Catterly we have been enjoying the gas age and the electric age. It remained for the year J1932 to usher in a new age of Man, and we call it the Chisel Age. ; If the second decenniura of the century be described as the brass age and the jazz age, the sudden reverse which has come to pass in this teriary pesriod weara well the label, the Chisel Age. The word itself his sprung suddenly into popu lar usage. "Chisel" is an oia, wnoiesome wora, as ciean w the shavings and cliips of wood from the carpenter's tooL This ancient word now has beei given a sinister connotation, expressive of the temper of the! time. No swinging broadaxe is the tool in U3e, but the gnawing, persistent chisel. The employer is busy with his chisel, chiseling wages here, paring them there. The buyer is busy with his chisel, shopping round, forcing discounts here, forcing cuts there. The housewife is busy with her chisel cutting down house hold expenses. The merchant himself is industriously, chisel ing down his selling prices in hopes of a glorious resurrec tion of buying. I . The government is falling fn step, taking a thin film off its own expenses, and chiseling clear under the hides of the taxpayers. Chisel, chisel, everyone has a chisel. The tool is all theiragc. Hardware stores must be sold out of them. 7 , "And we chisel, chisel here. And we chisel, chisel there; Here a chisel, there a chisel, Chisel, chisel, chisel ... .". So busily has the world been chiseling, the tool is get- ting worn clear to the shank, vyny not give tne cnisei a rest, and use some other tool for a while? , There are the lever ! -ftla -fKf lif finer f nirtosa TTP.

No such attack has yet appeared. The most he- rbic thing about Frank Roosevelt, the cnly heroic thing we know of, is his battle against I infantile paralysis. Only his sheer will power and determination could have lifted him from being a hopeless cripple to a man able now to get about with the aid of canes. There i3 nothing we know of respect ing the nature of the disease which threatens hi3 life now or imDairs his mental faculties. At the same time, the country mast have regard to eventualities. Any president may break under the load. Out of the last four residents two have broken down while in office, one of them dying. So who can nrooerlv fill the presidency is important. In 4hat resDect neoDle are justified in pacities of Charles Curtis and highest office m the land. We rate Curtis and Garner both as small, men. uurtis has had a wider range of contacts and experience, and his judgment is regarded as safer; but he is old, unoriginal, standpat Garner is younger: and wilder. His wildness is chiefly political. He is wealthy himself, and his character as a southern democrat should hold him to conservatism if he ver became president. He Seems however to have slight political philosophy which hajs made Him undependable as ; speaker of the house. j No matter whether Hoover or Roosevelt is elected pres ident, the country may with propriety pray that he may be permitted to serve out his full term, so deficient is the offer ing in vice presidents. .! j' Sea dreezes mllREE days is the usual limit for hot weather in this val- X ley.

THAT a dean, clear and healthy skin is a valuable as set no one will question. Dunne the summer months sua disorders are more common than at any other time of th year. Th sweat glands are more active ta hot weather and th skin is more liable to infec tion. Today I want to tell you about a few of the summer skin diseases and how to prevent them.

The Willamette university does not date from 1851 but was found as the Oregon Institute February 1, 1842, was opened for classes August 13, 1844, and its name was changed to Willamette university January 13, 1853, by th Oregon territorial legislature holding Its sessions In the basement of its building. Salem manufactures woolens but no flour and very little ma chinery; though the first building on Its site housed a grist mill as well as a sawmill, and it pioneer ed in th msnufacturing of flour on a large scale, and in exporting flour and wheat. But Salem is a large scale manufacturer of paper and paper products and of flax and linens, and extensive fruit and vegetable canning and packing plants are located here, with out puts making a total of something like a third of all the volume go ing to near and distant markets from th whole of the Pacific northwest. Also major packing op erations are carried on here in walnuts, filberts, cherries for maraschino and fresh fruit trades; this is Oregon center for ship ments of strawberry plants, seed potatoes, celery and head lettuce, bulbs, garden seeds, etc. And from this center go practically all th onion sets used west of the Rock- Rinrworm usually affects the hands or th feet, but it may ap pear on other parts of the body.

This simple precaution will prevent much un necessary suffering. Ringworm should be treated by a Eysician, and carry attention ia portant. Host persons ar negligent about their diet and manner of Irving dur- tng th summer months, iattnc spoiled food, th incomplete chew ing of food, excessive as of spices, or eating food difficult to digest fre quently leads to another common skin condition known as 'uxtkaria" or hrrea.1 Th preventioa of this disease is easier than its cure. "Iain tiro eonta'aosa,' not unlike ringworm of feet or hands, is an other skin disorder commonly seen ta summer. Tt usually afflicts chil dren, and in adults it is known as barber's itch." This is aa infectJoas disease that quickly spreads from on child to another. Yellowish patches of crusted sores appear oa th face, and may spread to th chest and other parts of th body. Th dis ease ia rarely serious, and quickly responds to treatment when aa anti septic ointment is applied to th affected parts. If any other skin disorders appear to be more prevalent ta summer months, caused, as a rule, by care Th skin plays aa important part in th mechanism of th body and should be cleansed every day. A daily warm bath followed by a cold shower will aid a let ia keeping th skia healthy. Health Qncriea Mrs. J. Q. What eanses my face to bo red all th time? - Aw This mar b due to poor cir culation.

Reluctant to run away, yet anxious to avoid recognition, ah began building sand castles in seem ing absorption. . . . The bather passed her, some distance away. Disappeared. Was lost to her. The years of her childhood un rolled before her a thousand scenes in which her stately father had stepped out of his world of books and dreams into her world of child ish activities. ... He sat with her on the banks of the bayou back of th plantation, tying hunks of fat meat on strings to be east out for crayfish to nibble, or, perhaps, swal low; whereupon would come an ex citing moment.

If th metropolitan dis trict were counted, including West Salem, th peopl in th southern suburbs, and th east ern and northern, with several state institutions and th United States Indian training school, th population showing would be around 40,000.

"Is it as bad as that?" asked a vole at her aide. The bather whose tall form she had found so familiar, now in whit flannel and soft shirt, dropped on th sand beside her. Reclining on on elbow, he stretched his long legs toward th tide. Every line' of his darkly fas cinating face eyes at once grave and suffused with gaiety, as if in their depths lay some subtile joy ousness, even his long beautiful hands and easy grace had at som time been flung tmperishably upon her memory. Yet never before, she knew, had she heard the lazy laugh ing voice. "If you have blue devils," he re marked casually, "you need com pany. Fve found solitude the worst possible remedy for a sick mind." "Your wisdom, I dare say, is ab solute," she said stiffly. He threw back his head and laughed with a boyishness that drew her eyes in spit of her. Then, surprisingly, before she had time to remove her indignant gaze, his face changed, all his gaiety snuffed out by a vast and mysterious mel ancholy. He turned to the sea, grave, meditative, sharply with drawn within himself, lost in a measureless world to which she had no access, unaware of her aston ished regard. She felt small and humiliated.

Out of the corner of her eye she noted the fin embroidered mono gram on his shirt sleeve "J. L." J. L.? The lone fingers of his right hand were drawing blind patterns in the sand. Clean patterns, sure of line, the unconscious tracings of a trained hand. ... Is he a famous artist whose pictured face I know? But that wouldn't account for the familiarity of gesture and chang ing expression. He picked a small shell from the sand, crushed it and dropped its dust into his open palm, thereby revealing the most amazing hand she had ever seen Slim, strong and flexible, smooth on the back, and perfectly manicured, the hand of an artist with a palm incredibly calloused. Every mound, almost to the tips of his fingers, like hard gristle, seamed and dry. The men Patricia knew had hands as soft as her own, with, perhaps, a few callouses proudly earned with golf sticks, and proudly boasted. Here was the undoubted result of unceasing toQ. What was the meaning of a workman's palms in an artist's hands? Had he been born to great wealth and reduced to the most de meaning poverty? . . .
