gave out from time to time, leading- people to think that
I the industry was a gold mine for the state.and that event
' ually the earnings would just about support the whole in
1 atitution. .--. -
I The situation at the state flax plant is the same as
that found at the Oregon Linen mills at the end of the Bar-
or hocked and
current liabilities high. As a .financial manager. Bartram
is a" star performer on the red; ink side. It may be that
in other lines of the enterprise he has been of value to the
state. Supt. Henry Myers firmly believes so; but Mr. Myers
Is about the only person who possesses such confidence in
. . a-, m. . a a a 1 1 f .
trie coioneL it is quite apparent tnav wun kbuciju was w
confidence in Mr. Bartram, j which the sad showing of the
audit will augment, his connection with! the flax industry
should terminate. ) , L .
. 1 Under the right management it would seem that the
flax! industry should meet all its operating costs. The plant
has no rent or taxes to zyy gets its prison labor for a
scant wage; has no interest tor dividends to pay on a large
portion of its investment. jl m '
" Quite aside from its financial results however, the in
dustry should be continued and supported for its value to
the institution and its potential value to the state. It sup
plies employment to prisoners, keeps them occupied, main
tains morale. "Without this I industry the problem of con
fining 800 prisoners in the old plant would be a serious one
indeed.-i . v:'" '
Again, the flax industry is pointing the way toward a
possible great development of agriculture and industry in
this! valley. Its pains have been the pioneering pains both
on the farmings end, the processing of the fibre and on the
iinen end of the industry. Serious mistakes have been made,
but the success of the one friant here, the Miles Linen com
pany, reveals the possibilities when the industry can be re
' organized. ,
That reorganization will have , to . begin at the state
flax plant, and a fine start has been made in-employing L.
Li Laws as cost accountant. Eventually the Oregon Linen
plant must be reorganized, and supplied with fresh capital
and new looms. These changes must be made. It is no time
to rock the boat; and solely: because of our devotion to the
flax-linen industry, we havej kept from "rocking the boat."
But the job has to be done, and those in positions of re-
jmrtnirifHtv in f Via inHnstrvi will .nv- trt tin it.

r - A Business Executive
GOVERNOR Meier is now on the right track.
He asks the ways and means committee to give him
$20,000 for a study of stat administration, expressing the
belief that it will be returned three times over. We think
the amount should be allowed and, we are confident he will
deliver the goods. f j ;
: Here is a field where Meier should be quite at home.
-He is distinctly jthe business executive, and has a merch
ant's instincts for getting ia dollar and a half s worth Lof
goods and services for the dollar that he pays put. In this
role i we can see the governor making a great success, j
He can stop- junketing j trips of state officials; he can
call for tightening up of departmental expenditures; re
lease of drones from the payroll; stepping up of efficiency
in service. In the field of political juggling ajid on intricate
questions of power regulation the governor lacks special
. knowledge, but as 'an administrator he is thoroughly com
petent and at home; and if his courage holds out, he can
render the state a fine service. . i

HEALTH
! today's Jane ?
By R. S. Copcland, If. D.
It is strange how many persons
bare no Interest In the sort of
air they breathe. They appear
perfectly 1 Indif
ferent to an at
snosphere . that
yon could "cut
with, a knife.-
They will sit
for hours in a
room blue with
tobacco smoke.
or In air tilled
with dust.
The r e are
persons . w h o
sleep all night
long with every
window : closed.
There are lots
of them, i They
seem sot to know or -cars that
the air is. perfectly vile. , : 1-
All I can sar la they are laying
up trouble and misery tor them
selves , and their -families, r Un
less you are built like a savage,
you cannot have good health: with
out a lot of fresh air in the house
day and night, i Ton should make
it a point to have some ventila
tion, whether it Is by way of win
dows or doors or by some artifi
cial means. j , . I , j: .
Of course. It you are so fortun
ate as to hare a house installed
with modern ventilation, yon are
to be congratulated. But few have
adequate ventilating systems, so
that the only means of having
fresh air is by way of the window
or door. ' "j . , j i
The man who Is accustomed to
a well-ventilated home will not
tolerate his office or place of
business to be choked all day long
with stale air, dust or smoke;. He
will insist on having the windows
open. To breathe over and:, over
the irritating air for hours ,4s to
damage the . delicate membranes
of nose, throat and lungs. The
eyes will suffer.
Many of the too prevalent colds
of winter may be traced to -vitiated
air air without life. Living
in a room or house without jprop
er ventilation Is dangerous, r
I beg of you not to permit your
self and your "family to be housed
In stuffy rooms. The idea? way
to lire is to 'have your home so
well heated that you can have
every room ventilated by having
at least one slightly open window.
There is nothing in the World
so good as fresh air for man wo
man and child. Next to eating. It
la the most important factory in
insuring good health. :
&)ress yourself warmly enough
so that you can enjoy the jtresh
air. Build up resistance to dis
ease by getting out of doors and
breathing the right kind of sir In
doors. every day, , every night.
For the sake of your health do
this, and get proper exercise,
while you are doing it. j
It isn't necessary to sit 'in a
draught, and you shouldn't. There
are shields and other devices to
direct the currents of air to the
celling. Give thought to the prob
lem and, you can work out some
plan of your own to get fresh air
without chill.

"Murder at
Following a party at Eagle's
Nest, the home of wealthy Emily
Hardy, the Baroness von Wiese is
found murdered. Bhima Martin,
yoons; newspaper reporter, nick
named "Blm" a guest at the par
ty, assists her fiance, Walter
Vance, assistant chief of police,
in unraveling the mystery. Bint
identifies the shawl wrapped
around the Baroness as ' Mary
Frost's. Mary's husband. Ted,
had been attentive to the Baron
ess. Bim had noticed Emily's
butler and the Baroness, at the
party. In secret conversation and
recalled the maid's scream when
she,' too. found them together. A
strip of uniform linen Is . found
in the shrubbery. The police
learn that the Baroness' maid
was not in her room that night.
The butler denies receiving a note
from the Baroness. Bim discov
ers cuts on the maid's head and
arm. she refrains from telling
the police. ' The doors to the Bar
ones' room are found locked from
the inside and her jewels stolen.
The Jewel case Is found outside
the window. Bim believes - they
would have the guilty party if
they could find the person whom
the Barones met In the Summer
house. The Frosts- are called.
Bim questions Maiy about her
shawl. "
CHAPTER XI '
It Bim had halt hoped for a
8 harp reaction on' Mary's part
when she mentioned the Spanish
shawl the shawl which now
shrouded the figure which lay
beneath the sheet out . In - the
summer house she was disap
pointed. Nothing more than a look of
puzzlement crossed the face of
Mrs. Frost, though directly this
had vanished something more
definite a wariness perhaps, took
it place.; ; . j
Happening to glance at Walter,
however, Bim saw that he was
watching Ted and her gaze fol
lowed his with the result that she
experienced a thrill of astonish
ment. ' - . 1 '
For, unlike Mary who seemed
to feel only mild Interest In what
had happened to her shawl, Ted
was plainly - anxious. . Now. for
the first time since he had step
ped into the roam, he was sitting
bolt upright, a hint of tension
about -his out-thrust Jaw and his
eyes fixed upon his wife. '
The'Mlsslns: Shawl
' ' Mary seemed unconscious of
his attitude as she spoke quickly
and more casually than' she had
done before. dldnt: do- any

clared. "As' a matter of fact I

them starting for home together;

Walter continued to question
Mary, checking the part of her
story which had" to do with time.

terrace. Bim heard Mary say
that neither she nor her husband
had known either of the guests
of honor before last night, and
she heard Ted endorse 5 this
statement. ; civilly enough for
once. - 1 . - . . j
Then she saw something move
outside the window and, slipping
behind the i . hangings, leaned
across the sill Just in time to see
someone disappear around an

the person had been a woman or

she was aware that someone had

She -nodded and said she was

Faust was in the same mood
ag the Eccleslast who wrote: "All
is vanity and a striving after the
wind." He was neither the first
nor the last to yield to the fa
tigue .that comes with baffle
ment In an attempt to ' solve
life's 'great enigmas. Philosophy,
law. -medicine, theology failed to
satisfy the inquiring mind of
Faust,, Just as they have tailed
other Inquirers In all times.
It is the expression of disillu
sionment. Life's springtime sees
the crescent, sees It grow, ' and
looks for the glorious fullness ot
the moon. Maturity sees hopes
disappointed, dreams shattered.
visions clouded, faith In eclipse.
Despair seizes one; the tyranny
of routine breaks one's spirit.
Likewise the bundle ot credos
with which one started the Jour
ney of life may turn to be but a
collection - of supers' ttlons; and
his whole edifice of faith may
crash In ruin.
