Issues in Congress ID EG ARDLESS of the division of power in the next con Lv gress, the closing session of the present congress will -be face to face with numerous questions, .centering around 1 ha. problems of farm relief and unemployment. The Hooy-T-Jardin-MeNary plan has thus far proven an abject. fail ure in boosting the prices ot farm commodities, and already there are threats of a revival of the export debenture plan or the equalization fee. Senator Borah has declared his in tention of promoting the export debenture program and IJenator McNary was quoted once from Oregon City as fav oring further and more radical action "if the farm relief plan does not work." I The Kelley charges .against Secretary of the Interior Wilbur will probably be taken up by a senatorial investi gating committee. Legislation dealing with power and per il aps with holding companies may be set up for considera tion. A recent dangerous opinion of the attorney-general iu the New river case threatens the public interest in its in terpretation of the federal power act; and if it stands, ahould call for remedial legislation. Congress may be depended upon to sidestep the prohi bition question through the coming short session. It may become an issue in the next congress, but it will be post poned as long as possible .in spite of the agitation of radi cal wets. There is little to reassure President Hoover that con- gress will be any more friendly to him or his measures than in the previous sessions; and we fancy he looks for ward to the sitting of that body with no little trepidation. If he could nucleate about himself some of the ablest of the younger senators and representatives and adopt an ag gressive policy he might swing congress and the. country. Nothing will be gained by merely letting discordant groups f that body jangle and impede progress. The president has now passed his apprenticeship. The coming short session is going to be the test for millions of Itis fellow citizens as to his powers and capacities for polit ical leadership and executive direction of affairs. A Perfunctory Gesture? mHE "Nation". New York, offers the following comment J. respecting the suggestion of the British foreign office that visiting officials be relieved any obligation to pay hon ors at the tomb of the unknown soldier, a subject which was discussed editorially in these columns last week: "The British foreign office has made what, from an official source, sounds like a surprisingly sensible suggestion. It Is that henceforth visiting officials feel no obligation to lay a wreath at the tomb of the Unknown Warrior or at other war memorials. The proposal was made first as a gesture "toward the eradication of the memories of the Great War", bnt this somewhat unfortunate word ing was later modified, after protests from various sources, to be read as the elimination of meaningless ceremonies which might tend to keep allre war animosities while at the same time doing nothing to strengthen Teneratlon or grief for the millions of men who died. Nobody wanta them to be forgotten; they ought to be remembered always, as a lesson In "war costs' and a warning to future generations. But the business of laying a wreath at the gray of the unknown soldier is in danger of becoming a mere per functory gesture which every public man makes when be wanta bis picture in the rotogravure section of the Sunday newspapers. In so far as It is merely such a gesture, the British government should be heartily supported in criticism of it. It the unknown soldier could arise out of his marble tomb and speak his mind. It is by no means unlikely that he would say he wanted none of these empty honors but rather the assurance that future generations would not have to Imitate his sacrifice. It is well to remember the dead in order that they shall not have died in vain.' The rJext Big Event SALEM'S next big event is the Willamette-Whitman foot ball game November 22nd. All Salem is planning to get -behind Willamette and make this a real day with a crowd to break all records at Sweetland field. The chamber of com 'merce, civic clubs, etc., are uniting in promoting the game, giving it special advertising and publicity. Ten thousand people are wanted at the game that day. When the Portland games this fall have drawn crowds of over 30,000, it seems as though Salem and the Willamette valley ought to rally to this great college conference game, the championship event, and turn out ten thousand strong. Check it on your calendar . . . November 22nd. Buy a ticket and be ready to shut up shop for the afternoon and take in the game. - , I " ' Cuba is an example of bow to hold elections.

Not so long ago the medical profession removed the offending tonsil and considered It quite a minor por tion. Today, while the opera tion is quite safe, and calls for no special worry, yet the nhrsielan looks r 11 upon it as a bit of major sur gery and: goes about It with deliberate care. Many cases of tonsil Infec tion do not de mand operation. : But, N if after careful watching, your physician tells you that you better hare your tonsils removed, be Is try ing to save you from something much worse than a alight opera tion. The tonsiis are mado up of fi brous tissue and in them are deep pockets which run deep down in to the tonsil. The warm mucus and bits of food that may lodge In these pockets form nesting places for germs and are apt to hatch poisons. These poisons are taken up by the blood stream and car ried to every part of the body. Diseased tonsils may result in rheumatism, heart disease, eo!ds and sore throat, eye or ear trou bles, nervousness, dizziness and plenty of other troubles. "If you have pains in your joints and any of the bad feelings I have de scribed your doctor will look for the cause in tonsils or teeth or both. Many a child la uncommonly susceptible to colds. This condi tion may lead to many other even more serious ailments unless It Is checked and the cause found and. removed. The common cold keeps more children out of school than all other childhood diseases put together. Perhaps the tonsils are at fault. child may have enlarged soft tonsils and a bad throat. They are a menace to health and the ton sils hay have to-be removed la this case. Very often the tonsils are deep ly embedded in ths surrounding tissues., Then if they become- in fected they are exceedingly dan gerous, for they are capable of injecting proportionately larger abounts of poison into the system because of their deepseated posi tion. Such tonsils are responsible for a great deal of rheumatism and heart disease Many cases of heart disease in children are due to imbedded and infected tonsils. The glands of the neck act as filters of the blood and lymph from the throat and nose. When these glands become Infected re moval of the tonsils often effects a cure. Treatment by the X-ray is be coming more and more universal not only in tonsil treatment bnt in many other conditions where the restoration of normal tissue is necessary. It becomes import ant in shrinking too large and soft tonsils that endanger the health and in treatment of the throat after tonsil removal in order to make the throat more resistant to infections. If the tonsils are diseased or are not self cleansing then the sooner we get rid of them the better. Most of us hate facing the truth but It Is far better to have a lit tle discomfort for two or three days than to go on for years hav ing bad health. The after-care of tonsil removal is Important. In the case of a child he should be kept in bed for sev eral days or In an easy chair out of doors in fine weather. It Is sur prising with modern methods of procedure in this operation, how soon the patient recovers. He is soon set to work to eat and chew, for this gives proper exercise to the throat muscles. Answers to Health Queries M. T. Q. Is it harmful to eat ordinary starch? 2 What can be done for, an oily skin. A. Yes. It would be very Indi gestible and therefore not prop erly assimilated by the system. Without knowing the facts in the case it would be difficult to give further advice along these lines. 2 Correct the diet, cutting down on fats and rich foods and keep the system clear. For full particulars send a self-addressed stamped envelope and repeat your question, - Mrs. P. Q. What will reduce the weight? I have been dieting for four weeks and have lost eight pounds- is this sufficient? Is cof fee fattening? A. Cutting down on sweets and starches and taking some reg ular exercise daily should reduce the weight safety and sanely. A loss of two pounds weekly is very reasonable it is unwise to lose tjo rapidly. No. but if taken with bread and sugar and used in ex cess, it will add to the weight.

THE END OK ,1 HK I KAltt 'J" 1 "GIRL UNAFRAID" fcSiT CHAPTER 40 Never before had Ardeth known Jealousy like this. Fierce, corrod ing jealousy, sweeping over her like a hot wind, leaving a desert In its wake. Jeanette's words echoing in her ears. Cecils . . . Cecile to have a child . , . Ken's child! She pulled off her hat. Her coat. Walked to a mirror and re arranged her hair. Her hands were shaking. To the white faced reflection which looked back from the mirror she whispered with stiff lips. "Well . . what is it to you? What can you do about it? His wife ..." Forcing back scalding tears, trying to swallow 'the painful lump in her throat. Not even that time when she crouched in the church and watch ed Ken married had been worse than this. Nothing of the roman tic girl about Ardeth in this mom ent. 6he was all primitive woman savage, despairing. "No!" she was crying wildly5 in her heart. "No she has no right! My child mine Later the hot jealousy died. The wind had blown itself out, leaving! dreadful stillness in its wake. Hatred even against the child of the future. A change in Ardeth dating from that day. Unsuspected, some yestige of hope had remained. Perhaps Ken was not forever lost to her. People who were married, sometimes disagreed, separated married others and were happy. But now she felt that he was truly lost to her. She must go on alone along the road they had hoped to travel together. Always a shadow underlying the golden eyes now. A touch of gentle dignity In her manner. Many noticed it and put It down to the responsibility of man aging the shop. For Ardeth had bought The Caprice. Jeasette had been entranced at the idea of getting rid of the place so easily. She was entirely engrossed in her lates whim a Poetry Club of earnest females, who planned to tour Europe and visit the shrines of the great poets. Not that Jeahette had ever written verse. But then, neither had the other members. But they intended to do so some day when they had the time. And Just now the club answered Its pur pose In enabling Jeanette to adopt a calm and detached attitude to mundane things, and to be exas- paratlngly placid and high-mind-. ed on her Infrequent visits to Ce cile.

Tom, who had come in at the last moment, leaned back on his el bows and watched' the girl. The copper light of sunset struck through the one narrow window and turned Ardeth's hair to ruddy gold. Her eyes were glowing topazes as she looked fondly about her. "My very own , . she said softly. Then, in a tone grown more practical. "The first thing I'm going to do is give up the Smokerie. I've always hated it. It just encourages gossip. Some of those women get together and chop up reputations as though they were chopping hash! You should have heard Malda Duvant and that fat Mrs. Curtis In here yesterday snickering orer the lat est Spy." "I hate that rotten magazine," Tom put in heatedly. "It's never going to come in here again!" Ardeth's tone was grim. She was remembering the insinuating notice which had ap peared about herself and Ken. "I don't care if It loses trade, I'm going to give up the Smokerie!" She kept that resolution. The back room reverted to type. Down came the hangings of the Orien tal den. It became Ardeth's Uvlng quarters. This was part of her. pro gramme of strict harmony. What she saved by giving up her hotel room played a large share In pay- in Iter ears ccile Ken'g ing Ah Ling's salary each month. It was no hardship to live in back of the shop, close to all she held dear In the world. The couch served as her bed. The one win dow, looking on the narrow alley admitted air. If not light. Tom scowled on the arrange ment. "Good Lord! It's worse than the maid's room at my sis ter's! Her room is small, but it gets sun and air. Don't be stub born. Ardeth. Let me pay Ah Ling's salary and get an apart ment. But she was determined. "Please remember, you're sup posed to bo the silent partner in this firm decidedly silent!" "But Ardeth" Tom protest ed and his face was woeful. "Gosh Just thinking of you Hy ing in this dump keeps me from having any fun at all! I can af ford It and what good ia all this lousey money piling up in the bank? Don't yon know that mon ey's no good to me it I can't buy a Kttle comfort for you " There was a note in his voles which warned the girl that an other of Tom's periodic propos als was due and she backed away in mock alarm, shaking her head violently. "No! No! No! I know what I am doing. I have system all figured out. And it you're so set on doing something tor me come down in the store and nail a packing case. I split 's thumb naU and Ah Ling smashed a finger on the darn thing!" Below the reformed Smokerie was the store-room a dismal cemented basement lit by a dangling electric light. A short flight of steps led to the upper world, and when the door was open dark and musty smells breathed from it. At night when Ardeth lay on the couch she could hear the mlee scampering over the pack ing cases down there, could even hear their infinltesmal squeaks through the thick stillness. It worried Tora to think of her down there in the deserted busi ness district. Worried Mary East wood too..

Illinois with his family and those of his son, Joseph, and his sons-in-law, Ellas Brown and Peter Polley. He brought the goods for his store In ox wagons across the plains in the immigration of 1817, that doubled the population of the Oregon of that day, with the 500 new arrivals from beyond the Missouri. x Mr. Cox intended to establish i. ! rtnra at rhiimDoee. which was then the metropolis of Oregon, but finding business overdone there came on to "The Institute," what became Salem was then a.lled the Oregon Institute, which by change or name in xssa became Willamette r- yvnixt s two story wooden building at what became Commer cial and Ferry streets; on me w ner opposite to and south of where the Marion hotel is now. Th second floor was used as a dwelling for the family; the first floor for the store. The Cox store was only Just op ened for business when, Nov. 29, 1847, was perpetrated the Whit man massacre, quickly followed by the Cayuse war. Mr. Cox had manufactured gunpowder in Illin ois, and brought a considerable quantity of powder and balls with htm, tor sale from his store here. The struggling colony, headed by the provisional government, un dertook a comparatively gigantic task in prosecuting that war, without means or supplies, ex cepting such ss the settlers them selves had or pledged and they were allat that time poor In near ly exerythlng except courage and unselfish services. So the pow der and other supplies needed In fnrnuitinv th brave soldlera starting in the midst of winter to hold back and punisn me iiena lsh Indian tribes were invaluable but Mr. Cox furnished these to the limit of his supplies, without charge. He helped in this way to save the valley settlements from bloody massacre for the Cayuse chiefs had a plan on foot to bring 2000 tribesmen from east of the Cascades and complete what they had started in the Whitman massacre wipe out all the American white settlers. That was the first store In Sa lem Mr: fnr trndd for a farm. He had brought peach slips and seeds from Illinois. He originat ed the still famous Cox cling peaches of Oregon. He went to the California mines with the gold rush of 1818, made a good clean up. and came back by way of San Wranrtarn In 1R49. hrlnHnr large stock of goods bought in that city with his gold dust, for the Salem store. The second store In Salem was started in 1849. by J. B. McClane, on Boon's Island. What was known as Boon's Island was a piece of land on the west side of the extension of North .Liberty street, across North Mill creek, and the "Island" was made by North Mill ' creek and the mill race for the mission mills, that Tan between what Is now 980 Broadway and the Larmer ware house; between what was the Ja son Lee house and the mission mills. These were - the first two buildings erected In what is now Salem, in 1840, after the coming of the Lausanne with the ma chinery for the mills.

In 1849. J. D. Boon kept the territorial treas ury and the postotnee in mat house. t n xfrPlana came with the iaf rwrA" waron train to the Oregon country in 184S; the Ap- plegate train. He ciaimea io h.n in th lead that he "broke the first sags brush trail west of Fort Hall" disputing inn ciaiin with Thomas D. Kaiser, after whom the Kaiser bottom was named. McClane married Helen C. Judson, daughter of Lewis II. Jiidnon. on of the missionaries coming on the Lausanne. He and his wife succeeded to the dona tion claim right of Lewis II. Jud son. They thus had a claim to all of what Is now the northwest ern part of Salem a mile square, 840 acres. McClane had. corns from Philadelphia. He went back on a business trip, and J. D. Boon "jumpea ' nis ciaim ana this brought on litigation' that .waa not compromised for If years; started in 1851 and was settled la 1889. McClane platted the land that mill nn noon's Island In 1851. attA called It Salem, thoueh this was done the next year after the mam saiem townsits was piattea. So there were (and are) two Sa lem townslte plates on record. Mc Clane claimed that Boon's Island was the- original town. And it was. for that matter. The plat of North Salem was filed before the one, even, of the main Salem. m So 'J. B. McClane established the aeoond general store here; though some goods and supplies had been sold and dispensed from the Lee house before even the store of Thomas Cox was opened -In the fall of 1847 yet, six years before. .But the mission supply store could scarcely be called a general store. ' V The third store was the one of David Carter and Joseph Hoi man, the. partnership agreement for which was published yester day in this column. .That store was located near where the water company's office now stands on the corner of Trade and Commer cial streets; the east side. David Carter did not live long after that. He died late In 1849 or In 1850. Joseph Holman continued the business and he became one of the most active men -and boost ers of early Salem. The fourth store was that of J. D. Boon and Philester Lee, at the northeast corner of Commercial and Cheme keta streets. Who were David Carter and Joseph Holman? (This will be continued tomor row.)
