Tiio .Anntrv is now nassin? through the period or as
similation, trying to absorb the great increase in stocks.
Vast portions of the increase were carried on borrowed
money, and every slump in price results in the call of loans
and forces the blocks of stock back into the market. Old
man Morgan in the panic of 1907 called it suffering from
"undigested securities" and the phrase has stuck.
A recent writer in the Atlantic Monthly refers to the
"multiplication of the units of speculation' as the final
frenzy of a period of whirlwind speculation. Since the world
war there have been three such periods: commodities in
1919-1920; Florida real estate in 1922-24; and securities in
1927-1929. The "units of speculation" in the case of com
' modities were increased through vast Increase of produc
tion of sugar, rubber, wheat, etc. The units of the Florida
speculation were multiplied by the unlimited opening up of
tracts and lots and cities. The multiplication of stock units
in the last period has already been cited. ' s
The dear American public has learned its lesson in com
modities, in real estate and in stocks, but like the moth and
the flame it always, comes back for more. The lure of quick
profits end easy money is eternal. Let savings accumulate
and they commence to burn for "quick action.? It will not
be many months before the mass of undigested securities
will be out of the way, the good through" proper assimila
tion, into investment and the bad through elimination onto
the dungheap of bankruptcy, and then the public will be
ready for a fresh debauch in some new line of speculation.

Another Callahan Case?
THAT was certainly a sharp harpoon that Corporation
Commissioner Mott buried deep in his ancient enemy,
ex-governor Al Norblad. None of the details connecting Nor
blad with the sale of stock in the promotion of a life insur
ance company to a wealthy Astoria woman was omitted in
the news report handed out by the new corporation commis
l sioner. A high power salesman induced Sadie Crang of As
' toria to turn over $48,600 in bonds in return for stocks of
the Pacific Coast Life Insurance company, ! a local promo
tion enterprise, and the Paramount Life company of Den
ver. The charge was made that Norblad was to get 5 of
the proceeds of all stock sold by the h.p. gent; and that
Norblad sicked this gent on the Astoria lady, later getting
credits on the note he gave for stock in the concern.
Norblad, of course, has not been heard j from as to any
defense he might have. While he may have violated no law,
on the face of the record so far, it would seem that he had
learned little from his experience in the Callahan matter
which went a long ways toward killing his candidacy last
spring. y
It is to be hoped that the authorities are able to locate
this Cunningham-Cooper fellow who talked the woman out
of her forty-eight thousand dollars worth of bonds. Nailing
a few of these glib salesmen would prevent the frauds which
have been all too common in past sales of securities in this
state and elsewhere.- t -
, In this case the woman has gotten a large portion of
her bonds back, and may get out without any loss. She was
one sucker who was more fortunate than most of them.
Today's Trial
TODAY'S trial promises to be more than5 a trial of Supt,
Meyers on charges the nature of which he has not
been apprised. It is a trial also of the board of control It
is a trial of Gov. Meier, whether the tales and the rumors
and the miscellany of yarns he has been listening, to are in
any degree dependable or not, and whether as chief execu
tl7te ha3 erred m Paying heed to them. It is a trial too
of Treasurer Kay who has shown himself a man of strong
mind and independent judgment, who has? held the confi
dence of the people a long time. Having been through
many similar situations and coming to the end of his term
- ot office we fancy that Kay is not particularly disturbed.
It Is a trial too of Secretary Hoss, who has refused to be

Th Importance - ot getting
mothers to nurse their babies nn
til the ninth of tenth month after
birth! cannot
be overempha
sized,! Every
e f f ort should
be made to do
this if I at all
d o s a 1 b 1 e. A
number of rea
sons -A. Will h
discussed why
this should be
done.: ;
Th first and
most impor
tant reason la
because breast
milk Is the
beet food for
Dr. a a oM the baby. It is
exactly adapted In nearly U
eases for the needs of the grow
ing baby. It Is more easily digest-
Led than-; milk from an animal
such as the cow or goat. The com
position of mother's milks is
quite ' different from cows milk.
It contains more sugar and fats
and less proteins. Also the pro
teins differ In the proportion of
casein and albumin content so
that cow's milk Is much harder to
digest. Cow's milk is adapted to
feeding a calf and not exactly
suited to the infant digestive ap
paratus. , ,. ,v. t,1.;; . . t , .I,.; ,!.-. ...J
There is less danger of contam
ination ot food when the. mother
nurses her child. Cow's milk may
carry Infection from the cow and
also there Is the danger of con
tamination through handling the
milk. Breast milk on the other
hand Is practically sterile. i
Breast milk also carries cer
tain substances which help the
baby against Infections. Most ba
bies who nave been nursed show
a much greater resistance against
certain Infections; such as, the
common bowel upsets of the sum
mer time. Breast fed babies are
less apt to contract ma,ny of the
common contagious diseases. I
A few historical Incidents might
be related that show the value of
maternal nursing to the infant
death rates. During the time of
our Civil war a great number of
th cotton mills of ' Lancashire,
England were forced to dose
down because It was Impossible
to get cotton from the states. In
these mills many women were em
ployed and due to the dosing of
cue mills they remained at home.
Many of them, ,; who would , not
otherwise have done so ' while
working, nursed their infants and
the results was that the Infant
mortality rate dropped about SO
per 1.000 births in spite of the
fact that the general mortality
rate increased. Due to "hard
times and privation the general
rate Increased, alarmingly. t
In France it was not unusual
for women to be employed, as
well as men. in Industries and
agriculture. During the siege of
Paris during the Franco-Prussian
war in 1870, no one was allowed
to leave the city. Women stayed
at home and nursed their chil
dren. Due to famine and priva
tion, the general death rate was
appaUing but strange to say the
Infant death rate was lowered. ?
It Is to be remembered that
the present status of artificial
feeding is in a much improved
state. Yet one can say without
fear of contradiction that in
adopting maternal nursing- more
generauy than is. practiced today.
the Infant death rate can be low
ered still more.

hesitated, glancing from
Talbot to the open door. Then,
her obligations as a hostess
weighing . upon her, she reluct
antly rose and entered the house.
Barbara, standing beside a ma
hogany pie crust table, was light
ing another cigarette. Her jade-
green eyes, as she stared at Sal
ly, were no longer Insolent; they
were frightened, pleading.
"Is Mueller really as beastly as
he looks?" ehe asked abruptly.
"Yes." said Sally, flatly.
Why?" -Barbara
flung herself into a

smoked violently for the space of
a 'dozen heartbeats. Then she
pushed herself out of he chair.
"Would he really harm Joan if
he had the opportunity?" she per
sisted. The Confession

demanded Sally, suddenly aware
of the terror in Barbara's eyes.
Barbara drew a long breath
and tried to meet Sally's straight
forward gaze, but her eyes shift
ed miserably.
t "I've done something rather
terrible, Sally, she whispered.
"And now I'm sorry and afraid."
. "What have you done?" asked
Sally quietly.
. "I told Joan that Dave was
calling her," Barbara confessed,
in a voice hardly more than a
whisper.
i You what?" gasped Sally, not
understanding.
"I sent Joan back into that
empty house. Dave may not have
been there."
"Do you mean to tell me that
you sent her straight into Muel

"I I Barbara's courage
oozed out of her. "She may have

said Sedly.
that's what yachts and maids and
pretty clothes do to one, I'll re
main poverty-stricken for the
rest of my life. At least I'll be
able to sleep at night without
loathing myself! You knew very
well what sort of man . Mueller
was. You were studying him at
the dinner table; I saw you. You
knew that the boys were out
there getting him all stirred up.
What has Joan ever done to you
that you should want to do a
thing like that?"
"She has taken Dave away
from me, Sally," Barbara said
simply. "Dare was mine. He'B al
ways been mine, ever since I can
remember. We've had our little
fights we've always had them,
but they never meant anything.
At first I though that he was In
love with you, then I saw the way
he looked at your cousin and I
knew it was she he loved. And I
eaw him kiss her back there In
that abandoned house."
Sally winced, but her black eyes
did not waver from Barbara's
stormy face.
A Woman Scorned
"Dave isn't a necker." Barbara
continued, "and when I saw that
I" was just too desperate to care
what I did just so long as I got
him away from her, and from this
terrible place." i
"Do -you think Dave would go
back to you now?" asked Sally,
slowly. ' Just tell him what you've
done to Joan and see. ,;
"If I could get him back to civ
ilization. said Barbara dully,
"and put him among ' the people
and the things he's alwajw known
this would seem? like a night
mare." " 5
? "And to get f him away you'd
give Joan to Mueller, said Sally,
wonderingly. "How could he have
ever , loved a girl like you? If
you've ; done ' this, you've done
many other mean and selfish
things. X don't believe he's ever
loved you, ever. I know him bet
ter than you do, even if. you've
thought you've known him all
your life. He's too fine and hon
est and unselfish to ever love
anyone who could think and talk
and act the way you do. No. he
sever loved you. He was Just
used to you. And. not knowing
any other girls, well, bethought
we were all Uke you!
The muffled throbbing ; of a
motor car sounded from the road.
Barbara turned abruptly and ran
out of the room. At the edge-of
the porch she .hesitated, starting
out toward the road. The purring
ot the engine faltered and died
away.
. "Gerry," she called, her voice
shrul with anxiety. "Are Dave
and Joan with you?
Sally, following Barbara to the
steps, saw Gerry's black figure
making rts unsteady way up the
gravel path.
"What's the matter. Baba?"
asked Talbot, tastily, startled by 1
hen frightened yoice.. .

"Gerry, you fool! cried Bar
bara sharply. "Answer me! Are
Dave and Joan with you?"
Gerry hastily replaced in his
pocket the harmonica which was
half way-to his Hps.
""Had an argument with Dave,"
he answered thickly. "Said you
all had to go to St. Petersburg or
somewhere. Rotten shame. I'm
all wound up like an Ingersoll,
ready to go ticking - all over the
place. Now I got to play bus driv
er. Fine night for tight. Moon
all lit up. So am I. Come, on, let's
go places."
"Gerry, please listen," begged
Barbara. "Where are the others?"
"What others?" asked Gerry,
vaguely. "Dave's scouting through,
the groves and having all the fun.
Who what others are you talk
ing about?" ,
"Joan and Hannah!" snapped
Sally, sharply. Where did you
leave them?"
"Didn't leave them anywhere.
Didn't even see them." asserted
Gerry, standing at the foot of the
steps and teetering gently from
toe 1 beet. "Talbot was supposed
to take them home."
Barbara caught her breath.
"Quick,,, Gerry, she gasped.
"Turn your car around. We must
go back and find them."
Talbot gripped her arm. '
"What's all this about?" he de
manded shortly.
"Jean thought she heard
Dave's , voice. explained Sally.
"So she went back to find him.
Hannah is with her." J ,
Barbara dared to breathe again.
It had not occurred to her that
Sally would protect her. . She had
taken the black-haired girl for a
shallow, selfish child who would I
delight In turning the three boys
against her. Now she was grate
ful for' the darkness which hid
her own flaming cheeks.
"Let me get this straight," said
Talbot, gravely. "Joan and the
darkly are back there at the aban
doned house, perhaps in Muel
ler's hands. Is that right?"
Sally nodded.
"Come on Gerry." snapped Tal
bot, "you're going to get all the
action now your drunken heart
desires. Get your - ear turned
around. Quick, now!"
A wide smile appeared on Ger
ry scholarly-looking face.
"Well. he grinned, "what are
you waiting lor?".

(Contlnuiag from yesterday: )
"Mr. Leslie afterwards stated that
he had no recollection till he rose.
and strove to keep above water;
but again sank. utterly hopeless
ot succor. He rose again Just as
the canoe, passing around a large
rock, its prow was thrown with
In his reach. He clutched it with
eager joy, and supported, himself
a moment, gasping for breath,
when he suddenly thought of his
fellow, passenger, and-the exclam
ation ran through his mind, 'what
will the doctor say?' He instantly
lowered himself In the water as
tar as possible, and, still clinging,
with one hand groped about as
weU as he was able, when, as
srovidence would have it. he
grapsed her dress, and succeeded
in raising her to the surface.
VV
"By this time the Indians, ex
pert swimmers, had reached the
canoe; and with their aslstance he
supported his insensible burthen,
and placed her head upon the bot
tom, with her face, just out ot the
water. After a few moments she
gasped feebly, and opening her
eyes, her first words were, "Oh
Mr. Leslie. I've lost my - chUd.
'Pray, do dismiss the thought,' he
said, 'and let us try to save our
selves. . " .- " -'. ;.
"They were wafted a long way
down the river, no prospect offer
ing for their relief. At length they
which had entered the river before
espied, far ahead, the two canoes
them, occupied, as it proved, by
an Indian chief and his attend
ants. Mr. Leslie hallooed to them
with all his remaining strength,
and they hastened towards them,
first stopping to pick up the
trunks and a tew other things,
which had floated down stream.
"When at last they reached the
sufferers, finding them so much
exhausted, the chief cautioner
them to retain their hold, with
out in the least changing their po
sition, while he- towed them
gently and carefuly to the shore.
Here they rested, draining the wa

Indians righted the canoe, which
had been drawn on shore, and, to
tbeir amazement, and almost ter
ror, ther found beneath It the
dead babe, wrapped in its cloak,
having been kept In place by the
atmospheric pressure.
"Mr. Leslie was now uncertain
what course to pursue, and asked
his companion's advice. She toia
him she was desirous of proceed
ing immediately to Fort Vancou
ver, as the had nothing to eat.
no fire, and. to short, had lost so
many of their effects that they
had nothing wherewith to make
themselves comfortable, if they
remained there till the next day.

"Their canoe was a large one,
being about 20 feet in length, and
four in breadth, and was laden
with a bed, -bedding, mats, two
large trunks of clothing, kettles
and dishes, and -provisions to last
the crew throughout the Journey,
and also articles of traffic with
the natives and they lost all but
the trunks, the contents ot which
were now thoroughly soakea. --
V
"They seated themselves in the
canoe,, and . the chief - threw nis
only blanket over Mrs. White's
shoulders, both himself and men
exerting themselves to render
their charges comfortable during
the '36 mUes they were obUged
to travel before reaching the fort,
which was late In the evening.

"They were met by Mr. Doug

time since, in the same .place, we
lost a canoe, with seven men, all

"Governor McLoughllh had that

"The following morning the
bereaved mother was quite com
posed. They started at 8 o'clock,
and, with the little coffin at their
feet, traveled all day, and camped
at night, just above the falls ot
the Willamette. They took sup
per, the men . pitched their bor
rowed tents, and, after a day of
great fatigue, they lay quietly
down to rest. ,
v v .. .. ;
"In a short; time, however, they
were disturbed by a loud pad
dling, and , voices; and, looking
out, beheld about 10 Indians,
men. women and children, in can
oes, who landed and camped very
near them. The arrival of the
strangers inspired Mrs. White
with tear; More, however, lest
she ahould be robbed of her dead
treasure than for her own safety.
She could' hear all the noises of
the camp, talking of the men,
gossip of the women, and. more
harrowing than all. the orattle
and crying of the children, which
reminded her of her own dear
lost one; and it was one of the
nights ot the greatest aufferinar
She ever experienced. It was one
or perfect restlessness: for aha
sat silently through the long.
weary hours, with burstinr heart.
watching the corpse of her babe
at the door of her tent- How
truly solitary; far from mother,
husband, home and friends sur
rounded by a company of strange
savages, weighed down with
grief, tearless from its very
weight, not knowinr what next
would befall her. Oh. such azonv
as she endured through that
night's dreary vigils! She felt as
though she had been obliged to
drain the cup of bitter sorrow to
its dregs, without a chance to
pray that it might pass from her.
"They were off as soon as it
was light, that thev mlrht. if
possible, reach the mission be

the body of the Infant. They ar
rived at McKay's about 1 o'clock
-(Jean Baptlste Deportee McKay's

while they were dining, horses
were prepared, and they went on

where Champoeg is now.) Ii
"It is impossible to describe
. emotlons ot th doctor
(White), when he met them,
about 12 miles from th mission,
as, excepting a floating rumor
among the natives, which h e
hardly credited, he had had no
intimation of the accident. The
sad presentiment was realized.
Death had entered their circle
and robbed them-of their fair
child; and. as he looked into the
fac of his wife, he comprehend
ed In part her suffering." . . i
