GIFTS FOB MOTHER
THOUGH
Suggestions Offered to Help
Those Distracted With
Gift Problem
By. OUVB M. DOAK
To continue, with "the Christ
mas shopping problem there is
one person in the fortunate fam
ilies whose Christmas deserves a
deal; of thought. That . person Is
mother. She will -very likely say;
"don't get me anything if or.
vnnsunas. z wonia ratner,yoa
spent the money for yourself, or
spend it for the children they
enjoy their presents so much. .
- Children do enjoy presents Jtnt
it is safe to wager, that there is
no one who enjoys more the
thoughtfulness of " her ' family
than the mother, " .To get just
something eut of the ' ordinary
that requires some -thought and
real love will- be in a tiny" way
showing an appreciation 'for the
unselfish . regard for. her .family
that is. a . part ' ot . every real
mother. .. . . ,.
Bat what to get aer? First a
"don't don't ' get her some
thing for the house? ' Get her
something that - is ' her very own.
She has shared and does share
all the- time for her Christmas
get something ' that -is Individual
and ' something which .- she most
likely would not think she should
buy" for 'herself. - - - - - .-.
s . Flowers' are lovely things to
give the mother who has, by good
fortune, finances, that, enable her
to have nearly everything she
wants. Flowers express so much
that Is lovely and which cannot be
said. Books If she' is the mother
who has time to read, are delight
ful presents, as are unusual mag
azines which may be subscribed
for. .
Perfume is another thing that
a great number of mothers would
not think of buying for them-,
selves. It is risky business buying
perfume for another but If you
have studied the tastes of "moth
er" you could not go wrong by
buying a good perfume if you
haven't much money- to spend
don't buy a "big bottle" but get a
small bottle of very good perfume.
Vanity accessories would not go
amiss for many more mothers
than people are aware of. Be
cause mother stopped primping
when then there was so much to
do in rearing the family and so
many places for the pennies, is
no conclusive eign that she lost
the desire definitely. Encourage
her a bit and see what happens.
Pretty "undies" are another
thing that would be an excellent
gift for many a mother. If there
is not much money to spend, by
looking diligently, in shops, most
attractive handkerchiefs may be
found that may be expressive of
mother's tastes, as may a bit of
Jewelry if she likes that sort of
thing at all.
And you might. look into the
matter of her. favorite artists
perhaps there la a picture that
she wants especially. To have it
given is much nicer than to buy
it. I know a place where you
can get - some most attractive
block prints done by a 'rather
well known artist for fifty cents.
Sounds cheap but they would
make a pretty and intimate gift
if that was all you had to spend.
There are Other etchings and
paintings in the same place that
run up Into the hundreds so you
can satisfy the possibilities of
your purse, you see.
Whatever you "give mother
though, make it something Inti
mate, something that has taken
thought and expresses real ap
preciation for her.

The larger towns will not send in

closed.
The goal for the sale this year
was seven per capita, on the 10,
000 inhabitants of the county.
On this population basis, at least
$3,000 worth of seals must be
sold to retain the rating of last
year.
The county chairman urges
that all who intend to purchase
seals to help the fight against tu
berculosis do so Monay. In be
half of the county public health
association and the many volun
teer workers, she extends appre
ciation to the publie for the re
sponse already maae.
Tho seal sale proceeds go
largely toward the program to
stamp out tuberculosis In Marlon
county, and pay salary for one
sane who is working to that
end. Many patients are caught
in the schools or In homes where
there is no suspicion at all of the
disease, thus affording the pub
lic greate protection against tu

T GETS DEEDS
Tbe county court yesterday re
ceived deeds to two of tbe fonr
pieces of right-of-way which have
been -in dispute on tne Detroit-
Whitewater section of the North
Santiam highway. .
After several conferences, Wil
liam O. Self ert and C. EL- Wester-
berr. who had filed appeals from
the court's ' orlainal allowance
for damages, agreed - to accept
new terma and - handed over
deeds. ' In. both Instances, the
setuemeat made - varies but
slightly from the proposals first
made by the court. ? , - y .'v
Under the new agreement. Set-
fert receives $4So in cash. A
aundred dollars of thle anronat
was : originally allowed by the
court as damages, and the county
offered to remove buildings, fox
pens and build, new fences. Un
der the new terms, Self ert la to
receive SS0 . to -move the peas
and dear the right-of-way for
the road. Westerberg will also
be - given a cash sum . to move
buildings whiah stand en the site
of the. proposed road. Originally,
thd county offered to do this.
The two appeals on this road
which are bow pending are those
ot William Hefner and Wallace
Henderson, both ot when are
seeking 200 damages. Hender
son's case was recently taken to
Benton county on change of yen
ue, but has not yet been tried
there. Viewers allowed - Hefner
$50 an acre for all land taken,
with the same , ' proposition to
Henderson : " .
Despite the fact that these road
matters are being ironed out, it
is not probable that work on the
highway will get under way un
til early spring, for only the pre
liminary survey haa been made
and there Is no estimate on which
to base contract bidding. Besides,
the court holds, it would not be
feasible to put men to work on
road construction in this region
at this time of year on account
ot weather, problems.
The claims on the Niagara
Mill City sector, of the Santiam
highway are also practically all
settled now.
SEATED AT TABLE
William Tanner, 71, McCoy
street, was found dead In his
home Saturday afternoon, with
all indications pointing to accl
dental death caused by escaping
gas.
The man, who had been in Sa

dead seated at the table, which
had been set for a meal for one.
Bacon was in a frying pan on the
stove and potatoes In the oven,

Taylor who investigated believes,
that death occurred last night
while Tanner was preparing his
evening meaL
Because the body was found at

out .before it, it is supposed he
had started preparations for the
meal, lighted the gas store, and

the state board ot control asking
that all bids submitted by the
concern for . furnishing . supplies

criticism of Julias U. Meier, governor-elect,
or members . ot the
board of control. The bids were
opened December J. and. Meter ft

Officials are barred from selling

CHECK FI LOSSES
Just as soon as debris can b
cleared away from the ruins -of '
the F. N. Derby building at Com
mercial and Front streets, recon
struction of the structure will be
begun. Insurance adjusters were
here yesterday checking the loss,
preparatory to making settlement
with Derby and with the Charles
R. Archerd company. " .
Believing that the fire ef
Thursday nlgbt was assuredly in
cendiary, Salem police were
checking all clues Saturday but
had no additional Information on
the starters of the fire. A report
was looked into without result to
the effect that two men were seen
near the building shortly before
the fire started. The men were
said to have repelled the Inquiry
of a third man by cursing him
and refusing to ssy anythiot
about their business.
