, if one of your precious
sex makes love to her, and be
trays here, and deserts her," said
Hermione.
"I'suppose they generally don't
like to be deserted," said Eteon
eus "that is, so long as they like
the man; when they grow tired of
him, he can't desert too soon. But
generally, aa I said, you women
like attention. As to the other
parts of the tragedy you sketch,
it's all bosh, Hermione. Women
aren't seduced. I know what I'm
j talking bout. They want the men
land the men want them. They
ku n.v,... A v. .
both get what they want, and as
far as I can see, the men get the
worst of it. You can't tell me
much about women."
"You've never been, married, I
believe," said Hermione.
"Do you interpret that fact to
mean I don't know anything about
women?" said Eteoneus. "It's the
proof of my wisdom. The fact is,
Hermione, I belong to the older
and tougher generation which you
despise; my manners before age
' reduced me to gate-keeping were
iquite correct by the standards of
our time, but they would seem to

THIRD EPISODE
The great war comes on. The United States
is drawn into the conflict France is aflame.
The . marines are' in j France to' join the French
in the battle against the Germans. And among
the first oT the marines to arrive "Is accompany
,wlta CapU Flagg In command, i Tes, the same
Flagg of the Peking and ' Manna Incidents;

snouiaers an i-. u ps t an dj n g.
You misunderstood me; I avoid
marriage."
"Oh!" said Hermione.
"I'm sorry to say there are still a
number of men who lead that sort
of "life."
"Yes, a number of men," said J
Eteoneus, "and several women in
your family."
"Don't you think it's wrong?"
said Hermione. "I always sup
posed you didn't approve of my
mother's conduct."
"Certainly not," said Eteoneus.
"All irregularities should be pun
ished, if society is to last, but it's
natural to do it, after all. I tell
you. Hermione, your mother's run
ning away didn't surprise me I
much. What got me was your fa
ther's forgiving her."
"You don't mean you would
have had my father kUl her?"
"Well, that kind oC thing has
been done," said Eteouieus. "Of
course it is embarrassing to dis
cuss the theory specifically with
jtur mother here." ;
"See here, Eteoneus yo'
wouldn't have Orestes or my far,
ther kill Clytemnestra?" "
'Certainly not Orestes; thai
would be impious, to kill his own
mother. It it were his wife, that
would be another thing. AgmemJ
non ought to have' fiilled her.
That was his mistake. She was
faithless." : ;
"How about the men who are
fi:it hless?" said Hermione. "Ya
ioness to having led what t.
should call a bad and cruef lif,e.,
end you never reformed; you sim;
ply became too old to misbehav.
Why wouldn't It have been proper
for some woman whom you haft
deserted to kill von?
This faithj
all on one
fulness shouldn't be

"That was Clytemnestra's idea'
said Eteoneus. "That woman is
Miangely modern, considering her
age."
"Age" said Hermione. "You

"Helen's not at home, . said
Eteoneus. . "Is there a message
you'd like to leave for her?" .
Not at home!" said Charitas.
"15 she ever at home? She hasn't
been in once when I've called. I
must. say it looks rather pointed.
Your mistress doesn't treat her
old friends at all well."
"She'll be, sorry to hear you
think so said Eteoneus. "I'll give
Ijr 'yonr message as soon as' she
comes in."'
"Do nothing of the kind! I have
the highest regard for her, or I
should not be here. The news
about poor Agamemnon Just
reached us, and I want to show
ther there was no change in my
attitude, no matter what happened
in her family. At such a time she
ought to be at home, one ,would
! tninK. i suppose sne has got a
i.sort of habit of being away. .. Do
you notice that about her?
I suppose the family sides with
Agamemnon?"
"Well, Agamemnon's dead,"
said Eteoneus. "I don't know what
you mean by siding with him."
"Why, he and Clytemnestra
quarreled, didn't they?"
. VI - never heard that they ex
changed a single unpleasant
pord," said Eteoneus. "A man can
fiie you know, without quarrel
iflg with his wife." .'if,
"You know what.t.Bleaja rCly-
temnestra was unfafthntlto- hfm."
"Oh, that!" said.Eteoaeus. "Yes,
I know about that, but ! doubt If
he did. His death was so sudden,
she probably didn't have time to.
tell him."
"He must have known!" said
Charitas. "W4iat I heard was
that he tried to kill her, and quite
right too, but she called so loud,
Aegisthus came to the rescue, and
together they managed to murder;
Agamemnon."
"That's quite a story, if it were
only true,'" said Eteoneus.
"I hoped to get the facts from
Helen," said Eteoneus:
"As soon as she comes in," said
Eteoneus, "I'll tell her you want
to know whether Agamemnon
tried to kill her sister first, or
whether her sister just up and
killed Agamemnon." "
"Oh, is that the way it hap
pened? I hadn't heard that ver
sion. . . . Eteoneus, don't
you think Menelaos and his broth
er had queer notions about their
wives? That they were strangely
gullible, that's what I mean. You
seen to think, and I'm sure no one
knows! better than you do, that
Agamemnon came home unsus
pecting. The idea!" v
"Oh, there's nothing to wonder
'at; wives and husbands really
know Ittle about each other when
they're at home, and they lose
track completely when one of
them's away. You, for instance,
don't know whether your hus
band's faithful to you."
"How dare you, Eteoneus! I
s'lall speak to Menelaos you have
forgotten your place. My hus
band is altogether faithful."
"I'm ready to believe he is,"
said Eteoneus. "I certainly don't
want you to go home and murder
him because of my remark. Of
course he's faithful. I was only
pointing out that you don't know
whether he is or not,"
"I don't know why I talk to
yon, Eteoneus you are discourt
eous and presuming.
Ohj perhaps you can tell me
what sort of person is this Ad
raste. who goes around with
Helen?"

a general afvorite, even with us
old folks. - Your son thinks well
of her- ho eould give you a more
ii.timate account of her than I
ran." -;
'You tell me the wbrst! That's
what I feared. I'm sure she'll get
him into trouble." said Charitas.
I've seen a good deal of wick
edness in my'time,' said Eteoneus,
but I don't k now. enough -about
deviltry to understand Jiow that
girl could get your 5 bor into
trouble. It I were -responsible
for her, I mightXeacxou.ljQy, but
she can't do him any harm."
"Yes, she can. said Charitas,
"she can ruin his career- she can
mam him.
"There's something in that,"
s&id Eteoneus, "and yet, marriage
isn't necessarily fatal. He'll take
after his father" and be a docile
husband."
"You speak as though the
whole affair were settled."
"The gossip around the house
is that they consider themselves
nan and wife, and when two
young people in love begin to feel
that way toward each other, it's
piactically settled." " i
"Do your mean they are living
together now?"
"I couldn't prove it." said Et
eoneus, "but that's what I think,
and we all approve that is, we
feel that Damastor has won him
:a use. wire.
f "He has, has he? You do, do
you 7 sne'U never lay eyes on
him again! I'U send that boy to a
safe place till he's cured. I knew
ftom the first what would happen
if Helen were allowed to do as she
chose! Of all the wicked things
to entice such a boy into a house
like this!
"See here, that's strong talk,
if you know what you're saying!"
said Eteoneus. "Nobody enticed
your son over here. And it seems
to me you'll do a pretty mean
thing if you separate them now.
The boy made love to her and won
her, and perhaps it's just the time
when he shouldn't desert her. It
wouldn't ,be decent of him."
"The airs you people put on in
this house, talking to me of de
cency!" said Charitas.
"This house is all it should be
now. I'm too old-fashioned to
like what happened a while back,
but I'll stand by the house, in all
the essentials. If you take that
boy awayj now, I'll say you're the
meanest woman I've met in a long
life, and I've met all kinds!"
"This time you've gone too far,"
said Charitas. "When my hus
band hears how you've spoken to
rre, he will have a word with
Menelaos." . .
"He will if I let him in," said
Eteoneus, "or he can ( learn from
his son how to sneak in the back
vty, through the servants' quar
ters!" (To Be Continued)
