Voting Prosperity
"M"PVEMBER 8th is election day. After that everything
will be hunkydory. Prunes will be worth soniething, woo!
will find buyers. Grandpa will suffer less from his rheuma
tic; and the old blue cow won't break 6ut of the lower pas
ture quite so often. !
, v it is strange this naive faith in the magic of the ballot.
Our spellbinders are perhaps responsible for it. Long have
they cultivated the idea that in this country the people were
sovereign and their votes each quadrennial November would
v solve their troubles, lift the loads off their backs, and waft
them into seasons of bliss. Thus the sovereign ballot is in
vested with powers of transcendent proportions.
Alas, for such hopes or fears. The ballot may be some
thing of a club, but it is quite impotent in the face of the
grinding laws which are not enacted by legislative bodies.
King Canute could not command the tides; nor can the
voice of a president or a congress conjure up prosperity.
.Pres. Hoover has been unable toi pull the rabbit out of bis
hat, try as hard as he could by uttering the magical syllaT
bles. i i r .
In 1930 there were many who voted for Gov. Meier
thinking that he might bring them prosperity. The governor
tried ; but the lot of the average man In the state has grown
sorrier in spite of the effort. I
Is the ballot futile then? Not altogether. Sound govern
ment policies must prevail as a shield for the free play of
economic laws ; but it is a mistake to believe that prosperity
te the private possession of one candidate or one party. The
Lord still helps those who chiefly help themselves.

C. B. ("Cy") Woodworth, Sa

now with offices at 1005 Guar

a contribution for this column
which reads:

-'Every city, village or hamlet
has its characters. Salem had its
quota, and more too. One of the
most prominent was Louis Byrne,
the baker, whose shop was on
Commercial street near the Ladd
and Bush bank.
S S
"He was spoken of as 'Louie
Burns' and was loved by the chil
dren. They all wanted to go to
the bakery. He had a gruff way
with the boys; he would shout
something at them when they
came in, and go after them about
something or other, and then slip
them a few cookies or a stick of
candy or something that boys like.
"In the early days bakery goods
were not mucn In demand, as the
women did their own cooking, and
it was consldeied bad form to use
bakery bread. The bread was dlf-
and from a careful physical exami
nation of the afflicted person.
Uf course it is not used in treating
heart disorders. But the treatment
can be more accurately determined
after the study of the electro-cardio
gram, the picture made by the electro-cardiograph.
The manner in which tbe electro
cardiogram is made is simpla.-
W hen ever a muscle contracts, an
electrical change is produced. The
heart is a muscle that contracts and
pumps the blood through the body.
The electrical current generated by
the heart may be recorded by con
necting a very sensitive instrument
for measuring electrical energy.
called the "galvanometer," to the ex
tremities of the body. The connec
tions are made to both arms; to the
right arm and left leg; or to the left
arm and right leg.
The instrument is attached to a
sensitive plate and actual photo
graphs are made of the various con
tractions of the heart. These are
studied and compared with the pie
tares of a normally acting heart.
Any alteration Is quickly recog
nized and the actual site of the dis
order is determined.
It is safe and painless proce
dure. No harm can result from this
examination. If yon have been ad
vised to have an electro-cardiogram
do not delay having it made. It will
enable your doctor to thoroughly
understand your ease. Take advan
tage of all the advances that have
been made by modern medical sci
ence. This method of examination Is an
accurate and scientific contribution
that has enabled medical science te
recognize and overcome ma ay se
rious heart ailments. I am telling
you about it because every such de
vice is helpful towards wiping oat
disease.
IB.T. Q. What is the cause
and core for styes?
A. Indigestion and constipation
may cause styes, or there may be
eye-strain. Correct the former con
dition when present. Have the eyes
examined to see if gists es are
needed.

which is a soft variety with a
very low content of gluten (the
word 'gluten' was almost unknown
then) which made a very soft
white bread very flaky. It was de
licious to eat. The flakes would
peel off easily and the children,
when carrying it home, would
poke a hole in the straw wrapper
and peel off flakes of it until it
looked like a rat had .been at it.

"There was a cracker machine
connected with the bakery, prob
ably the first cracker machine in
the northwest. Soda crackers, they
were called. It was a very simple
affair. The dough was un
through a pair of rollers many
times to get It the right consist
ency. This dough was then fed
through another set of rollers
that reduced it to the proper
thickness and also fed it onto a
draper which ran it under a set
of dies that formed the crackers.
It was all hand work, and as "the
bakery was a sort of bumming
place, there was no lack of help
to turn the machine, and no cost
to Louie. They usually took a few
warm crackers for pay. v
"He had a mania for attending
funerals; it was an obsession with
him. He always went whether he
knew .the deceased or not. It n-as
his custom to bring up the rear
of the procession. He wore a light
blue overcoat with a caDe lined
with red, the same as those worn
by the soldiers during the civil
war, in fact it was one of the
many that wa,i old by the govern
ment after the war.
"His vehicle was his express
wagon drawn by a flea-bitten roan
horse. Nearly all the processions
passed south on Commercial
street. Louis was waiting for it.
He would light a fresh cigar,
shift his cap to a Jaunty air, ad
Just his cigar to an acute angle,
mount the seat and bo the cab

the longest funeral processions
that Salem ever had."

CHAPTER TWENTT-NINB
"Oh, there's thai Mrs. Brown-
ley," Pat whispered. "Somehow
cant keep my eyes off her."
In a large rocker on the veranda
thrust from the center of the hotel
like a pointing finger toward the
sea, Mrs. Brownley sat, dressed in
her favorite sand color. The elderly
Mr. Drexel was talking eagerly to
nrr.
The woman was a flattering list
ener. Her soft haxel eyes glistened
with interest, never wandering. She
seemed to settle into a chair in
position of Complete repose.
Watching her in this listening at
titude, it always appeared to Pa
trida that here was instinctive
womanhood displaying her charms.
Without being pretty, Mrs. Brown
ley gave an impression of exceeding
prettiness.
. e m
umiao ice moaern gin, never
seen in one position long enough
to be fully admired, Mrs. Brownley
rested in prettiness. Each slow
move pointed it, giving one ample
time to ponder it.
Most of the men knew her, yet
she made no noticeable attempt to
engage their attention. If they
spoke in passing she replied pleas
antly; if they stopped to talk- she
listened flatteringly. She said little
on her side, and appeared always
at rest, yet never bored or ab
stracted. An aloof but interested
spectator of the hectic passing show
of life.
She would sit for hours on the
verandas, in the lounges, moving at
mealtime into the dining room or to
the pavilion for tea. Sometimes she
walked in the gardens or engaged
wheel chair for an hour or so. She
never danced, rarely swam, and
then only in the pool, never in the
sea though she was a good swim
mer.
The men spoke of her as "a love
ly little thing." "Heavens knows
why," said the women. "She's
neither blonde nor brunette; not
more than five feet four and must
weigh one hundred and forty
pounds. She has a lovely nose and
eyes, but her mouth is wide, and
her jaw really square."
Women followed her with their
eyes, interested in spite of them
selves. Now and then one of them
addressed her, driven by curiosity

who had run out to meet them.
"Why?" Jack asked, giving her
his hand.
"Oh, I don't know. The women
act sort of horrid to her, and she
seems so sweet and gracious when
people speak to her; yet never for
ward and pushing."
But, though they looked into each
other's eyes many times, Patricia
and Mrs. Brownley did not speak
during their stay in Palm Beach.
"For heaven's sake, where have
yon two been?" cried Mary Lou,
rushing out to meet them, her
round dark eyes alight. Everything
about Mary Lou was round and
alight when not determinedly bored.
Ve looked everywhere for you.
Did you forget today was the Indian
Sun Dance? Oh, it was too thrill
ing. So savage. The women all wore
millions bf Bteizgs of glass beads
and dresses made of strips of calico
sewed crosswise like the American
flag, only they had every color, red
and yellow .and everything. The
skirts were huge and down to their
ankles. And the men wore smocks
to the knees of the same, with a
tight belt at the waist. But they're
going to dance again this after
noon, if it doesn't cloud up. They
won't dance unless the sun shines."
"Let's hope the sun shines,'
chuckled Jack. "It must have been
ravishing.'
"It was. Where were you two
anyway? Arthur Savage has been
looking like a thunder cloud all
morning. If the .Indians had seen
him they wouldn't hare danced.'
She leaned toward Patricia and
whispered, "And Mr. Warren has
been wandering around like a lost
goat or lamb, whichever it is that
gets lost."
Aloud she added, "He asked me
if Td seen you, and I told him 1

Mary Loa stopped suddenly, her
little dark face aghast. "Not mar

laughed in public no matter what
happened. "One doesn't have te

people are too delighted to have
that ending."
They were joined by he gang."
"What are you going to wear to
night, Pat?" They all talked at
once. "It's fancy dress, you know.
No cutting in, I hear, intermissions
and programs and everything."
"If I don't get my program filled

with cutting in you can keep danc

cried Mary Lou.
"I never see yon dancing long

"No, but you never can tell what

coldblooded and legal looking. When

and a vacant stare. "Or I should

shallow blue eyes were almost in
