SINGING, Girl Reserves, pon

other topics that indicate the

thought are presented in brief
style today in Tabloid Inter

to the column today is the first
of what may prove to be an in
teresting series oti'Pet Peeves,"
wherein may be found an ex
cellent place to unburden com
plaint at particularly irritating
' things.
CHARLES FESSENDEN. for
mer state commander of the
Sons of ' Veterans, said : " We
have Just organised a male oc
tette in our local camp, and are
' planning to gire programs
-with it. A male quartet has
been a feature of our organiza
tion, and a very popular feature
at that. We expect that our
octette will be Just as popular.
I think it is unusual for an or
ganization of our size to have
so many good men's voices that
blend so well. Lots of other
bodies have fine singers,'. but
they seem to lack the harmony
when singing together that bar
bunch has. I'm mighty proud
of our men, and I think that
their singing is one of the big
gest advertisements our local
Sons of Veterans can have."
MRS. GEORGE MOORHEAD.
chairman of the Girls work
committee of the Y. W. C. A.,
said: "I wonder if Salem people
realize what a fine organization
the Girl Reserves are. They
have one unique feature which
no other girls' organization
possesses the feature of con
structive initiative by the girls
under adult guidance. The ad
visors,' of .the Girl Reaarve group
are exactly what if fir name is
. . . 'advisors.' The girls plan
their own projects, create their
own programs, and are their
own leaders. It Is a wonderful
thing to develop not only initi
ative in girls, but also depend
ability, reliability and the pow
er to carry their own ideas
through to completion."
TOM GOLDEN, of the local
ambulance service, observed:
"It may look like the fog would
be responsible for more acci
dents than usual, but not a sin
gle emergency call has come in
from Salem during the entire
week of fog."

The gale which buffeted the Brit

the waters from the western
coast of Ireland to beyond the
Danish peninsula, was still blow

The air ministry, in a survey of
prospects, warned that more

and predicted that cold weather

Ireland, England, Scotland and
Wales all experienced the de

and for every new subscriber I get a pound of turkey. It Just
takes a little brain work and a few hours of time."
The .boy earned his 10-pound Thanksgiving turkey In less
than two hours. Things were coming so well for him that by
the next day he claimed another bird, weighing 12 pounds. Sat
urday night he was back with orders enough for an even bigger
bird.

SOFIA. Bulgaria, Nov. 24.
(AP) The European powers to
day Intervened in the critical sit

continued bloody Macedonian
feuds. Great Britain and France
were reported to have Jointly de
manded cessation of the strife, as
not only menacing Bulgaria but
jeopardizing the peace of the Bal

while not attempting to disparage
the gravity of the situation, re
plied that the government had suf

Michailoff, but that It was most
difficult to capture him and his

confronted with danger, flee to in

Buroff declared that while reg

give the revolutionary leader a
last chance to capitulate before
giving the order to engage him in
battle.
The government dispatched a
peremptory demand to Michailoff
this afternoon, saying that the
sanguinary feuds must cease im
mediately or he and his Partisans
will be captured.
Undaunted, the Macedonian
chieftain hurled back the defiant

THREE YOUTHS HELD
Three youths said to be from
Tacoma, Wash., were arrested in
Salem Saturday night, charged
with three burglaries committed
in West Salem the night before.
They are E. A. Coberly, 19; Ray
Hunt, 18. and Mike Burt. 21.
They are being held in the Polk
county Jail at Dallas.
The evidence pointing to these'
transients as the burglars is cir
cumstantial, consisting principally
in the finding of an empty purse
taken from one of the houses,
near their automobile. However;
fingerprints were found in one of
the houses entered, and they will
be compared with the fingerprints
of the suspects.
The youths, according to the
claims of West Salem officers,
were traveling In a Chevrolet se
dan stolen at Tacoma, carrying the
license plates of a machine belong
ing to Coberly. Saturday night the
plates were taken from the car
at West Salem, and one of the
youths was carrying them across
the intercounty bridge to Salem
when he was arrested.
The houses entered were those
of J. M. Hamby, J. A. Gosser and
Fred Gibson. Only a small amount
of money was taken.

State Fails to Convict Earl

OREGON CITY. Ore.. Nov. 25.

hours and a half had sougnt a
verdict In the ease of Earl Jones.
19, charged with killing his step
mother and a half-brother, was
discharged a few minutes before
midnight after having received the
case at 11:17 a. m. yesterday. The
court, entertained the plea of the
Jury that it was unable to reach
an agreement. Young Jones was
charged with setting a dynamite
blast which last March 15 des
troyed the house of the family
near Boring, Ore.
The disposition of the case now
rests with the district attorney:
who may call for a new trial or
dismiss the case.
Jurors 'Split On
Manslaihter Verdict
One of the Jurors was quoted
as having said that between 25
and 30 ballots were taken. The
same source of information said
the twelve Jurors had agreed to
eliminate from consideration ver
diets of guilty of murder in the
first degree, and guilty of second
! degree murder, and had reached
the point where they were debat
ing on the return of a verdict of
manslaughter.
The Juror said the men reached
a deadlock on the manslaughter
verdict, seven standing for con
viction and five for acquittal.

In closing the argument to the
Jury, Livy Stipp, District Attor
ney, said: "We know that this
youth bought 50 pounds of blast
ing powder. By his own admission
be placed it under the house the
edge of the house. We know that
later it was placed further under
the house some eight or ten feet,
at a position where it would only
be placed by the design of some
person looking toward the demol
.ojment of the house and the
death of its occupants.
"We know that Earl Jone3
alone knew of this powder under
the house. We believe the pow
der was not exploded by accident,
and it is up to you of the Jury to
decide whether Earl Jones ignited
the blast that Eent his step mother
to her death and killed his ten
year-old half brother."

Possibility of
Landing Is Seen
It was conjectured here that
"Lindy" may have landed at Home
point between the border and
Tampico. It also was thought like
ly that he may have detoured to
the Hal Mangums ranch, near
Eagle Pass, Tex., where he was re
cently a hunting guest of the own

Brownsville ordinarily renulrt
about three hours.
The Fort Brown meteorological

the mysterious plane, which car
ried lights, was initiated to fj-,t

that It might have gone down la
the wild region near MatamornV.
Some Fear Worst v
May Have Occurred
Some of the more pessimistic
feared that "Lindy" might hava
been in trouble, but there was no
definite background to that belief.
It was pointed out by many that
Lindbergh was won't to get about
in the air with a minimum of os
tentation and that there was noth
ing unusual in his trail becoming
lost temporarily.
Lindbergh has been in MeiUo
for some time on a visit with
friends, having spent two weeks
