Par Copy S centa On trains and New Stands t cents j Jimmy Walker and Tom Mooney MAYOR JIMMY WALKER'S trip to California to inter cede for Tom Mooney looks much like a publicity stunt for the New York mayor. Jimmy seems to be most anxious "for excuses to keep out of the city he is supposed to gov jgrn. Part of the time he is at a desert resort in Southern California, part of the time he is in Eurooe for the baths. Now after reaching home he waits but a 'ew weeks before grabbing his bags and starting outto California to tell Got. Ralph what he ought to do. What the California governor will do is up to that gen tleman liimself. But we would like to make his speech for him. We would suggest that the debonair Jimmy wash the shirts in New York city's politics before coming west to purge California. We'd ask him to explain how prominent officials are able on meagre salaries to bank hundreds of thousands of dollars. He might tell what Tammany hall is doing to aid (?) the efforts of Lawyer Seabury in investi gating the corruption which is showing up in official circles in :New York City. ! What is Jimmy so nervous about himself? Why does he jump like a flea from Hollywood to Carlsbad? Why not stick to the job in Gotham and turn a hand at giving that city an honest administration? Tom Mooney may deserve release from San Quentin. For our part if he is guilty he has suffered longer confine ment than the average men who commits a murder; and since there is a widespread doubt of his guilt we think it would be all right to give him release through pardon. But we do not think that Jimmy Walker knew much of anything about the facts in the case, that his trip is chiefly a publicity atunt, and that he will simply rehearse arguments which have long before been related, without unfolding any "new angle. . International Visitation PREMIER LAVAL is back home and counts his trip to America a success, evidently thinking he has impressed the French viewpoint on people on this side of the water. His speech in the chamber of deputies shows rather a relentless , attitude toward Germany. He reiterates the theme-song of French post-war politics when he declaims no cut in repar ations, without corresDondine cut in war debts. Not much hope there, chiefly because of the stiff-necked attitude. Now Premier Grandi goes back to Italy, and counts his trip a success. What basis he has for optimism is not known for Pres. Hoover has been reticent about his conversations with each of his international visitors. Perhaps the parting statements are but the gracious expressions of those who have enjoyed our hospitality. We do not think any of these foreign premiers have gotten away with any of the White House prate, or the country's pledges. The European situation, politically speaking, seems back about where it was after this visitation and conferences over the tea-cups. Meantime some of the economists and bankers .have been working, and time has been working. And there have been some indications that the critical conditions of mid-summer have been partly ameliorated, so that when Feb. 1st comes round the German position so far as its short term obligations are concerned will be strengthened. The United States is glad to have the notables of Europe come over for tea and wafers. We are sociable. And we want to cooperate in easing up the strain f tilings. But the IT. S.

COPELAND, M.D. The number, of deaths front heart disease in this country hat Increased fit per cent within the past Z9 years. This statement ia not a pleas ing one, but it warrants seri ous considera tion. When to use the term "heart disease, we re fer to that con dition in which the power of the heart is def initely impair- M Thia maw Dr. CoDelaad occur from one of a great many things. The most common form of heart disease is that due to infection. The infection travels through the body by way of the blood stream. It reaches the inside of the heart and locates there. Then follows a condition that seriously interferes with the normal action of the heart. The heart is divided into four chambers; two upper and two low er chambers. The upper chambers are spoken ef as "auricles," the left and right auricles: the lower chambers are the "ventricles," the right and left ventricles. Between the left auricle and the left ventricle is a valve called the ."mitral valve." In heart dis ease It Is this valve that Is most commonly affected. It la In par ticular danger of attack in cases of acute rheumatic fever. When the mltrol valve is in volved, there is an interference with Its normal working. In con sequence, the blood Is permitted to leak through. This is the rea son why this trouble is spoken of as a "leaking heart." The doctors refer to It as "mitral heart dls ease. When such a condition exists, it produces a "murmur." This may be heard by the physician who lis tens through a stethoscope applied to the heart. Ia a mild form of heart trouble the murmur is of no particular significance. In the advanced form, as a re sult of the changed function due to the impaired valve, the heart enlarges. As it increases in size, it does not do its work' as well. In a more pronounced case, where there are impaired valvular ac tion, enlarged heart and weak muscle, there is a sluggish action, with the result that the blood is not passed on through the body as snouia be. In such individuals there is usu ally a shortness of breath, the face Is pale and the lips do not have the normal reddish color but often appear bluish A very common symptom is swelling of the feet. There are other valves, of course, not as frequently Involved as the mitral. -Another form of heart disease where there is no defect of the valves, is spoken of as "myocard itis. The myocardium is the mus cle of the heart. Thia muscle may become badly weakened from overstrain, lack of nourishment or physical disease. The action of the heart depends entirely upon the" strength and tone of this muscle. Supplying the heart are numer ous blood vessels which may be come diseased, like any other blood vessels in the body. A com mon form of disease Is hardening of the vessels, causing the condi tion known as "arterio-sclerosls" of the heart. This is rarely found in youth but Is a sign of uncoming age. - Unfortunately, most people be come alarmed when they are told they have heart disease. Yet the records show that many people, with heart disease live to a good old age. They are sure to do so if they realize their shortcomings and lire accordingly. Quiet life, abundant rest, and work that is not fatiguing, are im perative. Periodic examinations by the doctor should be the rule. Where advised, rest in bed should not be considered an ordeal, but a way to health and long life. (Copyright. 1931) New Views "How do rou like these beau tiful November days?"

HENDRICKS- "Acres of diamonds:' S The reader is no doubt famil iar with the famous lecture of Russell ConwelL delivered thous ands of times, the proceeds of which, running into hundreds of thousands, went to charitable and educational work. "Acres of Dia monds" waa the subject. ' - The story was that of a man in South Africa who yearned tor great wealth and traveled the world over seeking to satisfy his ambition and came back to the farm where h was born, poorer than when he left it. Then he found on the home farm "acres of diamonds" rendering him rich beyond his early dreams. Conwell applied the lesson eloquently in his lecture to many opportunities that lie all about us, giving num erous illustrations. a He ranged the world and searched the pages of history tor the high points of his appealing and glamorful story. He might have extended bis illustrations indefinitely. The Mayo .brothers in Rochester, Minn., have built a city on their father'a farm; now the world center for medical re search. P. G. Banting, discoverer of insulin, was a poor farm boy of Canada. Edison got his first inspirations while a peanut 'butcher" boy on the train. West- lnghouse was called a "damned fool" by one of the first railroad presidents to whom he sought to explain his idea of the air brake. The list is long. It contains the names written large on the en during scroll of fame of most men who left the beaten track and developed new Ideas in the realms of science and religion who dreamed dreams and saw visions of better things for their own and succeeding generations. The writer has long contended that "acres of diamonds" exist in Oregon, in the Willamette val ley. In the Salem district, in greater profusion and promise thin elsewhere In all the wide world: that this comes from our fortuitious -combination of soil, sunshine and showers, and that this is the land of diversity, the country of opportunity. "a "a Time was. not so long ago. as any fnll grown man can recall, when It was generally held that our section was not well adapted to poultry breeding. It was too damp, said the local oracle, as he stroked his beard and wagged his head, between expectorations of tobacco juice. S Now it is or ought to be com mon knowledge that we "breed here the most highly productive and vigorous fowls known to all poaKrydom, and that in over head costs we are far below the mean level of competition; fa a distinctive class. . J. A. Hanson waa a student at the Oregon Agricultural college. He worked with the famous Prof. James Drydeev in charge of the poultry department there the first man in the World to produce a zoo-egg nanj a White Leghorn. V S About 15 years ago. Mr. Han son commenced poultry breeding "on bis own", having secured a four acre tracts about a mile west of Corvallis. He has now SO acres in his home tract, with 120 acres for range, with an elegant home and many fine buildings consti tuting one of the best equipped poultry plants on earth and be is the greatest breeder ef aU time in his specialty. He. has devei his "acre of diamonds" until ho haa now a business that is world wide and world renowned. AU this, "starting from scratch" (no pun intended), and working out his own expansion of operations. with no capital but a will to work hard and study much. s Mr. Hanson, tor three straight years, has won first place hi the 10 en pen International laying contest at Storrs, Connecticut, with his Whits Leghorns. Last year, and this year, every indi vidual hen delivered over 199 egga. He won first place with a fire hen pen at the last Kanka kee, IU., contest, his flock laying in the year over LSOO eggs. For the past eight years, he has been making worM records. At the last London Mall contest, four years ago, Lis laying pen wen over every foreign competitor.

Each individual fowl has a place on a aet of hooka. No chances are taken; nothing Is done haphazard. Two years ago the Japanese government paid him 12,000 for SO birds; sent two men to receive and tend them on the voyage westward. They were intended tor the government ex periment station In the land of ruppon. isvery outstanding conn- try sends to Hanson for breedlnz stock; and an the states of the union. v, N Mr. Hanson has worked out unique methods and rules of his own; haa departed in numerous- ways from the beaten track, after original experimentation. He has developed a Leghorn strain that is bigger than the average, and that produces larger and more nearly 100 per cent white eggs. He has raised the average weight of cockerels from five pounds to seven to seven and a half pounds, and to five and six pounds for hens. He has done this (which is distinctive) without crossing from a pure strain. He haa a 40x2 Whita horn hen, aad Is shooting for the nignest mark ever attained, la Australia, 544, by aa Australorp bird, known generallv as a Mark Orpington.. Mr. Hanson has only xive to go, and he ia on the way. a "a His plant runs ll months in the year. It is conducted on strict business lines, like the most mod ern factory. He has a large force oi neipera, a bookkeeper, sten ographer, etc., and he is one of the busiest- men in Oregon. His home farm is a little city in ap pearance, and a busy one. Just, now, his baby chicks and ears and breeding stock are colnx mostly to California. Florida, and to other southern states. s He mixes his own feeds: is a large buyer In the market of grains, raising his own green feeds. He makes constant net profits; sella cockerels at $2S to sioo each, and pens proportion ately. He is so careful to aire high class customers what they demand that he has built a brick house for each of his prize pens of a year and two years ago. and is erecting a similar one for this years pen. "a If the reader has any doubt as to how our advantages as a poul try breeding country are regarded by the highest authorities in poultrydem, be it known to him that our fanciers are each year sending numerous full car lota of cockerels to breeding districts la ether states, including such world centers as Petaluma, Calif.

She escapes by airplane under the name of "Smith." Aboard Is Evelyn How ard,, whom Fanchon had met on a Toyage from Hawaii. Evelyn is go ing to New York to live with her aunt, the wealth Mrs. Carstairs, whom she haa never seen. The plane crashes and Fanchon is the onlr survivor. To get away from Tony and the past she goes to the Carstairs home as "Evelyn." A strong bond of affection grows be-, tween Mrs. Carstairs and her "niece. Collin Carstairs, the eon. 1s at first antagonistic because of his "cousin's Hawaiian esca pades and her self-righteous at titude . when his mother offered aid, but Faachon's sincerity over comes his objections. They fall in 'love. After a happy summer at Southampton, Fanehon makes her debut In New York. Collin, though realizing their relation ship la a barrier, cannot resist professing his love. Fanchon can not acknowledge hers without re vealing her identity. Later, a threatening note comes from Tony. She visits him and repulses his advances. Tony Informs Fan chon that Evelyn is alive. CHAPTER XX Fanchon waa white from shock. But at his words she thrust the thought of Evelyn away from her. It would be ready and waiting tor her when again she must encoun ter It, Just now her business was with Tony. She repeated his words slowly. "I have nothing to tear from Evelyn Howard. That is perhaps true. But from you, Tony?" He answered, steadily, "From me . . . nothing. If you 2 as I say. If you play the game." She said, whiter still, "I I can't marry you, Tony. You know that" "I don't." he replied, "expect you to. I realize your scruples. Although why," he went on, "they should be as strong as they once were I don't know yet. For you haven't quite the same claim to superiority tnat you once had Fanchon." She noted mechanlcallr the difference in him. The lack of slang, the caretnl Enelinh. the avoidance of wise-cracking. She wondered about It dully. For the first time sin-e their meeting she Mrs. Bert Evans had as their guests, Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Ev ans, Lester Evans, Miss Mae Kin kold, of Keizer and Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Bock of Portland. Mrs. Bock Is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Evans.

Since -I have been here I have lived quietly. I have read a good deal I have been." he smiled, anticipating her amazement, "to school. I had or iginally, Fanchon, considerable education, of various sorts. But I had grown careless. Cesare Gilli Is one to whom carelessness would not appeal." He added, "I confess that until found you, I did not knew Just how to establish this GIUL Or in what branch of what profession. But then I did find you." She asked, sparring for time, "But howt You have not told me how? "Your photograph, ia the pa pers. An excellent likeness. De butante!" He laughed unpleas antly. Fanehon said, automatically: "It was absurd, of course. Yet Mrs. Carstairs wished me to have a formal introduction to her friends." "You were weariag pearls, in the picture," Tony commented pleasantly. Her fingers went up to her throat in an unconscious gesture. 8he let the betraying hand fall back in her lap. Tony went on, "You were fortunate in your choice of a relative. I have had Mra, Carstairs looked up . . . it wasn't hard. There is, also, a son?" he added. Interrogatively. Fanchon uodded. Had her life depended upon it she could not prevent the swift veiling of her eyes, the hot tide of color, rising.' "Ah!" said Tony and that was alL He continued, "I would like very much to to meet Mrs. Car stairs. I understand that introduc tions from her " "Tony," she cried desperately, "what is it you wish me to do?" "Very little." he assured her, "merely to permit Ceeare GUli to call upon you ana your aunt -as a very old friend has a right to do. You met me." he reminded her, "let us say, ia Hawaii. Or, if you like, further back in your interesting paL" "That is impossible," she told him, "to lend myself to such a deception is out of the question." "There used to be an old say ing," he -remarked, "which I learned in school. A proverb per haps. Or from the Bible. Some thing about straining at a gnat and "swallowing a camel." She asked frantically, "And if 1 refuse? Oh. don't sit there, smiling, and . . . quoting proverbs! Tell me, frankly, if I refuse?" He answered amiably. "Then I shall be forced te in trude upon Mrs. Carstairs with out an Introduction and explain myself, to some extent, and ex plain you . . ..quite fully." She said scornfully, "Your word against mine? You have no proof. Or If you have. It Is the sort of proof which would place you, yourself, in the hands of the police." "I think." he told her. with a certain deadly courtesy, "that you don't mean that. Or haven't thought ahead. For word of her niece, Mra. Carstairs might be quite willing to keep my presence in New York from San Francisco headquarters." Fanchon said, fighting for time. "But Evelyn out there in an institution!" "She isn't out there." he ttAA her gently, "she Is here with me. I was permitted to bring her here. a CONTRACT BEIDIDG y "The Official-System" as Adopted by Lending AntJaorifiee By E. V. SUEPARD Opening Suit A HAND worth an opening bid affords a golden oppor tunity te convey very def inite information te partner at mall risk. Almost every player loves to bid. If your partner is hopelessly weak one or the. other 1 r?r opPnens almost certain ly will outbid your own modest treagth. There is less than one twenty that any sound Ppin bid of ens will be left in aad defeated badly. The minimum requirements for making an opening hid of one ef any suit are: (1) Pessessioa ef to t quick tricks; (2) A biddable suit of net less than 4 fards; (3) Probable ability to ful fill contract in ease dummy holds at least S small trumps and three probable tricks. An opening bid ef one denies Possession of 7 probable tricks, as surn strength would demand a higher bid. Therefore tha bidder of one never seeks immediate sup port upon S orebable tricks, for that cannot yUld a game Assist an opening bid of one only in case yen hold normal trump support, also better than the average dummy atwngtl, ef 1H odck tricks or t bable tricks. Whether yen rAould at once support partner or shift te a stream snake of rear own is aa important topic requiring future detailed consideration. ; A few very talented players of ionr experience are able 4o value hands almost instinctively.

If you will do as I ask ad what X ask of you Is simplic ity Itself, X will say nothing. You may go on being Evelyn Howard for the rest of time as tar as I am concerned. This girl upstairs with the child's mind, shall not suffer. If it becomes expedient for me to change the manner of my living and my household, I will put her In some home where she will be well cared for the rest of her life. No danger from her; tor you. Of course," he went on, "if they should decide to operate . ." "What do you mean?" asked Fanchon frantically. 'There is Just a chance of her regaining her memory and her wits. A very faint chance. There Is something at the base of the brain, an abscess, I understand. In all events, some pressure. It Is a dangerous operation, and when I first saw her her general health wa not good, her physical con dition. It was out of the question to operate thw. 'Build her health up,' they told me.
