PRESNALL said: "Did you ever try dropping dome money, perhaps a very email amount, into each of the Christmas kettles on the corn era as you go around town? town? You 'get four smiles from four Salvation Army lassies." MISS ELM A WELLER. one of Salem's well-known teacherB of piano, said: "Too little ap preciation is given by the pub lic for the efforts that young people put into the piano num bers presented in recitals. The technique of these young people is not perfect, that is what they are working toward, but the results which they do achieve 'should be appreciated in proportion to the efforts which make up these results." IRMA SCHOLES. Salem high chol senior, said: " I think the graduation exercises should be held in one of the theaters rath er than in the armory. The greater comfort, better ac coustlcs, better decorating facil ities, lights, etc., would . more than make up for the small ness of the crowd which could be accommodated." PROP. P. D.

Chamber of Commerce 3cene of Meeting In an effort to find out what Marion county people really Jone about discontinuation of work of thee hild health demon Uration in rural districts, a mass neetine has been called by T. M Hicks, president of the Marlon Countv Public Health association !or 2 o'clock Saturday afternoon n the chamber of commerce aud itorium. Call for a public meeting comes xs a result of orders from the Mew York headauarters of the Commonwealth Fund, which es tablished the health demonstra tion here and has supported it to a great extent so far, to stop all service in the county, except at 3alem, Silvertoa and Woodburn, jn January 1. Orders for cessa tion of rural work in turn, came following refusal of the county 'ourt to provide for the proposed needs of the demonstration in Its 19 29 budget. The court, Instead of adhering to its unwritten agree ment to Increase its financial sup port on a gradual scale. Included .he same sum in its new budget as it pledged last year. Refusal of the court to increase ts expenditures In behalf of the iemonstration Is based on the as- .ertion that it does not know whether or not the people of the rounty want the work continuea, )r what public reaction to the Iemonstration may be. Word From New York Of flees Awaited Word from New York head luarters of the Commonwealth ?und Is awaited by Dr. Estella Ard Warner, head of the Marion county child health demonstra ibn, before final decision Is made lere on whether all demonstra :ion work will be halted except In Mties supporting the demonstra tion. In an effort to have action de ayed until voters of the county lave an opportunity to pass on .he question of additional appro bation, the county court has of "ered to give the demonstration the full $1890 during the first five months of 1929. This f 1890 Is th ;um carried in the present budget :o provide for the entire year. In caBe the voters refused to authorize further appropriation, the demonstration could cease op erations in all rural sections after the May election, under the term f the proposition submitted oy the county court. As yet no election has been au thorized for May, but it is antici pated that the 1929 legislature will authorize one. E PRESSURE TO BEAR WASHINGTON, Dec 13.

(AP Without a word of debate the senate today boosted the appro priation proposed for prohibition enforcement next year from J IS,' 500,000, to $270,627,384, the highest figure ever suggested. Tho increase, however, still must be approved by the house where re- Lpeated efforts to provide such a large sum have met with failure. The move to increase the allot ment was made by Senator Bruce, democrat, Maryland, one of the wet leaders in congress, whe pro posed the more than quarter bil lion dollars addition In amend ment form to the treasury-post-office supply bill after the senate once had passed the measure. The senator got his amendment In, however, by asking for recon Dry Enforcement wantUlderatlon of the bill and then things moved so quickly that it apparently was not until some time later that the senate realized what had occurred. Measure To Be Killed In Shorter, Present Plan Declaring the appropriation would "wreck" the government's fiscal program,-leaders Immediate ly laid plans to kill the increase when the bill is considered in the conference with the house for ad justment of differences between the two bodies. Unable even to explain his amendment because of the rush with which it went through, Sen ator Bruce later explained off the floor that "If we can't repeal the dry act, let's enforce It right." He 3ald he had suggested the Increase because Commissioner Doran of the prohibition bureau had de clared recently that It would take $300,000,000 to enforce the law. To support this Increase for en forcement work, the Maryland senator said he now proposed to prepare a bill authorizing enough lew federal courts to "cover the Sand and take care of the enor mous increase in business which seems in prospect." Senator Bruce laughed aloud to the dismay of the email group of senators on the floor when) his amendment was declared approved and the bill Immediately thereaf ter declared passed.

Dec 13 (AP) Surgeon - General Gum ming, after conferring with the 'board of strategy' ho appointed to make a study of the influenza epidemic, today made public a program of precaution to aid in combating the disease but at the same time emphasized that the hope of preventing its spread was an illusive one. Cases reported today stood at 41,063 after Tennessee reported 243 new cases, and the belief con tinued among public health offi cials that these cases represent not mote than one-fifth of the ac- ual, ones. The Sugeron General's program of precaution recommended the Isolation of recognized and , sus pected cases, avoiding contact with crowds, and the treatment of cases at home rather than in hospitals. , All of these suggestions were qualified with the clause "If pos sible." General Camming doubted the effectiveness of closing city schools and of wearing Influenza masks. Meanwhile, congress also took cognizance of the epidemic. Re presentative Edwards, democrat. Georgia, introducing a bill to authorize an appropriation of $16,000,000 for use by the sur geon general to combat the out break. The measure would make this sum available immediately, permitting the surgeon general to add to his force a sufficient num ber of physicians and other per sonnel to carry on the work in conjunction with state, county and municipal authorities.

Wil liams, who is in charge of the campaign. Here is one, from a man over 60 years old. "... I am sure you will re ceive In the Spirit of Love, my tiny remittance, to help "In the good work of remembering the poor. I am very thankful . . . that at my age ... I am still able, by common labor, to provide for a wife and five children. . . The Lord loves a cheerful giver; I only wish I had $1000 to give as willingly as this $1." Aims Outlined "Service, to God through serv ive to man" Is perhaps the most clear and concise definition that could possibly be given offhand, in reply to a question such as "What Is the Salvation Army"? The plan upon which the Sal. vatlon Army proceeds to "serve God through serving man" calls for the adoption of methods that make for expediency, swift and common-sense relief, economy, and a spiritual foundation for it all which comes as near as the Army can possibly bring ft, to the standard that Christ would adopt were He here among us to min ister to the homeless, the helpless the desperate, the sickly and the wayward. As the Salvation Army under stands the life of Christ, as it de ducts the great lessons to gained from the teachings of the Bible, so does It Heek to apply the methods of the Master to the ev ery-day life of people everywhere. Its methods are direct. If a square meal, or a pair. of shoes, or a cot in a hospital is needed to help some poor wretch to his or her feet again, the Salvation Army Immediately proceeds to supply such meal, shoes or cot.

People Back By CLARKXCE DUBOSE Associated Press Staff Writer BUENOS AIRES, Dec. 13. (AP) Herbert Hoover arrived In Buenos Aires at sunset this eve ning after an all-day trip across the (Argentine pampas to receive sues a welcome as this capital, the jlargest city in Latin America, never before accorded a North American. HiDolIto Irtgoyen. Argentina's president, and other high offic ials.! e:reeted the president-elect at the railroad station when his train arrived at 7 p. m., but after their actual meeting a well planned, elaborate reception and paraiie went definitely astray. Cheering throngs, equal in size to aby that greeted Mr. Hoover in his I electoral campaign in the United States, crushed about the reception committee and the na tion's guest. It was with the ut most difficulty that he. was escort ed to an automobile with Pres ident Irigoyen and the trip to I he United States embassy begun. Members of the Argentine cabinet and; others were supposed to fol low; In other automobiles, but ho great was the crowd and so inef fectual were police lines that the procession had not the slightest semblance to the parade it was intended to be. Crowd Estimated At Hundreds of Thousands Police estimated that hundreds of thousands of persons packed the. area around the railroad sta tion and the streets leading to the embassy. Previously for more than 30 miles the special train bearing Mr; Hoover and his party bad passed between almost solid lima of people, with larger crowds at every suburban station. Newspapermen hejfe said the re ception equalled that accorded j the city to the Prince-ef Watea, the Crown Prince oil Italy, and t)e Italian aviator. Marquis de Pine do. They saw a note of Irony in Its magnificence, when It was re membered that only a few days ago a plot to blow up the special train carrying the j Hoover party as tt arrived in the city had been frustrated by arrest of the con spirators. Military Authorities! Much In Evidence ! There was ample display of the military and constabulary at the station and along the route to the embassy to indicate the precau tions that had been; taken for the safety of the visitors; but neither Mrj Hoover nor the Argentine of ficials seem to have taken the plot seriously, although isecret service men will guard every avenue ef approach to the president-elect. A carpet of red pjush had been laid at the railroad, station when the special train arrived and t this Mr. Hoover and members of his party stepped as they got oft the train that had brought these from the heights of the Andes across the fertile Argentine pass pas. The president-elect first shook hands with President Irigoyem, whose presence at the station. since he rarely appears at public functions, was considered most re markable here. i Deaf Wife Knows Hubby's Threat The case of Joseph Kails trea who Is accused by his wife of hav ing attempted to kill her, was or dered continued by Justice of the Peace Small when Kallstrom peared in justice court Thursday.
