Mr. Kay was exceptionally well versed in state busi ness. His long service as state legislator ana as uia of state gave hmi an intimate acquaintance wnu inc xm fications (Jf state government and with leading citens all over the commonwealth.

As a legislator he carried forward many important battles. He fought graft. He ended the system by which the state treasurer got a3 personal perquisites of office the interest on public funds. He battled for local option in the legislature, defying local political bosses and winning his fight Ntef ore the people, Distinctly an individualistKay built up no personal political machine. He was too forthright, too frank, lop in dependent to be called a politician. He concealed nothing, fought openly for causes he espoused and against individu als whom he opposed. He almost thought out loud, taking the whole public into his confidence. And he gained and re tained the confidence of the public to a marked degree. : In the immediate discharge of his duties as state treas urer he was most efficient. The office was operated most economically. He waa vigilant in collection of revenues due the state. He administered the trust funds of the state with extreme care and prudence. His office has also been of great service to municipalities gettinginto difficulties over their indebtedness, working out plays to preserve their credit, yet relieving somewhat the pressure of the present. As a resident of Salem for nearly 40 years, Mr. Kay occupied a position of leadership. His personality was posi tive. He stepped easily and naturally into a post of com mand. So it has been for many decades that he has been a leader in commercial enterprises and civic causes in this city. His immediate business was the operation of the Thom as Kay woolen mills, established by his father in 1890. But he found time for wider interests' and activity in affairs outside his business. So long and so closely has Mr. Kay been identified with affairs of this city and state that his sudden going is as though a great tree of the forest had suddenly been uproot ed, leaving an empty space against the sky. Not easily will bis place be filled either in local industry or in state poli tics. Face to his task he has been called away; and great is the personal grief of those who had known him intimately; and great is the loss which the state has suffered. Wise in counsel, loyal to the interests of his state and city, Thorflas B. Kay will long be remembered as one of the' great leaders of affairs. - i - ' ' v ; ". ' Death Tips the Scales ; AN icy hand reached out and tipped again j the scales of Oregon politics, shifting once more the political bal ances. This came for the third time in eighteen months. Gov. Patterson died, suddenly, the public scarcely knowing he was ilL George W. Joseph, nominee for governor, dropped dead at Camp Clatsop, and once again political affairs were upset Now Tom Kay, state treasurer,' answers the last summons. Three times now death has dropped the trump card, and the deal has been changed. ! Power now passes into the hands of Gov. Meier. He can designate the successor to Mr. Kay as state treasurer, and his appointee will naturally acquiesce in the Meier pol icies in state affairs. The dissension of recent weeks will be at an end, and the governor's control will penetrate' all institutions. Kay was the stumbling block for Meier dom ination over institutions ruled by the board of control. With him removed and a pro-Meier man in his stead the effects of the November revolution will be immediately felt in areas previously thought protected on account of the three man control of the board. j - Strange indeed are the imitations caused by death. Here in Oregon they have marked the shift of dynasties as trily as in a monarchical country. Now the governor has a free hand. The opportunity is his, and the responsibility al so. " " ' ' I a aMai aa m s Col. Woods Resigns i THE resignation of CoL Arthur Woods and his associates from the president's unemployment commission is bound to prove embarrassing to Mr. Hoover. There was an evident breach between them as to policies of caring for unemploy ment. The president feels that the government should. not undertake vast works for relief of unemployment, relying on the operation of the traditional American initiative in solving its economic problems. CoL Woods favors more di rect action. J'. .;:',,.:..., The policy of the president would seem more in keep ing with what has begn traditional in this country. Bat pa ternalism has grown sSjrapidly that the president will no' doubt be sharply criticizeH because of the break with CoL Woods. It would be well to suspend judgment however un til the fact3 behind the resignation are fully known. I Teachera hare signed up 100 on contract for next year.

Marlon Gov DepC Health Much has been said and writ ten in the past few years on the relation of diet to the development or decayed teeth. That there Is a very close ' relation ship there Is no doubt, yet there are : probably other factors than diet con cerned In den tal decay, such as heredity and infeedous dis eases. In tam II es where both the father and mother have good teeth, the sr. a o. Duu - children no doubt have better teeth. ' . It has been observed' that cer tain children who have all the advantages of correct diet from babyhoocf. and yet have frequent attacks of acute Infectious dis eases, are-more likely to have de cayed teeth. It: Is common knowledge that many child re who have had se vere or prolonged attacks of such infections . as pneumonia, scarlet fever, show evidences of these in fections In the structure o their teeth. Certain defects ' are seen in the enamel of all the teeth In some Instances. '-; Diet has a profound Influence on the production of decayed teeth. : So much has been . said about the Importance of certain foods that it does not seem Neces sary to do more than mention the foods that are considered essen tial. Citrus traits containing a great deal of vitamin C are favor able to growth of good teeth. Green leafy vegetables such - as lettuce, cabbage, and spinach pro vide iron and other mineral sub stances in addition to certain vita mins. Egg yolk, butter and cod liver oil provide vitamin A and aid In the body's use of calcium and phosphorus. Whole grain cer eals furnish minerals and some vitamin B. Milk supplies protein, calcium and certain vitamins. Many other foods could be men tioned that are also valuable in proper growth of the teeth. These foods must be supplied to the child from the time he is Quite young to the time his teeth have attained their growth. Prop er diets that contain all the above essentials are just as necessary for expectant mothers if they hope to have a child with good teetn. All of the baby's first teeth and Its six-year molars have started to form before it Is born so the mother's diet must include teeth and bone-growing essentials. It la often declared and one oft en hears over the radio that prop er cleansing of the teeth will pre vent decay. Most dentists will refute such a statement. -It may be a factor but a minor one, nev ertheless It should not be neglect ed, f Question Do you think it pos sible. to save a child's life-when it has measles, after It goes Into spasms? Anxious i Mother. Answer It depends to a great extent on what omplication Is causing the spasms. The condi tion of the child Just preceedlng the measles would also have a bearing on the child's chances for recovery. Spasms usually In dicate some very grave compli cation. All one could say Is tnat It would be possible to save a child who has developed spasms, but not probable. wn.-.. 1 V I t.

Mary looks after Billy, their youngster, while they go to business. Larry Mitch ell, energetic, young newspaper reporter. Is Mary Lou's pal. CHAPTER II. Howard Sanderson would raise a handsome eyebrow at his smart good-looking wife and in the pri vacy of their bed-room would say now and then; "I'm-sorry I ever Introduced him to heri What in the world will we do without her?" "It's not serious. They they laugh too much," answered Clara quite seriously "they have too good a time.

"And we were like that? her husband inquired, earnestly. "Ton know we were!" And here she would kls him - and laugh a little. "I like Larry, she once said. "He's e deaf and aw fully clever but he's not the man for Mary Lou." "Who is, O Wisdom Incarn ate?" "I don't know. Tea. I do. Soma one older. Someone who needs her terribly. Not a weak man. I don't mean that." Clara went on trying to explain, "but someone who would call out an her moth ering instincts. Larry couldn't. He might is she were an older woman, a different type Z can't explain." "You certainly can't," answer ed Howard with conviction. "They're lust friends." Clara said. "Love comes first and friendship after that is. If you are lucky. Friendship doesn't in itiate things, as a rule." "I wonder I ever dared marry you, Mrs. Boiomon. remaraea her husband gravely, at which she threw a clothesbrush at him and the conversation ended.

Mary Lou had a tiny Income, hardly visible to the naked eye, from a Ufa Insurance policy that . her gay young father had always managed to carry, to everyone's astonishment. And the Sander son's gave her gift money now and then. They had wished to put her on strictly business basis. with a- monthly stipend for pin money, but she had refused. She had her own little room and her place at their table. She must do something in return. And as she grew up at 17 she took over the running of the house she agreed to look upon whatever she could save from the house keeping . money as her own. So the 3 which was to provide din ner tor herself and Larry upon her treat night. For Larry was poor and ambitious and Mary Lou was poor and adorable and they had a great deal of fun out of each other and their poverty. And it Larry hadn't succeeded in sophisticating Mary Lou to any great degree, he loved her to death anyway, as he would have loved a delightful younger sister. Billy, for heaven's sake!" Billy was out In the road dart ing with ease between the cars, while drivers swerved and grew white and the males among them cursed and .grew green. Larry darted out after the Ir repressible young man and suc ceeded in effecting a bloodless rescue. After which and the scolding they all three walked sedately home to the green-shut tered house, whre Mary Lou. pausing on the step, invited the young Mr. Mitchell to share her lettuce leaf and vegetable soup and Billy's spinach and baked potato, custard and other dellca cles of the season. But Larry refused. He was out gunning for a murder and gun he must. Craving Adventure "See you tomorrow," said Lar ry, and, with a wave of his very disreputable hat, he long-legged it down the street, leaving Mary Lou gating after him as wist fully as she had lokoed across the Narrows at the big liner. Oh, to- be Larry free to come and go and see adventure first hand! When he told her, as. he sometimes did, of his dally round -never dull to Larry, now that he had graduated from reporting unimportant political dinners and ward picnics Mary Lou, lis tening to those sagas would grow wide-eyed and breathless, living it over, every step of the way 'So this eon steps up. see, and pulls out his gun and says " Here.

But she couldn't act well enough to be anything but a pretty amateur. And while she wove all sorts of delightful stor les In her mind, she couldn't put them down on paper. She hadn't even inherited her fath er's little gift for line and color. She had no marketable talent. and she knew it. She was to know It even more convincingly a week or so later when Howard Sanderson came home one night with an amas- Ing news that he had had an of fer to go to the Orient on con struction engineering work, and what was more amazing, to take Mrs. Sanderson with him in the capacity of secretary- to the ex pedition. Far lands and alien places and a chance to do a goo? job and to travel! They'd always wanted to travel, especially" Clara, who had often envied Howard's light hearted sister and her husband. But now there was Billy to think of and also Mary Lou, for whom they were responsible. Sanderson had three weeks to make up his mind.' And for two weeks, every evening, Saturday afternoons and Sundays -the fam ily went into a sort of huddle perhaps we had better call it a conference-r-and discussed the matter pro and con. ' Larry was present often, put ting m his shrewd oar now and then. He fully sympathized with the Sandersons' anxiety to accept the offer, to get away, out of the rut, to see things tor themselves. But Mary Lou worried him; she tried so hard to be fair, tried so hard to forget herself; yet she was a bit white-lipped these days. There were shadows under the blue eyes, dark as bruises on the white skin. And . In her eyes, although she tried to hide it, he read the unconscious appeal "What is to become of me?" For she wasn't trained. Not as a clerk, a bookkeeper, a nurse, a teacher, a stenographer, or a sec retary. And she had always been so sheltered in her years of wan dering by he father's and moth er's protection, and since then by the friendly root of the little house, by the affection of her rel atives... But "Yon most go!" decided Mary Lou firmly when the time was almost up. "But you "Never mind me," said Mary Lou. ' "Billy." said Billy's mother on a long breath, broken oft like a sob. "Billy's pretty little to leave behind, and we cant take him. Z mean children get sick so quickly t-they say " ' "Don't sax.
