RiVer Improvement Above Salem WE cannot agree with our "Bits'? editor, nor with Sen ator McNary on the feasibility at the prfesent time of trying to canalize the Willamette river above Salem as far as Eugene. It impresses us as wholly impractical from the cost involved and the amount and character of tonnage available for water transport. There is a different situation ..respecting the river below Salem. The channel there has been kept open for vessels except in the low water montns of the year; and the volume of tonnage available has dem onstrated the practicability of keeping a four-foot channel 1 open the year round. Above the influx of the Santiam at Jefferson the Wil lamette becomes a very ordinary stream; and in many ninrpa vtrpmp1v shallow. To imDrove the river for boats or barges as far as Eugene would entail an enormous expend iture. A study of the traffic possibilities would show a lack of tonnage to justify such an expenditure. We cannot talk of the Willamette in terms of the Ohio because the Ohio carries a heavy volume of bulky coarse commodities: coal, iron and steel. Mines and plants are lo cated on or close to the river. Here the only bulky com modity available in quantity is lumber, and many of these mills are located back from the river. The present railroad extensions into timber are not -made just for the haul to - the river but for the longer haul on the transcontinental railroads. It is better, we believe, to concentrate on improving a section of the river, like from Salem to Portland, where the facts clearly warrant the development, rather than to pro pose a development go costly and impractical that the whole enterprise would be turned down by the federal government. Preparing Public fiudgets THE season of the year for preparing budgets of various branches of government is at hand. The normal atti tude of many public officials is to see what increases they can get approved by budget-making bodies. These officials see opportunities for expanding their departments and for rendering wider service to the public; and-are constantly tugging at the leash for more money. To all such, we may as well say bluntly that this is no year to 'expand public expenditures. People are in no mood to have their taxes increased. Up at Grants Pass a taxpayers' association has been formed. It is going to check closely on various items of the public budgets. The mere creation of such a body is an index to public officials that taxpayers are alert to protect their own interests. The Grants Pass Courier says the first thing the association will look into will be the roads. The construction and maintenance of roads do take the lion's share of county funds; and the question frequently arises whether the road district system is the best for,, economical road administration. As a rule those vested with responsibility for making budgets are eager to hold down the amounts required to be raised by taxation. Usually taxpayeraavthemselves, they know the attitude of the taxpayers; and it is safe to say that the taxing bodies this year are going to pare down op erating costs so that taxes may be reduced. " A Toast to Willamette and Dr. Doney NEWS that Willamette university has succeeded in rais ing its million dollars of endowment which was required by Tuesday night marks the success of a great effort which has been led by Dr. Carl G. Doney, its president. Through trying times and in, the face of adversity Dr. Doney has directed the affairs of the institution until now it has at tained a firm and sure place as an educational' institution, ranking among the best in the west. The university is now free of debt, its plant is valued at nearly one million dol lars. It is in fine position to expand and develop with the further growth of the territory which it serves. Willamette still has needs. It needs additional buildings, more equipment, additional endowment. A growing institu tion in a growing community will always have needs. Willamette should have more friends in Salens The largest gifts in the recent campaign came from men outside this city who were tremendously interested in the college. So in considering. the future needs of this institution Salem people should realize how much has been done by outside friends of Willamette- and assume for themselves a larger share of the burden. The completion of a great campaign like this is a dis tinguished achievement ; and we congratulate the university and. Dr. Doney for this great accomplishment, so dear to the hearts of all friends of the university. In the Good Old Days PROHIBITION may not prohibit, but we can see some of the beneficient results of prohibition on occasions of gatherings like the state fair. In the "good old days" with open saloons, a fair or a celebration of any sort was usually attended with violent drinking. A day off for tha fair meant a day of drinking, and many a man was unable to show up for work the day after his holiday. v Every crowd had a few drunks noisy and belligerent, and police work was real work on those days. Jails would fill np with men who had become intoxicated. What a contrast then, the orderliness of the average crowd in these days of fprohibition. Women are safe from insult. Children rarely see maudlin drunks and men wal lowing In vomit, " Tht fact is that w now takt thesa conditions for granted; and. do not stop to compare conditions as they . were when saloons were as common as modern gas filling stations. ,. ' 1 In an address at Bond, Div M. B. McDaniol, president oC the Dreg eta State Motor association, advocated the amendment of the "law id an to make careless driving rather than speed in excess of II mites per hoar, subject to penalty. This Is a sensible recom . mendation which The Statesman has Ions favored Remove the . speed limit, though it may be well-to add a provision that la case - or accident the ear traveling la excess of 49 miles would be pre sumptively guilty of megUgeneo la driving.

"Vincent's Angina" U ti infec tious inflammation of the mucous lining ot the tonsils and throat. It la commonly knows as ' t r n e h month." The disease Is - ac companled by great pain. It is sometimes mistaken for diphtheria, but Is caused by a special and pe culiar germ. 'Ulcers and patches ot DQCDPtlAUi pear is the month and throat. There are headache, gen eral discomfort, coated tongue, and high temperature. Very characteristic are the pahi and sweUing in the neck, particularly in the salivary glands under the lower Jaw. The symptoms are long continued and not so severe as in the ordinary types of sore throat. It is a disease that may be as sociated with abscessed teeth, diseased gums and all forms ot dental trouble. Everyone ahould understand what a menace to health a diseased mouth is. The broken snd ulcerated tissues are swimming In pus germs. Such surfaces may become infected at any time with dangerous germs. Persons who are debilitated and who neglect cleanliness ot the mouth are particularly liable to attack by the germs ot Vincent's Angina. There is a close resemblance existing between tonsilitis, diph theria and Vlncent'a Angina. It is only In the laboratory that the true nature ot the disease can be determined. For this rea son any unusual throat trouble should come under a doctor's care. Then if the disease Is found to be Vincent's Angina the patient should be under strict supervision until all the sympt oms have disappeared. There are two forms of the dis ease. The first is the superficial type, in which there is simple ul ceration. In another form the deeper tissues are Involved. Immediate attention must be given to the patient's general con dition. Teeth 'and gums ahould be looked after by a competent dentist. It is particularly impor tant to have the patient see to It that here is utmost cleanliness ot the mouth and Infected tract. The tonsils, mouth and throat must be kept clear of the mem brane. A cleansing: spray, wash or gargle should be used. The patient should avoid the use of alcohol and tobacco dur ing the progress of the disease. The physician will advise about the-diet. It does not pay to take chances when there la any serious throat trouble. It is Important to have a doctor on the case. There la always the possibility of diphtheM la if the attack does not prove to be Vincent's disease. Yesterdays ...

Neil is all right until she spies a "swell" rid ing a horse. Neil chides Ardeth jealously. The next day Ardeth sees a picture of Ken Gleason, the man on the horse, in the roto gravure aection and her heart thumps. But Ardeth comes to earth with the usual bickering with Bet about stockings. Jean ette Parker calls at the store where Ardeth works and offers the latter a job In the "swell" shop, she Is starting. Ardeth ac cepts. Neil objects to Ardeth'a plans and they have s row. Ar deth meets Ken when he visits the shop. Shortly after, knowing that Jeanette haa left for the day, Ken calls at the shop, feigning that he had planned to drive Jeanette home. He asks Ardeth to go Instead. Next day. Ken plans a foursome of Ardeth, Jeanette, his friend, Tom Corbett, and him self. Jeanette and Tom are unable to go, so Ken is alone with Ar deth. They picnic together, their hearts racing with each other's nearness. Unable to resist, Ken kisses Ardeth. CHAPTER 11 The sunny marsh beyond the deck rail empty blue sky Ken's face bending over her all swam in a dizzy swirl to Ardeth. The smell of peeling paint . . . warm grass . . . soft lipping ot water on the prow of a boat ever arter these things could flash this scene back; could send the same hot magic leaping through her blood. A breathless hush closing down about them, shutting them in with the drowsy hush of the Jay. Ardeth's head was flung back in complete surrender. She gave up her lips to Ken's kiss as eag erly as the parched earth drinks rain. The next moment reason re awoke. She .forced herself out of the man's arms with a little gasp. "h!" she said. "Oh!" and she gave a Bhaky laugh. He did not respond. His eyes were dark his Hps compressed. "You darling..." His hand shook as it went over the shin ing mass of her hair. "DarUng." She was in his arms again, and after a moment her own arms crept up about his neck. A long moment they 6tood silent In the sunshine. Ken's face was burled in her hair. His breath was hot on her ear. She could feel the pumping of his heart shaking them both. In her heart Joy so keen that it was pain. She was trying to realize that . . . Ken this was Ken who held her in a fierce em brace. Ken's arms Imprisoning her his voice a husky whisper "Darling, you darling." He was kissing her closed eye lids. Ardeth felt that little ever so little would make her cry. Then he was kissing her again crushing her lips until they hurt. And surging through her Mood, a .primitive exultation of strength. A moment sweet and heady car rying her oat of herself so that she elung like a wild thing, giv ing him back his kiss with equal ardor. It was the man who finally drew away. He released her so suddenly that It left her startled. He turned away-r-walked to the rail and lit a cigarette. The girl had sunk back on the couch, a crimpled little heap, watching him with deep eyes. Wlt,h he lighted Cigarette Ken came back and sat fnwn heatiiA her.

And he was on fire again. "The sweetest thing in the world!" he said between clench ed teeth. "All day I've been fight ing to keep my hands off of you. I wanted to kiss you the first time I saw you I wanted to reach in the window and pull you out ' "That wasn't the first time," she eaid faintly. "No," he agreed more steadily. "I saw you first in the park. We looked at each other and I couldn't get you out of my head all day." He gave a harsh little laugh. "And what a scowl I got from the fellow you were with! He could have killed me!" The thought of Neil intruding between them; spoiling the en chantment of the moment. Ardeth made a little impatient gesture. "Oh he doesn't count. Just a friend," she evaded. They avoided the other's eyes. Both stared out over the marsh. Still. So thrilllngly still. The sunshine had deepened in tone it had taken on the deep golden ting of afternoon a mellow tone somehow sad. Miles of sunbaked saw-grass and blue bay an emp ty world and in the center of it, Just they two . . . Ken had pitched his cigarette over the rail. She felt his eyes oa her face. Then again she was drawn Into his arms. His ardent face poised -Just above her own; between his narrowed lashes his eyes were as dark as ink. "Crazy about you, Moth!" His voice shook though he tried to make It light. "Like me a little?" "A little " She tried to smile and knew her lips were trembling. "A lot?" "A lot." His breath was warm on her Hps. "You're beautiful. Moth. Too darn beautiful! There ought to be a law against you!" She tried to smile and felt the tears sting her eyes. "As beauti ful as Cecile Parker?" She could not help that slipping out. A small silence dropping be tween them. Darkening the day. His arms slipped frqm her. He sat upright and his eyes went out across the marsh. "Cecile . . . His voice was dry "What brought her to your mind?" Ardeth moistened her Hps. Her ey:s were fastened on hla tense profile. "Oh nothing. Just because you were with her that day I saw you in the park, I suppose. You you're great friends, aren't you?" "Oh, sure," he answered care lessly. "The Parkers are old fam ily friends of ours. There's just Mother and me left In our fam ily, you know. When I finished my engineering eourse at college, I went into Mr. Parker's office. They've all been mighty decent to Mother and me." .

"You thought I was rolling in money like the Parkers?" he finished the thought for her "Thanks tor the compliment. I'm Just a poor working man. Moth. Supporting my mother like the heroes of the Honry books I used to read when I was a kid." Something odd in hla tone when he spoke of his mother. Ar deth looked up quickly. He was staring across the marshes lost in thought. His eyes were narrow ed painfully. Just a fleeting expression, gone as soon as she noticed it gone as the cloud shadows passed over the sloughs. As though he felt her eyes, he looked down and his arms tight ened about her shoulders. Blue fires kindled in his eyes and he smiled. "Why all the conversation, sweetheart, when I could be kiss ing you?" (To be continued) FENG STILL ACTIVE SHANGHAI. Oct. 1 (AP). Contradicting nationalist state ments he was about to surrender.

S S That is the greatest marker of progress in the long history of Willamette; though it is not any more remarkable than many drives that have gone before, from the beginning, nor attended by a greater degree of self sacri fice.

That evi dently meant that the news re porter figured the time between the organizing meeting of the Oregon Institute, that became by change of name Willamette uni versity, on February 1, 1842, and the admission of Oregon as a state February 14, 1859. That makes the 17 years, with s few days over. , ' But Willamette university is really older than that. It dates back to June 15. 1834, when Ja son Lee stepped over the Rockies. And stil further back, when, in 1824 and 1826. and again in 1829 Jedediah Smith planted the seeds of the Christian religion In the minds of the Indians of the upper Columbia region, snd sent their representatives in 1832 looking for the white man's God and the white man's Book of Heaven, starting the movement that brought Lee in answer to that Macedonian call in 1834. Or it started with the first Indian chil dren in the mission in the winter of 1834, or with the Indian school taught by Cyrus Shepard at the old mission, beginning in March, 1835. S U Or one might say it started with the $650 contributed by the Lausanne party at sea in 1839, for educational purposes. Any way. the old school was the first institution of higher learning west of the Mississippi that has persisted and flowered into great ness. And born in the spirit of self sacrifice, it has flourished ia that spirit to this day and may it never lose the sanction of that glory. fr Willamette is more than a school with a productive and per petual endowment fund of a mil lion and three quarters dollars. Its total assets are at least two and a half million.
