Harris of Eugene has consented, on the " -suggestion of the Portland Oregonian, to head a committee , to make an investigation of. the : charges recently made ' ?against Ch;ef Justice j Rand of the supreme court by George ' W. Joseph; state senator and Portland attorney . ' And Judge Harris has announced that he will today name the other members of the committee of investigation. . The writer believes that the investigation xwill disclose the fact that Chief Justice Rand is absolutely free from any blameworthy attitude or conduct either in his personal rela tions or in the administering of the duties of his high office in the case in which he was accused of bias byMr. Joseph. : Judge Harris is a man of high ability and unquestioned in- tegrity. No doubt the, members of the committee he will name - to aid in the investigation will be men of the same stamp. ' The findings of such a committee should be conclusive, and their announcement should be forthcoming at the earliest possible date, because of the short time before the primaries, in which Chief Justice Rand is a candidate for renomination. THE REDWOOD EMPIRE CARAVAN commonwealths a single and community interest. The people back of the Redwood Highway Empire caravan are stressing the importance of all the communities up and down the coast, from Vancouver to San Diego, putting togeth er for the building up of the whole country facing the Pacific. The Redwood highway is a great scenic asset4- And the spirit of the caravan is that its benefits are to be shared all up and down the coast. -' There can be no doubt of the great benefits in the way of cooperation and good will spirit that will result from this rnajor effort on the part of our California neighbors. NATIONAL EGG WEEK The Redwood Empire caravan, entertained in Salem last evening, is a good will organization It nronoses tn wirje out the state line hetween Orecon and la progressive public school system California, in the sense of making the interests of the t?' LtTodu" danlon nel courses of study along the lines of manual training. The industrial mnmnt at Salem has been a growth from actual needs. There has been no effort to pick out some other city, and boldly pick up and transfer a vocational plan ready made and engraft it upon Salem Am Industrial City This ta. strictly speaking, an ideal American industrial commun ity. There are great manufacturing plants In their several lines, from the raw materials the country pro duces like timber, paper products linen mills, wool and mohair, fruit products and others. The canneries employ great bodies of family, la bor in their. packing plant and fn the fields, and there. - are many forms bt labor, -where men, women. young people and children: are em ployed. Fitting into, this highly prosperous indoor and oudoor la bor population is this movement for industrial education In the pub lic schools. Salem has a large in vestment in an educational plant of: schools and colleges and busi ness colleges. . music schools, pri vate schools and the training, going on in the industries, wnere tne people work at skilled tiabor. Sa lem Is an industrial -center. For men and women, to be taught trades and avocations is natural as a development. Our city has about three million- dollars invest ed In lands and buildings and equipment for educational purpos es. The upkeep of this property. and the Improvements that should still be made In new buildings and beautifying the grounds and the annual repairs of the plant Itself, can . more and more ' be made in teaching4 trades accurately to the growing' generations and have them preserving it in trust, and the money-expended in this 'way eaa become a. wage, fund for the coming wage earners. Such an in dustrial . system will make Salem the most prosperous Industrial cen ter and the most rapidly growing American educational unit in the west. 'The Salem board of edu cation has set a noble example In carrying out an industrial Ideal where labor U honored with a place in the scheme of community development, where trades are considered honorable and the aristocracy of induetry is the highest type of cititenshlp. come wage earners. This is national egg week. May 1 to 7. The date is so fixed because it is a time when eggs are cheap - n. And the celebration of the week is set apart in order to en courage one of the most important of our industries ; the poultry industry. . - Eggs make an almost perfect food. They contain the need ed minerals for building up the human body And they have the most - important vitamins which - are found in milk and the leaf yvvegetables-- And the yolks of eggs have iron. It is said-thafrtwo eggs a day will supply the iron needed by the human system. The yolks are good for most children; ; they.perf orm the functions of cod liver, oil in the dietary of infants. -" tThe housewife or the chef finds the egg practically indis . Insable in cookery. What woiild they do without eggs? Another important thing: The egg comes in a sealed pack. age, sealed by nature. It comes in a convenient form. It is handy and always ready for its proper uses. All Salem should be concerned in national egg week, be cause we have here a large and growing poultry industry, whvh is of vast benefit to every industry on the land and all the interests of the city. Salem's leadership in the flax industry is most praise worthy, and it is regretable that the.men there have not re- ceived larger financial support from Portland. The leadership by Salem men is of the kind that buikls a statePortland Journal.. "Big business is a little slow in warming up to Jloover." says a magazine writer. "He is independent.

The best minds and most progres sive ecnooi men and -women are convinced that every boy should have industrial education work Capital City leaders in public school organisation have eome to the conclusion, including the city school superintendent and the city school boardjtself.. that character building, morality and personality leading to better citizenship all "require an industrial foundation. " The same is true in the oppo- , site sex, .whlch U star taking an nnusuarV interest - In - domestic science and art.. It Is almost an Imperative ' necessity that girls have training classes in cooking. needlework, dressmaking, cutting and fitting, and planning and de- : signing In millinery, ' Work , and classes for' girls along these ilnes mean better dressea women, skill and good taste in selecting" cloth ing, or ability to make clothing, - that produces " the classy well dressed young woman, matron and homebullder. Industrial work for girls means .sot. only better economic results for- the , individ ual but a tendency away from the lighter, more frivolous and extra vagant tendencies In modern life. City Superintendent Hug and nis several high school faculties and his industrial faculty have discussed these matters at teach era' meetings. They have impress ea xneir idea upon the school board, and it can be safely said that Salem school district No, 3 4 is taking a practical and progres sive stand for working out a com munity sentiment favorable to more Industrial education and to meeting the growing demand for its extension. , Congestion Is no longer found in school room space in the reg ular public school system, but there is congestion at Pariish and at Leslie in the demand for fur ther facilities for students demand in Instruction wood working, and all kinds of wiring, motor car and radio electrical repairs and equipment and at both junior high schools there is need of more space and more Instructors, and demand for additional work In manual training, ; Some'of the old wood working' equipment- needs replacing and there is need for more wood, working tools.

The spectacular Richfield night- flying airplane, with its "Rich field Gas" sign in Neon lights blazing like a comet on the low er wing and lower fuselage, cir cled Salem last night, attracting the attention of thousands. Com ing unheralded, it was one of the most striking outdoor adver tising stunts ever attempted here. The spectacular flight will be made again tonight at 8 to 8:30 It has been estimated that more than five million people on the Pacific coast have already viewed the spectacular Richfield night-flying airplane. For the first time in the history of aeronautics, the Richfield com pany has launched upon a plan whereby" they wijl bring their name before the greatest number of people through exclusive night flvin. 1 the shortest space of time."

Impres8lontslc study of the life, Achievements, and influ ence In the world of music of Franz Peter Schubert, which she gave last night in the Nelson audi torium asj the feature of the Schu bert Centennial program, present ed under; the auspices of the Sa lem MacDowell club. 3 A cycle has almost made its round since Schubert walked the streets of Vienna, yet his spirit is more alive today than it was 100 years ago. This centennial year is a fitting time to proclaim praise and meditate on the life of Schu bert andj to question, "Franz Pe ter Schubert. Why do you Wear the Crown of Immortality?" the subject of Miss Melton's talk. Miss Melton described the pic ture which she has of .the life of this immortal composer. She sees hie life as a reel of film which as It unrolls, shows Franz as a little lad. wearing a crude suit of gray homespn, awkward and embar rassed, yet at the same time, cour teous, affectionate, gentle, and! loving. . i As he grows older, she sees him tramping over the beautiful hills , that surround the still more beau tiful city of Vienna She sees his first meeting with Beethoven whom he Is too bash ful to greet after going to his home, although Franz worships him andT has said, "Than. Ueetho- ven there can be no grater. All through his life, Schubert is composing, always composing. But Vienna sleeps, unheeding the genius who lives within her walls Schubert struggles on In poverty and dies at the early age or 31 leaving nothing but a pile of. man uscripts, valued at, perhaps 115 This is,! briefly, the picture, inai unfolds before the eyes of the lec turer at the mention of this great est noet-musician. ehuhrt'a rreatest aim in lire was to learn to sing, to play, and M a.1 A.

Music to Schubert was a. second mother tongue, i The greatest part of his music. ! unfortunately, only be, himaalfJ heard In his innermost soul as he could not afford enough paper and Ink to write the melo dies, that continually ran mrougn his mind. This immortal artist who was nhvslcally small, being oniy slightly ! over five feet In height. a well nigh faultless in cnar- acter. His life was ewer ana y- somingj although he grew ana spent the few years of his man hood In actual poverty. Every great composer, accord ing to the speaker must love inn ate music which is made up of harmony, rhythm, and melody. Franz Schubert sincerely wor shipped Beethoven although the two musicians who lived in xne same city met DUl w- w first "anniversary of Beethoven s death. Schubert played nis iirsi and last public concert. The only request which Schu-i bert made on his aeatnoea wa that he! be ,burled by Beethoven's side. The request was granted and both now rest In the musi cians' corner of the central ceme tery iniVlenna. Schubert has given us nunareas mmA htmrirnd of sonzs. tne Ave Maria. Hark. Hark, the Lark, and his Serenade, but it is because or the "Qudness from heaven, ana the peace from tne valleys" which he hass given us in melody that Franz Peter Schubert wears tne crown of Immortality. ' This beautiful and Inspirational talk which Miss Melton gave will long be remembered' by the music lovers of Salem who were Jortu nate enough to hear her last night. Assisting; on the program with Schubert compositions was the Schubert octette, with the follow ing personnel: first soprano Eleanor Moore, Eva Roberts; sec ond sopranos Hilda " Amsler, Doris Alleq, Dorothy Brant; first altos Orate Fawk. Arbutus Rudle: second attos Ruth Swart. and Myra Gleadon; which opened the evening's program with "Whither. Their second chorus number was "Hark, Hark, the Lark," beautifully sung, under the direction of Mlee'Minnetta Mag era, who proved herself an emin ently capable conductor. Miss Elva Amsler at the piano assisted in the success of the evening with her able accompaniments. Lawrence Deacon, baritone. sang the lovely number, "Sylvia in an understanding and satisfy ihg manner. 'The Erlklng." Schubert's greatest masterpiece, with tran scription Dy jnranx L.tszt, was played artistically by Miss Bettie Corskie. The first halt of the pro gram concluded with a tremen dous number, "The Unfinished Symphony" tremendously well done. The ensemble featured Helene Price. Edith Findley, Helen Brldgeman, and Genevieve Junk all pianists and members of-the Beethoven society at Willamette university; and Miss Iva Clare Love, violinist. ' ' - - "Ave Maria," without peer as a prayer to the Holy Mother, was beautifully played by Miss Love.
