turns Money Found by Her in Roth's Store
When the public read the above advertisement in the
classified columns of the New Oregon Statesman Sunday it
laughed. A good many readers went so far as to telephone
to this paper asking if it was
jnirthful suggestion . that the
crowned King of the Opti
mists.
"Who," they askecT in de
rision. "would return two
$100 bills if they found
them?"
And yet the $100 bills not only
were found but that the finder
returned them to the New Oregon
Statesman where they await their
owner.
Saturday afternoon C. W. Shel
ley, of Route 9, Salem, had the
misfortune to lose the two $100
bills. He had no idea where he
had dropped them.

An nonest man ntmseir, and a
believer in the honesty of others,
he promptly came to the -office of

Saturday afternoon Mrs. J. L.
McKinney, 1387 North .Church
street, was in Roth's grocery store
making some purchases for Sun.
day's dinner. A little while be
fore she had collected $2 in one-
dollar bills for some work, and
put them in her purse.
wnue standing at the store
counter Mrs. McKinnev felt a
child brush against the hand in
which she held her purse and.
looking down, she saw some bills
on the floor. Thinking she had
dropped her two $1 bills she
picked up the bills and put them
in her purse.
On leaving Roth's Mrs. McKin

Wow Mrs. McKinney is a poor

and her money comes hard. So
It was that when she opened her

There it was. the thing she
sought; an advertisement an

Fourth Anniversary of
First Flight
Graf Zeppelin Fastened to
Mooring Mast After
World Record Trip
naval AIR STATION, Lake
hurst. N. J. Oct. 15 (AP)-rThe
only two dirigibles ever to fly the
rrn from Germany were
brought ' together today when the
Graf Zeppelin, world's largest air
ship, arrived in America, four
years to the day after the navy's
Los Angeles completed the same
Journey.
For three days crowds had been
waiting at the air station to wit
ness the arrival of the greatest
airship afloat, but all except 5.000
or so had given up the vigil when
the ship arrived
Those few thousand, however,
were so eager to see the airship
that they broke " through police
lines and fought for the opportun
ity to touch -the dirigible o"- at
least get close enough to shout
greetings to passengers and crew.
Vessel Appears
Just at Dusk
The Graf Zeppelin appeared
first as a faint smudge low above
the northern horizon. Slowly, as
daylight began to fail, it took
definite form although its met
alled coat remained dim gray in
the dusk. Half again as big as
the Los Angeles, which completed
a similar journey just four years
ago today, the Graf Zeppelin
seemed to swell as it approached
until it blotted out half the' sky.
It showed no lights in the deep
ening gloaming and its idling en
gines were inaudible until it was
above the field.
As day turned Into night the
mammoth ship glided low over the
trees that fringe the air station
and dipped toward the flying field
and the waiting crowd. A turn
of the ship brought a lighted cagin
window into view, striking bright
against the gray sky across which
the airship slipped like an animate
shadow.
Crowd Shouts Its
Welcome to Ship
As the ship dipped earthward
the crowd below raised a wild
shout of greeting and observers
saw some one aboard wave from
the yellow window. Many said
Ihey could see it was a woman,
and if they were right it was Lady
Drummond Hay, a British journ
alist and the only woman on
board.
From the top of a tower near
the field's edge a light winked
the information to Dr. Hugo Eck-
ener, th pilot, that the ground
wina was rrom the west and of
negligible force, and the great
ship suddenly gave its engines
full throttle to dive downward to
a position near the mooring mast.
The roar of the five 550-hrse-power
engines seemed to make
the air vibrate and the slidine
ship in a moment became a gray
arrow shooting through the dark
ness.

Discussing Smith as a states

The government under repub

years has been "the worst mis
managed that the United States

said.
He stressed the long residence
abroad of Herbert Hoover, and
said that in his eight years on the
cabinet, Hoover had contributed
no constructive ideas for the con
duct of public affairs.
Senator Robinson made no men
tion of farm relief, prohibition or
religious intolerance, subjects he
has discussed in other addresses.
He was introduced by Justice Co

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 15.

der of little Marian Parker here
last December, was abandoned to
night by the defense counsel.
Richard Can tlllion,- defense at

tomorrow for an executive order
delaying the execution would be
barren, since California law for
bids the governor to grand com
mutation of sentence on one who
has been twice convicted of a
felony charge.
The law provides that the con

sent of the majority of the mem.

They think of-
Pre'sent Day Manners
As Contrasted with
Old-time courtesy.
RECENTLY a Salem youth
said to. his mother: "Why
is it that Dad always gets up
every time you or any other
woman comes into the rom?"
What her reply was is not ma
terial. The point is, what does
Salem think of the manners of
the present younger generation
as compared to those of its fa
thers and mothers? In order to
get some idea the New Oregon
Statesman put this question to
several persons Saturday. This
is what they said:
A. F. HUTCHINSON, travel
ing salesman, said: "Personally
I do not see any need for the ex
aggerated politeness of the old
day 8. It was a pretty gesture
fc b u bunk . Tne
younger generation is not rude,
in my opinion, but merely more
direct. It does not believe in
shams and goes straight to the
point. When I see anyone with
the old time exaggerated man
ner today I think he is affect
ed." MRS. ALICE H. DODD, house
mother at. the Beta Chi sorority,
said: "Young people today arc
as amenable to the learning of
manners as any generation that
preceded them, when they have
the teaching. The lack is in
the home. A tendency to self
ishness is Bhown in the lack of
Informal hospitality; and that
this tendency is not merely su
perficial, is proven by the fact
that the. young people are less
willing to oblige, less willing to
inconvenience themselves."
MRS. B. G. BACKMAN, who
teaches school at Alsea, Benton
county, said: "Of course there
is little of the old time courtesy
today. , I don't think it can be
expected since women have
gone into business in such
numbers. Men are no longer
so thoughtful as they used to
be. - Women's independenee and
self expression has taken the
place of chivalry. There is, how
ever, pretty general observance
of some of the little social cour
tesies that were in vogue before
woman's new standing came
about."
MRS. RONALD" GLOVER,
635 North Commercial street,
said: "We have commented
frequently on the carelessness
of the majority of the younger
folk. It is so seldom, that a girl
arises when an elderly woman
enters the room, acknowledges
an introduction properly, or
seemingly thinks to offer her
chair. We are fast getting away .
from the 'graceful courtesies of
George Washington's , times . in
our mad rush of the present
day."
REV. F. C. TAYLOR, pastor
of the First Methodist church,
said: "I think nyLnners and
morals go together. True char
acter should always be shown
by politeness and ' courtesy to
others, but that may not mean
the crushing of your hat in a
crowded elevator by 'taking, it
off the head. . Each age and.
generation should have its own
morals." v
MRS. F. C. TAYLOR, wife of
the Methodist pastor, said: "I
don't think that the manners: are

Prominent Philanthropist Dies
as Result of Previous
Operation
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 15. (AP)
jonn a. xeon, roniana cap
italist and patron of goed roads,
died at a hospital here tonight.
He had been ill since Oct. 8, when
he was 'suddenly stricken at his
office here. The same night a ma
jor operation was performed, and
he never fully rallied.
In the space of 21" years Yeon
rose from a common laborer in a
logging camp, working eleven
hours a. day for $1, to a million
aire, and thereafter he devoted
his life to public service.
The outstanding achievement of
Yeon was his supervision of the
construction of the Columbia
highway.
Yeon was born at Plantagenet,
Ont., Canada, on April 24, 1865.
and received his education in the
school of 'that village. His boy
hood ambition, he said, was to
come to the United States, where
he imagined, as he said, that "$20
gold pieces grew 6n bushes."
He learned English in a night
school at Defiance, O.. after he
had worked eleven hours a day-
the prevailing hours in logging
camps In those days.
With $2.50 in his pocket, he
arrived in Oregon in 1885 and
hired out at a logging camp near
Cathlamet. Wash., such was his
start on the road to wealth and
prominence. When he retired from
the lumber business he1 was em-
Dloyinc.250 men and had made
a large iortune.

Bourbon Promise to Leave
Tariff Alone is Viewed
With Suspicion
Al's Campaign Promises not
Taken at Face Value
by Republican
By W. B. RAGSDALR
Associated lress Staff Writer
BOSTON. Oct. 15. (AP)
Carrying his campaign into the
heart of industrial New England.
Herbert Hoover tonight laid be
fore the people of a democratic
metropolitan stronghold an attaek
unon the tariff principle laid ,
down in the platform of the dem
ocratic party.
Addressing the country gener
ally over a natton-wiae raaio
hookup, the republican presiden
tial candidate couched his criti
cism in strong terms. He de
clared that revision of tariff da
ties to the democratic platfown
standard of "effective competi
tion" would mean such a lower
ing of the tariff walls that Ameri
can wages and farm prices would
be depressed.
Four Speeches Made
On Way to Boston
The candidate spoke in Vfee
arena here after a day of str-
uous campaigning that carried
him across the breadth of she
state and saw him deliver four
speeches more than he has made
in any of his previous Jaunts dar
ing his drive for the presidency:
Every seat in the huge areata
was, taken before the nominee
made his appearance on the plat
form and his entrance brought
burst of applause" hat sent echoes
chasing about the steel raft era ot
the huge structure.
Launching into his speech, the
candidate first discussed foreitta
trade and its importance to the
country generally. Then A
turned to the tariff and finally
the merchant marine. The thsee
phases of his subject apparently
struck close home to the New
Englanderg and he waa applaud
ed with enthusiasm.
