7; The OREGON STATESMAN. Salem, Oregon Sunday Morning, September 29, 1929 PAGE ELEVEN ICDHLD'S IIP STARTS British Premier and Daugh ter Now Well on Way Toward America ABOARD THE S. S. BEREN GARtA, Sepr. 2S (AP) This vessel tonight was fairly started upon its voyage to New York with the important mission of hearing Prime Minister Ramsay MacDon ald of Great Britain to personal conferences which he experts to cement the pre win; understand- Ins between the two nations on naval and oilier matters. Ilia voyaeo actually began ear ly today at Southampton where with hli daughter Ishbel and members of his official party he boarded the liner last night. A short call wa3 made at Cherbourg for other passengers and at 4:00 p.m.. the trans-Atlantic voyage irai begun in a brilliant sunshine w iich eem"d to augur well. The voyage of the "peace ship" lo the French port was certainly a Pacific one with the sea as emottth as the surfar-e of a shel tered lake in a dead calm the Mac Donald party was naturally the renter of attraction with the whole ship giving itself over to t!ie job of following every move ment of the prime minister and his daughter. Mr. MacDonald himself loomed largest in the picture and drew a st jrm of cheers from the crowd that thronged the pier-end at Southampton as the Cunarder made a somewhat belated depart ure shortly after 9:00 a.m.. the early fog had then lifted enough to permit her commander to see his way out into Southampton wa ter. At that the huge vessel with her d-ep draught almost lost out with the ebbing tide and churned mud more than once while making her war slowly out of the solent to deeper waters. Another half hour and she would have been tied up In port until afternoon, awaiting the next tide. The brisht jtunshine favored the voyasers and delighted a busy group of photographers who took pit :tne after picture of the pre mier and other members of his party. They were especially fa vored while crossing the channel twhen a special boat drill was or ganized for the MacDonalds, who donned life preservers with the crowd of others t the boat sta tions and submitted with smiling composure to an epidemic of cam era shots. Mr. MacDonald was the idol of the pas.engers before he started, lie fore Cherbourg was reached his daughter had captured a sim ilar place for herself by her sim plicity, naturalness and undeni able sincerity. For two hours daring the raorn ln? she left the imperial suite and read correspondence and wrote letters In the common writing room of the vessel wherejnaay ot bet- fellow passengers were fath ered. She wore a simple green short-sleeved frock with no hat. h?r wavy brown hair, being parted in the middle and dressed low in the neck. Her shoes were of white sports type with Grey stock ing, j Karlier in the day she bad worn a red leather coat to keep off the chill of the fog while patrolling the decks and waving farewells override before the . departure. Sh.? went hatless throughout and her strong rather serious face was often I!t with a most engaging smile which sometimes broke into a generous laugh. Americans among the passen gers freely predicted that their countrymen would take to "her. They said that she scarcely ' ap peared as the daughter of the head of the British government and shortly to be a distinguished guest at the White House. They found her perfectly unassuming and natural. (Continued from Page 1.) th best performers of the week v ili be up for action this after roon.

Kohler, professor of English literature at Willam ette university, does not hurry to make sweeping statements of im pressions received on his Tisit to England and the Continent this past summer. "Europeans chide us for our commenting broadly on their lives after a week's Tisit with them," he observes, "but, on the other hand, some of them visit New York City and then go home and write a book about the United States." And with this observation the score seems to be evened. Dr. Kohler did not travel with any organized touring group, for he preferred to pick his own itin erary and see things in whatever manner seemed most convenient. By way of explanation he said, "I wanted to come in contact with people and their ways of living; when once you make these con tacts you see the sources of liter ature and art." Kohler Impressed by Knglish Way of Living The English1 lave a native qual ity of domesticity which made a forceful impression on the Wil lamette professor.

North Cottage and D streets, Iter. O. T7. Ruiscb. offi ww cran ciating.,, Interment Lex Miasiom cemetery. ' ' dally enjoyment are the expres sion of this trait. The English gardens, closed In from the public eye, have a personality and taste expressed In their line, form, and color. Even the ancient stone walls seemed to have an ancestral quality, and gave the feeling of continuity of existence. "As. soon as yon enter an English room or garden you have a feeling bt many years of use of the place, and sense that it has had generations of inhabitants." Condition Extends To British Countryside The English countryside, even, seems to have something of this quality. Although the clumps of trees and the hedgerows give evi dence of much thoughtful care, there is nothing artificial about it. The English climate with its mists and mild winter's aids in making the vegetation similar to that of Oregon, with the differ ence that there is nothing rugged to correspond to our fir and pine trees. Beech and oak trees pre dominate, and the landscape pre sents a gentleness of contour. Hills are rolling, and a large meadow, with its little clumps of trees, presents the appearance of a natural golf course. Ancient Manor System Found Nearly Gone The old manor system, estab lished hundreds of years ago. Is all but gone. However, some large estates with several hundred acres enclosed by ivy-covered walls remain. The large manor houses seem rather to have grown out of the landscape than to have been built. Long avenues of trees and smaller hedgerows lead up to the house, and one sees a natural presentation of perspective."" City dwellers and inhabitants of smaller towns do not live "on the street" to the extent " that Americans do. A house presents a very plain front to the street, and the privacy of the Individual is highly respected. A row of American houses with tlje families sitting on the porch would hardly be understood across the water. The family garden always seems to be an extension ot the house, and the family life is in the house and the garden. English People Lacking As Ready Conversationalists Dr. Kohler found the English usually reticent about opening a conversation, but usually willing to continue it when once it was started. They are intelligent questioners, as a rule, and are bet ter critics than Americans are be cause they do not cease to inquire so soon. "They may differ with you in opinion, but they are al ways willing for you to keep your own opinion." The Germans seemed to be more Interested in arguing and debating, whereas the English desired merely to dis cuss a question. The English, Belgians, Ger mans. Sws and French had their ested Dr. Kohler. But after see ing them all his comment was, "They are delightful people to meet OREGON RESERVE OFFICERS GATHER (Continued from Fags 1.) ledge of any great proportion of the people. He promised that should the reserve corps ask any reasonable assistance from the rovernme-nt in furthering his work, the appeal would have bis support. He has in the past voted against reduction in the number of training camps, he adaea. The SO. 000 men who are devot Ing their time to study of military affairs, may be called npon to perform a service which will be of immeasurable value to me n tlon, the congressman conlcuded About 1000 of these reserve oiu cers are citizens of Oregon, he mentioned. Greetings to the reserve offi cers on behalf of the city, were brought by Mayor T. A. Livesley, and on behalf of the state by Hal E. H03s, secretary of state. Dr. Laban Steeves welcomed the vis itors on behalf ot the Marion-Polk county reserve officers associa tion, of which he is president. oEORfeiiiTo LEASE HEME (Continued from Page 1.)

All three vaudeville acta were watched as eagerly Saturday as on their first appearance. Prof. At eno's handstand on top of the 85 foot pole drew especial attention, as the wind was blowing a gale. Already thoughts of those In Charge are turning to fairs of the future. Practically every depart ment is crowded for space, espe cially the agricultural exhibits building, the livestock barns, and the dairy building. The livestock division has shown such a rapid increase during the last few years that even the 13 large barns al ready there are not adequate, and some definite campaign for en largement will probably be launch ed In the near future. Members of the board, assem bled in the afternoon for an Infor mal meeting, declared themselves highly pleased with the way the fair has gone off, and with the support given to it by people of Salem and the state. E W. C. Johnson of Moosegow, Saskatchewan, Canada, is com pleting a deal through the A. C Bohrnstedt realty office for purchase of the 60-acre timber and farm acreage at Sunnyslde, six miles south of Salem, owned by Peter Corpstein. Johnson will spend several thousand dollars within the next few months erect, ing a large farm house and setting out a nut and fruit tract. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson and five children are in Salem now, but will more to the farm in the near future. The Corpstein family, whose home is in Tucson, Arizona, have a number of property holdings here and have for years spent each summer here looking after them. They have been staying on the farm. which Johnson baa pur chased this summer.

Sept 28 (AP) An earthquake rocked the en tire city of Hllo at 7:10 a. m., today, one of the main streets was ripped-apart in two places. The Catholic church which was moved on its foundations, was marred by many cracks. The shock was similar In vlci ousness to that which caused $100,000 damage in the Kona district on the western, or oppos ite side of Hawaii island. It was the first shock felt in Hilo of the series of quakes that hare kept the populace of Kona district terror stricken since Monday night. Hilo is approximately 60 air line miles from Kona district, which has been shaken almost continuously following the first shock Monday night caused by movements of lava within the craters ot the volcanoes Manna Loa. Kilauea and Hualalai. The Tolcano observatory, near Kilauea, reported that 50 earth quakes in the past 24 hours were recorded on the seismograph, in such manner as to Indicate that two columns of lava were rising to the surface. General belief is that the lava will make. Its ap pearance from the craters of Hualalai or Mauna Loa, as pre dicted by Volcanologist Thomas A. Jaggar. Residents in the country to the north of Hilo were moving their river today In an attempt to get away from the Pun Oo district, where the quakes seem to be concentrated. The district Is about 15 miles 'east of Hilo, and is sparsely settled. After a lull yesterday, a series of shocks began at 10 o'clock last night. With increasing Intensity, they were felt over the entire island of Hawaii, with the result that residents' nerves were strain ed almost to the breaking points. More than 200 shocks hare been felt by the terrorized popu lace during the present seismic disturbance. Professor Jaggar, who has studied the volcanoes ot Hawaii for many years, said that such activity usually preceded an eruption, and that the Hualalai, Mauna Loa and Kilauea volcanoes might erupt simultaneously any time within a month, or the activ ity might be confined to any one of the three. Hualalai, although dormant I am forced to sell this number of Hit? ears immediately, if you are interested in purchase of a new car you can not afford to pass this up. We will take trades, give terms, and our service is second to none. iTour Opportunity is Here By F. Ct. slaee 1801, was considered by Jaggar the most likely to burst into activity. Mauna Loa, which has discharged lava streams down its slopes from the 13.C7S foot peak, is twenty-two miles distant from TJalalai by air line. Kilauea, world's largest active volcano, which has frequently erupted. Is about twenty more miles distant from Hualalai, on the farther slope of Mauna-Loa. Filter Plant in Salem Discussed By O.-W. Co. . i J. R. Jahn, mechanical engi neer of the Oregon Washington Water Service company, and H. F. Gray, designer, were called to San Francisco a few days ago to consult with officials of the Fed eral Water Service company re specting plans for the proposed filter plant for Salem. Thomas H. Wiggin, chief engineer of the company was here from New York several days last week going over the local plans. He went to San Francisco from here. In Califor nia the engineers will study some of the installations there to ob tain the benefit of the experience there so they may incorporate the best ideas in the building of the Salem plant. Work is going ahead as rapidly as possible toward completing plans for the filter plant which is designed to provide Salem with an abundant supply of pure water. An additional well is to be drilled in North Salem to augment the supply in that district.
