He rates high as an Hempire builder" and his fame has passed somewhat into rnvt,h. But Hill made his blunders and they were costly ones. " For example there were the great ships, ithe Minnesota, and the Dakota, which he put into trans-oceanic service. He thought they would develop tonnage for his railroads from the orient. The venture was a failure; the Dakota was wrecked, and Hill was glad to. dispose of the Minnesota. The venture in coastwise shipping did pot turn out well. Remember Flavel, Ore., and the boats Great Northern and Northern Pacific? They did a big business for several ..' years; but after the-ships were sold for war transport purposes the line was never revived and the Flavel docks were left as food for barnacles. f lit is difficult to justify the purchase of the Oregon Electric system for the northern roads, another of Hill's deals. Always a burden, its losses have grown with the years. The G. K. would have been better off in all probabil itv if it had never bought this system. We have wondered sometimes now if Pres. Budd who aspires to; follow out the Jim Hill tradition is not borrwing future deficits for the parent road. ". .-. -v M'--i 1 v : The geniuses make; their mistakes and the ones they make are usually proportionately more costly.' Jim Hill made his, but fortunately for his fame, his correct guesses farj outnumbered Kis errors, and given him a reputation which survives in this now greatly changed busines world. Cutting Discount Rates THE New York district cut the federal reserve bank rate for rediscounting to lYi, the lowest rate in history. In August, ,1929 the rate was 6. This does not mean that mon ey is generally available at such low rates ; but; tnat tne mem ber banks may send in eligible bills which they hold to the I : 1 1 Jl it -.114. ...... t Iw.m.n.n. ietierai reserve uanit anu wnu uiew as wiuatciat wnu tins rate. T There is one rule In the business world as true as in the world of a law of physics, and that is that business adjusts itself to the price of capital. Thus when the rediscount rate went to 6m 1929 and the call money rate went to 8 or better, business eventually froze up. Now with the rediscount v rate down to 1V and the call money rate around 2-24t the reverse will operate. Business will thaw out. Cheap credit sooner or later attracts customers, just as dear credit drives them awav. - ' It will take time for this "overproduction of bank cre dit to be absorbed, but it wfll be as surely as the sun will rise in the morning. "If winter comes, can spring be far behind?" When money gets down to 1U and &o can demand be mucn longer delayed? Without a doubt the foundations of some great fortunes are being made on the basis of the present cheap credit, cheap commodities, cheap securities, cheap real estate. - j Japanese Girl First at O. S. C. Ar Japanese girl, American born, won high honor at the state college, being the senior woman chosen by a fac ! ultvs committee "to approach most nearly the ideal of intel ; lect and spirituality . and Jto have exerted the most whole some influence and j inspiration upon her associates." Her name Is Nori Shimomura of Portland. The award is the Chi Omega prize of $25. j Miss Shimomura made the highest scholastic average of any member of the graduating, class. This is indeed worthy of note, that a - Japanese girl should surpass the several hundred Americans whose early privileges and opportunities presumably far surpassed those of this little child of oriental extraction. Brilliant the girl doubtless is; but it is also a fair, inference that she was more industrious, less absorbed in campus activities. The so-called foreign students seem to be more ambitious; and ! often they gain distinctions far out of proportion to their ( numbers. The state will congratulate this Japahese-Amer-ican girl on the fine record she has made. It ought to in--' spire others of her racial sisters and brothers, and perhaps stimulate some of the hundred per cent Americans. : - Sen. W. Ik Jones et Washington snrprised people by switching ' hi endorsement for the Rudkln meaner to Judge Stanley WebBtor : of Spokane, Jones is a candidate for re-election next year, and Is in none too tarorable a situation politically.

The proper kind of clothes for a baby is always an interesting as well aa important duty for erery mother. Modern ideas concerning the kind and the amount of clothing a baby needs ars quite different from. those of one or two generations past. The idea that a baby has to be swaddled -in a great' handle of clothing la of course- - errone ous. A baby Is Dr. a a Dur more sensitive to extremes of ; temperature, to great care much be taken about the amount of clothing, especially in the summer time. ; ' ; Discard Band Soon I One of the first items of cloth ing for a new-born baby Is the band. Many are using a plain gauze band to hold the cord dress ing in place, and many still pre fer the flannel band. Whichever is used, it should be removed -is soon as the cord is healed. The band has no function other than holding the cord dressing in place so it can be discarded as soon as possible. A tight band will stay in place but it la very uncomfort able, while a loose one is comfort able but will ; not stay in place. Bands do not prevent the occur rence of ruptures of the navel. The next garment needed Is what many call the "teething band," a sleeveless knit under shirt supported by two shoulder straps. A ferr good kind ow in use is the V necked type, which is not tight about the neck but does not slip down over, the shoul der. . In warm weather this gar ment can safely be used as a shirt. The materia! should not be all to the skin. If any wool Is needed wool as it becomes too Irritating: that should not be next to the skin Dont Tie Tape Next comes, the vest or shirt, which should be of cotton, or perhaps part wooL Some doctors prefer the . double-breasted type bat they are hardly necessary ex cept In cooler climates. The sln-gle-breasted type that button down the front are satisfactory. If tapes are used as fastening they should never be tied around the body. Diapers are of course always made of cotton. Birdseye diapers are the most satisfactory but cost more than those made of other material. If made about 28x28 in ches the diaper can be folded lengthwise in three folds and pin ned on square with four pins. A triangular fold irritates and is too bulky. They should always be washed in a neutral soapy wat er. Rubber panties should only be used when necessary to protect the mothers clothing.

Larry Mitchell, young newspaper reporter ana Mary Lou's pal. finds an ad in which a companion for a semi-in valid is sought. Mary Lou arrives at the stately Lorrimer mansion In Connecticut and is interviewed by the charming Mrs. Lorrimer. Mary Lou Is bitterly disappointed to learn the semi-Invalid la Mrs. Lorrimer'a aon, ' Travers, and the ad should have rend "male" com panion. Travers, shell-shocked in the war. and suffering from an other sad experience, is listless, almost a recluse. As Mary Lou prepares to leave, Travers enters the room. He rushes to Mary Lou, takes her in his arms and calls her "Delight" and wife." Over wrought when she does not re spond, he faints. Mrs. Lorrimer persuades Mary Lou to remain un til the doctor arrives. CHAPTER X With no further protest Mary Lou followed Peter from the room nd went with him to the broad carving stairs. Above the rooms opened on a gallery. The room into which Peter showed her, silently, was evidently Mrs. Lorrlmer's private sitting-room, a charming, restful, sunny place, done beautifully In soft grays and clear greens with odd little touches of mauve and rose. Mary Lou stood hesitant. She had never been so bewildered In all her 20 years. She said aloud, "Oh, what on earth shall I do?" She was talking, perhaps, to herself. But Feter answered, def erential but briskly: "If I were you. Miss. I'd sit down and rest. You've had a shock." ealdf the elderly man, quietly . . . "Mr. Travers " He stopped and said no more, realiz ing that it was not part of his duty to discuss family matters with an outsider. He indicated the chaise-longue, the comfortable, deep chair, the many books, scat tered on small tables and housed in buUt-In bookcases, the sllrer and enamel boxes of cigarettes. "If yon'd take a chair. Miss," he suggested, "and make yourself at home?" - A Real Home m Mary Lou" reached up mechani cally to take. off her hat. Her head ached. But, then, she re membered that the hat lay on the floor where Lorrimer had cast it. She remembered that her coat and her pocketbook were downstairs. There was nothing to do but wait. Peter went out and closed the door softly behind him. Mary Lou stared around her, nnseeingly at first, and then grandually absorb ing the really exquisite surround ings in which she so amazingly foand herself. - She rose and. at first timidly, wandered about the big, rather eddly shaped room. "I suppose It's what they call a boudoir," remarked Mary Lou to herself with a half giggle, her courage, color and spirits begin ning to return "I've read about em and I can pronounce "em," she informed herself further, "but it's the first time I've ever come into contact with one of 'em!" There was nothing lacy or over crowded, perfumed or bedecked about the room. It was simply a comfortable, lived-in sort of place, restrained and beautiful in color ing and appointments and filled with books, old and new, shabby and fresh. ' Over by the corner of the book case, near the great double win dows which looked out orer the lawns and had ia addition a sil ver glimpse of the Sound , as well. Mary Leu' lifted her eager, book loving eyes from the rows upon rows of volumes and . looked atraJafct into nallw aarar. la ask THE WAY TO FIX IT BELIEVE" ing eyes which looked down on her from a photograph framed in heavy, dull silver which, stood where two bookcases ' meeting made an angle. It was the only photograph in the room. : For a moment Mary Lout stared. conscious of a slight shock. She knew the eyes .she thought, and the face ... a lean, laughing face under the Jaunty cap; of the Royal Flying Corps. She knew. too. she thought; the tall, broad shouldered uniformed figure,; sit ting very negugently on some ex cellent ; photographer's ' bench. Knew and yet did not know. And it was a full minute before It dawned on her that here was Tra vers Lorrimer, the man! down stairs, the man who had exposed her to so frightening and inexpli cable a scene, a scene of which she was trying hard not to think, lest she become terrified again. Whys and Wherefores Lorrimer as he had been, Lor rimer very young, Lorrimer in early 1915, so many years ago, Lorrimer Just turned 18 years of age. a laughing, delightful boy. Her heart hurt her with pity. Halt unconsciously she reached up and carefully lifted down the big heavy frame . and went to the cough and sat down, still Holding the picture, looking at it Intently, wondering about it. For whom had he mistaken her? Someone named Delight? Odd name, pretty name, she liked it. Someone he had not seen in a long time. Someone he loved . . . and called ... his wife. : Who was she and where was she?;1 Was she dead, were they trying to keep it irom him. or had she deterted him? Where, had he married her . . ? and when . . . ? j ! She came back again and again to that Incredible and breathless moment when she had' been caught up in arms grown sudden ly strong, when she had been held close to this stranger's heart, when she had felt his Hps on her eyelids, on her face . . . j What was the explanation? Oh. shejwould have to wait and hear; she owed that to Mrs. Lorrimer I But she wanted to get away some how. She was still afraid, still very assure of herself.. , She put the picture down beside her and reachedout for a maga zine to distract her from - her thoughts and ceaseless specula tions. But, turning the pages, her eyes, fastened on picture or text, saw nothing, read nothing; the printed -words made absolutely no sense. What would she do now? After she got back to Oakdale? How. far away Oakdale seemed! Was it only this morning that she had left there, eaten heir hasty breakfast with Billy bouncing in his chair, with Adelaide' complain ing from her couch and Gram bustUng in from the kitchen? On ly this morning; too, that she had seen Larry and he had teased her about her .adventuring Into -the land of Those ' Seeking j Employ ment? "Remember yon are lin eal descendant of Queen Cleopat ra." he had said. Well, : she had n't been able to remember she was anyone's descendant -r- today's events had stripped her of family, leisures, friends and even actual existence, so forlorn and strange, so bewildered she had been! WelL soon Mrs. Lorrimer would come and explain what there was to explain . . . not that It matter ed, she thought, poor feUow. poor unhappy, unfortunate boy-but she'd wait and listen and then perhaps Mrs. Lorrimer would send her to the station and she would' go on back to New York and Oak dale. And tomorrow she wouid-j come into town again and present the letter written by Mrs. Lorri mer for her , and ' perhsps some thing would come of it, perhaps she would get a . position. ; - There was a step in the hsiL She stiffened, listening .eagerly. No, net Mrs. Lorrlmers. Step and Mrs. Lorrimer would L not have knocked. - . "Cem, la w, It was Peter, with a tray, the smart maidservant following; him. "Luncheon. . Miss ,i Thurston," By FAITH BALDWIN said Peter gravely. "Mrs. Lor rimer is still ' with Doctor Mathews and begs yon to excuse her. She said She hoped yon would find everything to your liking and she will Join yon here pres ently." r While . Peter arranged the luncheon on a little dropleat table which he drew out from the wall. the maid said, pleasantly: "I'm Hilda.! Miss. Mrs. Lorri mer asked me to show you into her room in ease yon wished to brush your hair and wash . . . ?" Feeling suddenly as if she had entered a fascinating fairy tale, with its One-Eye, Two-Eye, Three Eye, miraculously appearing luncheon tables and all, Mary Lou followed Hilda's becoming maroon uniform into the loveliest bedroom she had ever seen in her life and through that into a great bathroom, painted and decorated in mauvee and greens. There was a ' huge dressing table there with many mirrors; and rows of crys tal bottles with jade stoppers and squat crystal pars filled with cold creams and cosmetics which look ed quite good enough to eat. Hilda produced heavy linen towels and gayly colored wash cloths., a powder Jar and tufts of ribbon-tied cotton and a brand new brush and comb In a little case and, after-Inquiring whether there was : anything more she could do, withdrew. ! Mary Lou washed her lands and face, combed her hair and powder ed her pert little nose in a sort of dated and lazy dream. Even the towels; were too good to be true. Her i fascinated eyes linger ed long on the shining shower with its heavy glass door. She'd never seen one like It and was by now so "surrendered to circum stances" that if Hilda had sud denly Invited her to bath In the pale green sunken tub or to stand under the needle-spray of the shower, she would probably have done so, without question.
