The proposed tentative plan for Salem seems good But in one respect its strength is its weakness. That is, its strength in proposing a small number (five) councilmen will make it weak before the people of the city, especially m. . m . a a a a a j A ? a ? A in the outlying districts, .wnen it comes to voting xor its adoption. ! . - Would it not be better to make the number larger For the sake of expediency; to get the thing over? Would it not be better, too, to put off the voting until the November election, if there is any doubt about the legality of a vote to be taken at the May election? Salem should have a city manager plan, the writer be lieves. But it would be wasted effort to put a plan up to the people that they would vote down, as they have voted down the proposal two or three times before, submitted in UUlAVU. afcVSJ. AAA a If we cannot get a city manager charter with five council men elected at large, would it not be better to get one witl 14 or more councilmen elected in the wards; perhaps with the idea of reducing the number and the form of election at a later time? THE TRUTH, AND By this time, the reader is outing system which it lis Salem United States Indian There is printed in the news morning a review of the history of the beginnings of tht system at the Carlisle, Pa., Indian school, the first institu tion of its kind established in the United States, the Chem awa school being the second, and consequently now the old est, the Caurlisle school having been discontinued. The de velopment of the outing system makes an interesting story It is certain to be an interesting experiment for the Chem awa school. In this connection, there is a paragraph frorr the announcement of the beginning of the experiment here . printed in the Chemawa American, the official school paper as follows: "It has been said that the outing system will not succeet in the west as it did at Carlisle because of the lack of tha, intelligent, sympathetic interest so generally manifester toward the Indian by the cultured people of the east. Thi; may be true as to some portions of the west, but it ought not to be true of the Willamette valley. Here is a large, thickly settled, prosperous country with a historic backgrount -"'which would seem to favor such an experiment. The peopk pride themselves on their ancestry their culture and in theii desire to' contribute to the advancement of social justice and the higher civilization. Throughout this valley frorr: Portland on the north to Eugene on the south a distance ol 125 miles are located numerous towns, villages and smal. farms. There should be a demand for helpers in many oi the better homes and on these intensively cultivated little farms. In due time Chemawa should have two or three hundred of its students living in these homes throughout the year and attending the public schools and earning their own ways. The idea is that Chemawa will gather in these Indian boys and girls from the reservations train them and then place them out in homes, shops, factories and on farm? where they will continue their education and training and learn to become self supporting citizens. The dominant aim is education and practical training under wholesome influ ences and surroundings." The above is complimentary to the people of the Willam ette valley And the writer believes it is justified; believes the outing system for the Chemawa school will be a great success ; will help materially in solving the Indian problems of this terri tory, and will be of great benefit to the people of this sec tion. Aria it may conceivably take a great deal larger scope than is indicated in the above quoted paragraph Including the children of Alaska. - For the benefit of our airport fans, this is interesting, from the Eugene Register: "The people of Roseburg, by a vote of better than two to one, 000 for the purchase and equipment of an airport which is 4to be the equal of any field in the Pacific northwest If the Southern Pacific railroad should ask the people of Roseburg to provide a station and yards for the free use of the rail t road company, the answer would be a scornful 'No; what do you think we are!; The same stage people if they should ask member that in the early days of railroading the railroads asked and received large subsidies from the public. Before the time of the railroads, the public built and equipped can als for use, practically free, by the canal boats. The motor stage companies have received similar subsidies in the form of fine highways, built with public money, which they are permitted to use .at comparatively little cost. The public is keenly interested in all new forma of transportation, because it realizes that transportation and business development go Statesman IKatpa W. H. . A. ur r Retok H. Klatatag.

AtmodfVH SOtS SWEETHpU READ THIS FIRST: Lynda Penton, a singularly in nocent girl, is private secretary to Kaiph Armltage. Her lather, a drunkard, tells her that her moth er deserted them, and that all women hare their price. ' Lynda meets Emily Andrews, who cherishes a secret fondness for Da rid Ken more, Lynda's com panion from childhood. Emily plots against Lynda from the very beginning. David tells Lynda he loves her, but she decides she doesn't want to be in love with any man. David is away on a trip. Lynda's father, too, deserts her, and Claire Stanhope comes to live with her. Claire tells of Innocent love for Fred Blaque, a married man. Lynda comes horn one day to find Fred in the house, and hears Claire entreating him to stay away. Lynda receives an Invitation to Jnne Challer's big party, and is enthused, but is sorry that Claire has not been Invited. NOW GO ON WJTI1 THE STORY aaa Chapter 24 Ralph Has an Accident "I think I, too, will go to June Challer's party." said Claire to Lynda, when she came home the next evening. "June came part of the way home with me tonight. and she wants me to come to her party, but she's not going to in vlte Fred. I think I'll go. "We will take the sleeves out 3f your white dress tonight, after we have had dinner, and fix it up. I'll put some potatoes in the oven; to bake; we will have some lettuce wilted with bacon, a dish of straw berries, and then get to work." Before they went to bed, Lyn da's dress was all ready, and it was very sweet and dainty. "It suits you down to the ground." Claire remarked, admir ingly. "Not quite down to the ground. my dear. In fact, it hardly comes below my knees," laughed Lynda She was rewarded for this little speech, by seeing Claire smile for the first time since Fred Blaque 'eft the house. Claire brought out her pink :hlffon and laid it on the bed. It would be taken to the cleaner's the next morning. "I'm very sorry." said Lynda "that I said anything about Emily. You know, I called her a little cat. She was very nice to me today She wanted me to buy a beautiful scarlet chiffon drees, but I could aot see it on me." "Neither could she," said Claire. 'If she had, she would not have ecommended it. I wonder what .hat girl is up to now 7 Be care "ul, Lyn. She Is clever, mighty :lever." Lynda Fenton would have i greed to that, could she have een Emily at that moment. She jad just finished a letter to David Xenmore, in which she said: 'My dear David: "I am writing to ask you to be ure to get home for June Chal er's party next week. Your little pal, Lynda, has been invited, and 13 Bhe knows so few men in our Tovd, I'm afraid it will be rather itupid for her. She tells me this will be her first party, and you would not want her to be disap pointed, would you? If you come, don't tell her I wrote you this. Pleasant surprises are always meet, you know. David, old dear, ( must confess to you that I am irery fond of Lynda, and I want ier to have a good time. She eems to have had so few, with that old reprobate of a father. "EMILY." She .read the letter with great ?are before sending it to David Kenmore. Then she gave a sigh -)t satisfaction. "After he reads that." she said to herself, "he will not suspect me of writing this." She slipped a sheet of paper into an old machine, that she had used when she was learning stenog raphy, and typed: "This is to warn you that Ralph Armitage is rushing your girl to beat the band. A word to the wise, etc." "These two letters will brine him. she said to herself, "and he'll not tell Lyn he is coming. either. If I can bring him unon Lynda when Ralph Armitage is making love to her, it is good-bye, Davie, as far as she is concerned." She mailed the letter she had signed In the mailbox in front of her boarding house, and the anonymous one down town, on her way to the office. The next morning, while they were having their coffee on the kitchen table, and the sun was shining in through the window. Claire said:, "Lyn. I'm afraid." "Afraid of what? "Well, all this seems too good to De true, i never naa such a good home In all my life as I am having now. I don't believe I ever have been really contented, either." "In spite , of Mr. Fred Blaque Claire.' you are happy. Yon know told yon things, wonld look dif ferent In the morning.". i "In spite of him. and all of the rest of the men I know," said Claire. "Falling In love. Lyn. Is very thrlUlng. But I don't care very much for that 'divine unrest' stuff, of which the poet warbles. I think once will be enough for me." K ' f I Jl 111 STATESMAN. SALEM. OREGON. SUNDAY MORNING. - ittiaA 1 v 0FAW1FE, As she passed through the outer office, the next morning, Lynda was stopped by the girl at the tel ephone switch board. - "Mr. Armitage. senior, wiahes you to come to his room, Miss Fen ton." She walked to the door of the private office of the senior partner of Armitage &. Son, wondering wnat me oia doss, as ne was called among the girls, wanted of her. "Perhaps, he wants' to look me over, to make sure that I will not hurt his 'little boy'," she thought The Idea amused her, and she was smiling as she tapped on the door. "You wanted to see me, Mr ArmltageT" The sternlooking, middle-aged man who had been standing by the window, and who evidently had not heard her come in, whirled around and bent inquiring eyes upon her. "Are you Miss Fenton?" "Yes, Mr. Armitage. I knocked, but you did not hear me." "My son had a slight automobile accident yesterday. Miss Fenton." As he said this, a peculiar expres sion of blended horror and pride flitted across Mr. Armltage's ser ious face. "And he will not be able to come down to the office to day. He asked me to tell you to go through everything in his mail, except that which Is marked 'Per sonal.' and answer as much of It as possible. He said that you would know that form letters seven and eight must be signed, addressed, and sent out today to the list of names he gave you yes terday. If you will bring his per sonal mail to my office. I will take It out to him tonight." (To be Continued.) STORYWia PLEftSE Tony Sarg To Present Wooden-Headed Ones At Capitol Wednesday Tony Sarg. celebrated magaxlne Illustrator and Marionette impre sario, will present his little wood en-headed actors in a dramatlza tion of "All Baba and the Forty Thieves" at the Brigh's Capitol theater on Wednesday, April 4. This well-known story from the "Arabian Nights" lends Itself ex ceptionally well to puppet presen tation. Mr. Sarg and his corps of skilled mechanics and highly trained "puppeteers" have labored ceaselessly for the past six months to make the new show even more wonderful and Interesting then the earlier plays, "Rip Van Winkle." "Don Quixote" and "Treasure Island." that have tour ed the country from coast to coast so successfully during the past four or five seasons. "All Baba and the Forty Thieves" Is the last word, as it were, in Marionette achievement. Ir. Sarg has created the most vil lainous set of robbers ever seen on tne stage, an extensive me nagerie of donkeys, lions, camels, sheep, dogs and even snakes, who all play Important parts In the unfolding of the story. Among the animals, a beautiful white ele phant, performs some true amaz ing feats. The GenI and the Fish erman. Sinbad and Sailor, and all the characters recorded In the Arabian 'Nights have been faith fully reproduced on the fascinat ing little Marionette stage. All the stage settings, as well as the "props" for the different scenes, are constructed to scale with truly amazing artistry. , Marionettes are one of the old est forms of theatrical art. They date back In church and secular history beyond the Middle Ages when they were popular particu larly in connection with religious celebrations. Tony Sarg Is largely responsible for the revival of this art In the United States. At first developed by him purely as a hob by to afford a relief for him from his more serious work as Illustrat or for "The Saturday Evening Post" and other magaslnes. they have grown to such popularity as an entertainment feature that a coast to coast tour haa been in order every season. . Their Tlslt here on Wednesday is looked for ward to with deep interest by local theater-lovers. - special children's matinee will be at 4 p. m. Presbyterian Sunday School To Move Early The officers and members - of the Sunday school of the First Presbyterian church are pleased to know that they wUI be able to move Into their new educational building on the Slat of April, two weeks earlier than previously plan ned.

Hearty co-operation ia being giv en those in charge of working out future plana of this splendid or ARABIAN NIGHTS ganization. First Christian Church Gospel Services Popular The Gospel services being held nightly at the First Christian church are attracting the largest audiences that the church has seen for several years and the interest being manifested in the plain positive preaching by the pastor shows that the gospel 'has lost, none of. its power and that just as of the old. when Christ ia preached in simplic ity and power and men are called to forsake the paths of sin and turn to Him alone who can lift man from his fallen estate, that there is a response manifest ed In human hearts and many have not only come Into the fellowship of the church, but a large number have accept ed Christ as a per sonal savior. The coming week the special services, wUI be the last of which begin nightly at 7:30 and are I- i 7 "t 1 r opened with spiritual congregational singing of the old the leadership of Mr. Burley of music and how to get an audience, to sing, but has a fine tenor voice, which is attracting many to the services. One of the features of the services Is the question box, where perplexities may have them answered each evening, and those of the past week have proved the wide people. 8unday undoubtedly will prove caxnpagin with three great services, the afternoon service, which will be for men only, opening at Men of America for The Man of Galilee" will be delivered by the pastor, D. J. Howe. The regular evening and morning services will be held, at both of which Mr. Burley will sing two request numbers, "The Heart That Was Broken for Me" and "The Old Fountain." A hearty, welcome Is extended to all to attend. HERBERT HOOVER'S SEVEN U. S. BUSINESS PILGRIMAGES (This is the fifth installment of an article appearing in the April Magazine of business, in which Robert R. Updegraff tells of the little known "middle 15 years" of Herbert Hoover's life.) At another time China "paged" the American mining engineer who was doing remarkable things with American men and methods and machinery in far-off Australia. Returning to his San Francisco office for a breathing spell (and taking the opportunity while back home to get married ),. Hoover set out presently for China on another American business pilgrimage. His first job was one of explo ration tor coal and iron with the hope that steel could be manufac tured In North China and this at the behest of the Chinese govern ment. But the Boxer disturbances soon brought these explorations to an end and no one had benefited much except that Hoover had had a considerable experience with long journeys Into the Interior fol lowing up rumored iron deposits, none of which existed in any com mercial quantity. After the Boxer disturbances he was again sent to China as the chief engineer of the Chinese En gineering and Mining company, a reorganized bankrupt company. Here the first job was to under take tha building of a port on the Gulf of Chihll where timber and supplies could be landed from overseas and coal could be dis patched. Thus at Hoover's orig inal engineering direction grew up what is now the port of Chlng Wan Tow. This port has an interest to the American exporter for it made possible the shipment from that day to this of vast quantities of lumber from Puget Sound into North China. The difficulties of loading and reloading Into light draft vessels to get over the bars at. the other ports In North China had practically prevented this trade. All these. Journeys greatly pro fited Hoover. As he traveled far back Into the interior of Man churia, Mongolia, Shantung,' and Shansi, by pack-horse or on sleepy Chinese canals In native canal boats, he was learning much of geography and even more of hu man nature. And he was- carry ing American ideas and standards Into sections of the World that had perhaps never before seen a white man and making friends wher ever he went. Indeed, the outstanding fact about this pilgrimage, as about most of the others. Is that Hoover and his crew of engineers and mine superintendents had to make good with their American meth ods, wherever they pitched camp, against traditions and. racial pre- Salem Girl In Charge of Envelope Sales At U. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, March SI. (Special.) Grade envelopes, which were sold for the first time at the University of Oregon at tha close of last winter term, netted 137.50 for the benefit fond of tha new student infirmary to be erected 'on ' the campus.

Hoover's seven business pilgrim ages offer the most convincing evidence of the world's respect for American enterprise, when admin istered with tact and common sense. Not-that Hoover and his fellow engineers did not on many, occa sions humor the whims of the peoples with whom they . were working, for they did.

Cliff Edwards, better known as "Ukelele Ike," oi pnono- rraDh record fame, comes to the Eteinore today for a two aays en gagement. His program wm con tain many of the crooning melo dies that have made his name the outstanding" 'best seller or an phonograph recording stars of the world. Ranging from the most discord ant to the most symphonic music, j his unique warbilngs and weird accompaniments possess an al most irresistible appeal which is decidedly Individual. Edwards to day stands supreme In the art of strumming a ukelele and singing weird rhythm chants. . Ukelele Ike has just signed a contract to make Columbia rec ords exclusively under an arrange ment that calls for an advance of 12000 per record and a royalty which, figured on the basis of his record sales of the past two years should make him the highest paid recording artist in the world. Dur ing the past few years he has made over 40Tecords which total over several millions In sales for various recording companies. His appearance at the Elslnore theater Is no small event and from aU advance reports the Fanchon and Marco "Idea" which he heada will be one of the finest seen here in many moons.
