Automobiles have played havoc vyith church attendance automobiles and the Oregon scen ery and climate. Those who dwell in Nebraska or Maryland and New Jersey may as well go to church as not when Sun day comes, because there is no place else to go. But in Ore gon the lure of an emerald glen or pound of the surf on a ' rocky headland prove too tempting even forthe most de voted. The pastor himself is glad for his two Sundays of respite and period of rejuvenation at the beach. . . So when September comes and folk come home from their wanderings the pastor must seek them out and rally them once more to the holy cause. Some of course are al ways faithful. They will appear and get under the load of Sunday School or Epworth League or missionary society or guild. Others have to be coaxed and others, many others, have to be prodded. This fall several of the local churches have new men in the service. For them the task is even harder because they must get acquainted with their parishioners and with the community! They will find in Salem, we fce.ieve; a very wholesome atmosphere, a friendly attitude ou the part of the public toward the work of the churches, and a broad feeling of tolerance among the several communions. Regardless of what creed folk may profess, it remains true that the churches do have a heavy burden of respon sibility in the moral training of youth, in vigorous defence of sound public morals, and in propagation of enlightened conceptions of ethics in this changing world. The load falls upon the pastors; and their success is a powerful factor in preserving high ideals in our social culture. Q. E. D. CONGRESSMAN W. C. Hawley has been over at Long view and in that city that lumber built he spoke on the matter of the importation of lumber into this country from Russia. He is thus reported m the Morning Oregoman: "Importation of goods into the United States, Mr. Hawley de- eiared, is a privilege, not a right. It is therefore the duty of the Importer to prove that he is entitled to the privilege. In Russia, he - pointed out, everyone Is required to labor, so that In effect all labor is penal labor." Now how is that for logic? First Premise: "In Russia everyone is required to la bor." Second premise: "In effect all labor tin Russia) is penal labor. Implied conclusion: Since all labor in Russia is penal labor, all Russian products should be barred from entry. Quod erat demonstratum. But how about the United States where everyone is required to labor in order to get his food and clothing? Is that penal labor too? Captain John Smith, the first Amer ican, was the author of the immortal dictum long thought indigenous to American soil, that those who. didn't work couldn t eat. Now it seems, that is penal labor. ; We had always thought that penal labor was enforced labor in retribution for crime. Congressman Hawley lays . down the maxim that everyone who has to work, simply I - t i . m. m uecause it is a general requirement, is penormmg penal labor." And . on this point we vigorously disagree with the congressman, both as to Russia and the United States. HEALTH todays Talk Cy!Lfl.Ccptb7tit,lLir More Road Bonds? THE issuance of road bonds to provide more money for road building by the state impresses us as unsound. The purpose of the proposal by Governor Norblad, to re lieve unemployment, is worthy, but in -the end it would mean more of a burden. Besides paying the principal of the bonds there would be the interest to pay. One trouble now is that so large a proportion of our current road reve nues goes for debt service on past bond issues. The road program itself calls for no such speeding up, because more money has been available, this year than for many years. Federal funds have been increased and prob ably after the next congress meets additional money will be tendered under the Colton-Oddie bill Road work under present contracts will continue far into the fall, and win ter construction is generally impracticable. : The Statesman believes in having the state get out of debt, as the surest promise of future prosperity; and there fore hopes the highway commission will not carry out the 1 recommendation of the governor to issue more road bonds at the present time.

A tot at worrying la dona over nosebleed- One f tha moat commoa of childhood's svllments to bleeding from tha noses , Usu ally It la not at all. s or Ions. Nose bleed to almost always founded on soma local dis turbance, easl Jy a e e o anted kJh - T Milt UiVMLKll racted. It to always welLto aee a doctor if nose bleed oorars often, or It the bleedlnrto long continued. A very great loss of blood la not good for anyone But aomtlmes Natare take thla way of getting rid of too mueh blood In one place, a congested area somewhere in the body. In our northern climate, espe cially on the Atlantic sea coast, and inland on the Great Lakes, where there Is much moisture In the atmosphere, catarrh Is one of the most common ailments. One who has repeated colds and ca-. tarrh la very apt to have nose bleed from broken tissues. Scabs or crusts are formed In the nose ' and when Temoved bleeding Is sure to be produced. In some acute fevers nose bleed is a symptom. Measles, in fluenza, pneumonia, diphtheria. whooping cough, scarlet fever. and especially typhoid fever, are. sucn diseases, uoromon wmii the quality of the blood is reduc ed, as in anemia, may be accom panied by nose bleed. Of course if you have a blow on the nose or some other injury- there you would expect to have bleedina- after it But don't wor ry, nature has provided a elottrar of the blood to stop the flow of blood. The ordinary natural pro cesses will usually stop the nose bleed. There are several simple rem edies that can be used in case of nose bleed. Cold applications on the back of the neck or over the nose are recommended. .Some times putting the feet In not wa ter will draw the circulation from the head and thus assist In eon trolling the bleeding. Pinching the nose between the thumb and finger will make pressure suffi cient often to control the hem- morrhage. Another good thing to use Is tannic acid dissolved in water. This can be applied on cotton. Clear the nose by blowing out the blood clots and then push into the nasal passage a cotton tampon saturated with the fluid. You may use peroxide of hydrogen or adre nalin chloride in the same man ner. The latter la a solution which has marked astrlngency. The sight of blood is apt to frighten people. We are taught that the blood stream Is the Tery life of the body, and, of course, it is. But fear is foolish, for it sets the heart ta beating strongly, and this. In turn Increases the bleeding. Say soothing things to the patient. Calm his fears. If everything is not all right In a short time call a doctor or take the patient to the nearest clinic. Answers to Health Queries D. M. H. Q.

"Party not known here, "Worked here two months three years ago stop present where abouts unknown. Thus, with --minor variations. they read. It required all of Pe ter's resolution to sit still In the office and wait, but it was the only thing to do. It would only waste time for him to yield to the Impulse to follow the search in person. The police might have done better. There were moments when Peter was tempted to throw up his hand and call them to his aid. But, after all, Ryder had a legal right to go where he pleased. He could hardly be said to be "missing." And If he were actu ally concerned In the Mortison af fair, it would be a fatal mistake to warn him by putting the police ou his trail since they had no charge with which to hold him. These were the reasons Peter gave to himself as he ripped open another telegram wjth his thumb and tossed it into the wastebasket to Join its predecessors. But the real reason lay deeper. To open the case to the police would be to open It to other pa pers and lose the precious advant age of his private "tip." Moreover, to expose Ryder would necessarily expose Lammle and the police department would seize any excuse to get something on Lammle. Even if they had to release him the next day, one day would be enough for Morton. And they might not have to release him. Peter groaned aloud at the con flict of loyalties that tore his mind. There was loyalty to his craft, and to the' men of that craft, and the two were at cross purposes. There was his promise to Aline Everett, reinforced by his strong conviction that even if he failed her, ahe would go on alone. She had persistence. If she stumbled upon the same trail that Peter was following, she would feel none of his sick reluctance to in volve Lammle. Peter fervently cursed the fate which had led from a Hangtown ranch straight back to the Her ald office. Damn it. It had never happened before I Reporters were supposed to cover murders, not to get mixed up in them! It was a chance conversation between the waterfront man and Henderson, in charge of the Her ald's broadcasting station, that gave Peter an additional hunch. He had little confidence In it he had reached the point where everything seemed to lead no where, and bis faith In things in general was at low ebb but at least It gave him the Illusion of doing something besides waiting for telegrams. "ine wue and children are camping in my shack on the Mc- Cleod river," Dwyer was saying, "A wire came for her last night that her mother Is very ill and wants her to come. I don't know how on earth to reach her she won 1 get man up mere for a week." Then Henderson produced bis bright idea. "If you've got a radio up there it s easy. I'll Just have the an nouncer tell her to Come home." Maybe Ryder didn't listen In on the radio. Maybe he wouldn't tune In on KLX If he did. But it was a chance, and Peter took it. He wrote the message out, wording it carefully. And two days later, without warning, Ryd- en walked into the office. "I was Just ready to quit any way," he said buoyantly, as Pe ter caught up with him half way 10 Jimmy s aesK. "But I never thought I'd wake up and find my self famous.

Jeremiah XXXII :9. 10, 1. me methods of real estate transactions are very old This one lacked only the intermedia tion of a realtor to make it very modern. It would hare been oven more modern it the sale had been made on a contract, with one shak er down and on a week for six teen more weeks. Jeremiah paid cash; and thereby ho set a good example. Hera wo have the elements of the deal. Jeremiah was in -prison navxng been thrown in tor talking too much (freedom of speech is rather a modern invention). His cousin had some land to sail and came to the jail to offer it to Jer emiah who bought it for IT shek els. The deed was draws no. oroD- orly sealed and witnessed, then It was daly reeorded as - all deedai should: bo. That mad It a valid sale and purchase. Tier was no abstract required and no title in snraneo was demanded. Jeremiah evidently thonaht' he could trust ato conalff that tha title was dear. rartner back ro the records -of real eataU transactions Abraham bought the ear of Uachpelah for afaaily graveyard after Sara died.- eosiuidiae nearer Unsmnar who had first right to buy the Widow Naomi's Inheritance that ho would hare to buy up the interest of the daughter-ia-law Ruth, "to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance." This showed they had some probate system at that time. Still farther back on Ihe wax tablets of Babylonia are re corded the real estate transactions of early times. There is something of a parallel for this In the field of morals. The restraints and restrictions upon human conduct were long defend ed as the decrees of God as writ ten down In an inerrant book. But aa the "acids of modernity" to use Waiter Lippman's phrase In his "Preface to Morals.'! have eaten at these ancient foundations of the moral code, the reaction would hold these moral laws as "null and void." It Is not so. Morals are not merely the commandment of the deity, they are the product of centuries of human evolution. It has been only by dint of moral laws of truth-telling, abstention front stealing, chastity, tint the race has survived. Moral decency sooner or later means racial de cay. Virtue is the price of preser-' ration Just as we find in the oldest civilizations the rules for transfer of property, for selling of goods. ana me settlement ox disputes, so no we rind a cnitnre which eon- tolas Ks moral codes. They are! more tnan tne wum of tha'trihal shaman; they are the , precipitate, of centuries of human experience. That to why they survive and will rosuane 10 survive. for coming down? It's many a job I've asked for, but this is the first one that was ever handed to me over the radio." Peter had some difficulty In stemming the tide of Ryder's monologue. It was impossible to connect the black-haired, ttevil-may-care Irishman, who never stayed long enough in one place to get a raise, but could talk him self into a Job In any town where he chanced to land, with anything so sinister as murder. "He couldn't keep his mind on it long enough,", Peter reflected. "He'd quit and go somewhere else, to the middle of the Job." Even on his way to what he be lieved to be the offer nf a place on the Herald. Ryder was quite willing to pause for a chat. Peter beckoned to Lammle with one hand, while with the other he held Ryder firmly by the arm. (Continued on Page 20) Tjregon will keep growing: Salem will become a largo city. It's the water; the rainfall In tho valleys and the snowfall on the mountains; the abundance of available moisture tor tho present generation, and for man mors to come after, who will Uro on the Increasingly fertile acres and la tho constantly growing cities of this state. The Bits man wrote a lot about this last winter. Did the average reader get the idea? Or did he conclude that the Bits man, the whlloa Slogan man, was "intoxi cated by tho exuberance of his own verbosity?" Talking through his hat? Unduly excited by what he bad seen and studied of the condi tions ho found in California? Well, consider this: Ralph B, Lloyd -has embarked upon a 20- year program of development in Portland. He to spending a great sum of money, and Is due to in vest many millions more. It Is his money. He made it, most of it, in California. He Is a resident of Los Angeles. Why did ho not decide upon a 20-year development pro gram In that state? Some days ago Mr. Lloyd talk ed to the Presidents council In Portland; an organization made up of the executives of the large and forward business concerns In that city. He told them why. Among other thing she said: S Ts . me Willamette valley, prop erly irrigated and drained, will become the most productive val ley In tho world." Where did ho get that idea.? He said he got it from "evidence given him by Cal ifornia farmers." The forward looking farmers of California know that state Is through; that it has reached its limit of avail able water to keep its vast ex panse of fertile acres from going back to the desert. Water Is wat er In California. It is good as far as it goes, to make that state keep on blossoming as the rose. But there is not enough of It for even the present cultivated acre age. The water level is going down, crown, steadily. It is down now 100 feet in some sections. Ask the walnut growers there, who are grubbing up and making firewood out of their splendid. large trees. V Lloyd told the Portland execu tives: "Southern California, forc ed to lrigate, lifts water with pumps, and the water table has descended 60 to 100 feet lower in the earth. Moreover, aa the water Is lifted from greater depths Its Impregnation with min eral elemnts is greater, even to the point of affecting plants. We had very little water in southern California the last 10 years; we are drawing upon the bank ac count of the earth-stored water of the centuries, and there are scientists who have expressed the fear that we shall come to the' end. With many millions Invested in water supply brought a great distance, with $33,000,000 more Just voted to store more water, yet with little more than enough water to meet the needs of the present population, a supplemen tal supply from the distant Col- I iorado is tbft only real hope.' h ! That fa Mr. TJavd fair ine- nnl the Bits man. Tho new 128,000, 000 yoted to to cet another 100 second feet for Los Angeles from Mona lake, above-the present end of tho Owens river pipe lino, 250 miles away. And tho IS8.O0O.vOw to aot nearly enough. It to expect ed that tho sum will be eked oat with profits in water and power on tho present system. And that's tho tost stand for southern Cali fornia and tho rest of the state is in no better ease, as to future water. . . Aa Mr. Lloyd says: "A supple mental supply from tho distant Colorado is tho only real hopj." It la tho last hope. But the whole of California will get only 1S00 second feet of water from the Colorado at Boulder (Black Can yon) dam, for seven states will share in that supply.. And the 1500 second feet will hare to be shar ed with all of southern Califor nia. The Imperial valley alone wants and needs it all; can use It; and the 1500 second feet sup ply must be lifted 1200 feet at the proposed dam, so that it may flow by gravity 270 miles to Los Angeles, through a pipe line. If It were notfor the lifting, the pipe line would have to be 750 miles long, and that Is prohibitive. And the whole project Is 10 to 15 years away, for its ultimate com pletion if the bonds for the pipe line and the lifting machinerv. etc., can be voted and sold. Mr. Lloyd went on to tell the Portland executives: "The wator supply, caught and reservoired by the nrountains and flowing abund antly in adjacent streams, is the key that is to unlock for this re gion a future growth and accom plishment that will be almost without parallel." W He tells something the Bits man overlooked, the rreiftenni- pregnation with mineral elements as the water 'table recedes. The higher the pumpincr costs, tha smaller the value of the water for Irrigation. Mr. Llovd chlded the Portland men for "their larh- of faith and vision: their want of vigilance. t "W h y, southern California without eternal vigilance would revert to the desert in 24 months The orange tree, withnut mm would die quickly. Here, If you plant an apple or a prune or a peach it will go on growing even if surrounded by weeds." s Los Angeles goes on erowina- at the rate of 100.600 a. rear. Consequently the city takes more water. Soon for the thirsty crops. Some is be ing taken now, and the fertile land turned back to the deserL What will happen?
