Charles Pray, superintendent
tot the state constabulary, which
will absorb the state traffic divi
sion and other law enforcement
agencies August 1, announced
Saturday that he had received
approximately 900 applications
for jobs, exclusive of hundreds of
personal Interviews. He estimated
that he would not emplay to ex
ceed 40 new men. This statement
was accepted to mean that quite i
mini hAr of the uresent traffic of
ficers will b retained when the
new department becomes opera
tlve.
Th& law orontlnz the state eon
stabulary provides that" It shall

giving considerable study to the
criminal Identification bureau,
which will be operated in con
nection with the headquarters.
This bureau will contain photo

lion measures of virtually all

"Who will have charge of this im
portant division of tne new state
constabulary has not yet been de
termined by Mr. Pray.
. TnTABtisation also was made
this week Cf teletypes, such as
are now in us In many of the
larger states of - the union.
Through the use of these ma
chines, police ' departments are
able to send out descriptions of
fugitives and stolen property
within two or three minutes after
the information is received at
headquarters. Pray declared that
teletypes would prove valuable
in state police swork, but that the
cost might be prohibitive In Ore
gon. Governor Meier, who In
spected the operation of one of
-these machines recently, ex
pressed himself as pleased with
the -manner in which it handled
police bulletins.
The state constabulary also
will have the use of the state
owned radio broadcasting station
now operated in connection with
Oregon State college at Corval
lis. This station will be operated
from Police headquarters In Sa
lem by means of remote control.
It will be used generally for the
circulation of police bulletins.
Few Applications
Yet Investigated
Pray said that he had not yet
had time to investigate any great
number of applications be had
received, and that no appoint
ments would be made for three
ot four weeks. Probably the most
Important of the appointments is
the assistant superintendent of
state police. Although this ap
pointment will be made by Mr.
Pray, It must receive the approv
al of Governor Meier. Mr. Pray
will receive $5,000 a year, while
his assistant will receive $3,000.
Salaries of other operatives In
the department will range from
$125 to $250 a month, depending
upon the line of work and ' the
tlm tha employe has remained In
'the department.
Pray indicated that at least
- some of his employes would be
persons who have not submitted
for formal applications, but have
good records In police depart
ments is various parts ot the
country.
- The nature of uniforms to be
worn by members of the new po
lice department has not yet been
determined. Pray indicated that
he would not sanction red trous
' ers, as recommended by the com
mittee appointed by Governor
Meier to assist in the organiza
tion of the department.

Interest Is the new pajama cre

youth to gray hairs; judging from
the popularity with, which was
met the first pajama modeling in
the city, held yesterday at the
Montgomery Ward ; and company
store.
Live models showed a series of
pajamas from the regular stock at
three times during the day, and
each time many were on hand to
witness and admire.
Those modeled, included some
especially attractive lace styles,
which were worn with or without
Jackets, and some smart paisley
patterns, in addition to Tayons,
flat crepes and broadcloths; Some
styles are such that the pajama
closely resembles a dress, r
"I expect to see quite a num
ber of Salem women adopt the
daintier and smarter creations tor
afternoon bridge parties . where
two or three tables for women are
played,". B. A. Newman, manager
of the store, commented.
Mr. Newman said that already
his store is selling two pairs of
pajamas to one house dress, and
usually at this time , of the year
house dresses turn rapidly.

It came into almost every peaceiFul community of thi whole country. It Wasn't so very
well known by the lhtk folks, and on account of its beautiful. and sparklingr color it
became very popular. Now the mother of this BIG animal has its deri in a far-off city,
one that you and we will likely never see. that is, we ourselves likely won't ever see it
unless we do more travelin' than we have done in the past." Now this big animal of Wall
Street ends out a lotta little animalsrplayful and jolly little fellows. ; Now children,
all of you remember that there were already a whole lot of little animals 'round about
that the children for ages and ages were used to seeing, and like you and we do some
times when a new little boy or girl moves into our community we sometimes forget our
other little friends for the new one. Well children; you know that this new friend too
often doesn't fill the place of our old f rien ds, and that is what has happened to this
Great Big Animal. It has found out, as has most everyone else, that it takes too much
feed from our own homes to keep these little animals fat and sleek.'
. : NwlTEnilG Dug rjWfoGE? Acnummofl fV
was wont to come into little towns and cities and crawl into a net that someone else had
already built, for be it known, children, this animal is not a builder, neither does it plant
seeds nor grow things; No, children, it's your own little friends that do all the planting
and growing, so we all may have a nice little town to live in. Now, little folks, this big
mother animal thought and thought for a name for these little animals of hers, and all
at once it came to her, the name came to her, we mean, and she sent out all over this
beautiful country the new name she had thought so long about. Call 'em Chain Stores,
l e ?' tIiat magic word will do wonders for all these little fellers. So you see, children,
that now things sometimes happen. These little animals have gotten their full growth,
ana k what a change in their disposition! They're : still playful if you are feeding
them, but of late there has been a lot of growling and some have gone so far as to make
threats towards all the other. little animals. So you see, children, if you want to enjoy
the real pleasures of life when you grow up, make and keep the friendship of the little
children df your own town, because you too will grow up and eveiything will be nicer
and more beautiful if you enjoy the confidence and loyalty of all the other little folks
w ke yourself, have grown up. And you'll find a friendly place at the Market,
whether your visit is to buy or to see the northwest's largest food store.
