The issue is primarily one see in the published list the name of a single economist. Most of them are literary persons who for their wares in the capitalist countries And their wares have been the literature of rebellion. Preiser who is typical - of the lot is something of a literary bum. There is scant art in his writing, nor is he particularly profound in his think ing. As "intellectuals" the group is not! marked by any great sliow of learning, and their work is transient in character both as art and as philosophy. j Things are going badly in capitalist countries; but the prolonged tailsnin no loncrer threatens to end in a crash. Meantime tfie world may wait the Russian experiment. Conditions inj Russia will probably be the worst this year of any since the: famine year of 1921. Even the foreigners are now reported on short food rations. Food prices have leaped,-eggs up 250, meat prices about 100. There were plenty of green vegetables this summer because the peasants were permitted again to peddle them in private trade. I The collectives, which Stalin depended on to produce an abundance of grain for home consumption and for export to - obtain the foregin credits needed to pay for heavy machine ry, are not working according to plan. Machine farming has been breaking down and it is reported that near Odessa 30 of the tractors were disabled. Workers on the collective farms have been on strike because of the failure of the state to ship in enough goods to satisfy them. An effort has been made to satisfy the collectives by permitting them to engage in local trade, but the peasants are still unwilling to work and toil and then have their grain removed while the villages go hungry as they did last winter. Conditions may be bad in America, but we think a few Americans and none of the "intellectuals" signing the com munist endorsement are willing to exchange residence here for Russia. When pronounced emigration from the United States and England and Germany and France to Russia starts in, then we may have might be a better system. A Word for Charlie i Dawes WHEN Charles G. Dawes resigned an a mrrry irom UM R. F. C. and went back to his babk in Chicago he ar rived too late to get its affairs in order jwithout outside help. The R. F. C, federal reserve and Chicago and New York banks came to his aid chiefly because the failure of his big bank in theXhieago loop district might have made such a rent in the dyke that the whole banking structure of the city would have gone down. Because of his big loan Dawes has been criticized and the R. F. C. Was been criticized. It is now reported that Dawes will pay joff the depositors m his Central Republic bank and will organize a new bank with new capital and make a fresh start. Instead of criticism of Dawes we believe when the full ftory is written that he will prove worthy of praise. Most of the years since 1917 Dawes has devoted himself to the pub lic service. As a general in the army, a$ director of the bud get when it was first organized, as vice! president, as ambas sador to London, as member of the Dawes commission m Europe, as head of the Reconstruction! Finance corporation, Dawes gave freely of his abundant energies and of his pri vate means for the service of his country. In Chicago, when one of the big banks was in trouble, thq Dawes bank absorb ed it and paid depositors in full. If the Central Republic is liquidated we make the prediction that not only its depos itors will not lose a cent, and the banks and government agencies which advanced the loan wilij not lose a cem, uu " that Charles Dawes and his brothers will Put their private fortune in the bank to make good any losses which the very nature of the times has caused eveik for most cautious banks. It is something heroic to see Dawes at 67 battling in Chicago to make good his stewardship of other people s funds and preparing, if report be true, to seek once more to, rebuild his fortune through new adventure. Such fidelity to trust deserves praise and not censure and it is by the way, typical of the sacrifice which is being made by many men of affairs who esteem a good name above great riches. Greta Garbo is said to be maintaining her rule- of silence- in her ! native Sweden. She rarely appears in public ind is Quite uncommun icative.

His intimates say he Is actually garrulous In strictly private conversation.

He has been strong for research and devoted much of his time as president .of the university to making it an institution of research. Then Dr. Hall is trained in the social sciences, so this post will give him an oppor tunity he must have longed for: to conduct research in a field of his major-interests. He can work too, free from the controversies of politico-public education. j Portland is all bedecked with bunting and festoons of cedar for the greeting of the , AmericanLegIon convention.

As we grow old er, deposits of opaque material may occur in the crystalline lens condition" r o - P1 duces a haziness of the vision in the afflicted eye. Cataract is most commonly seen In old age, although it may occur in the young, at birth even. It is often seen accompanying certain general diseases. It is exceedingly common in elderly people suffering from di abetes. It may follow the taking of cer tain poisons, such as ergot and naphthalin. They interfere some how in the nutrition of tb lens of the eye. The accumulated poisons attack this delicate structure. Cataract may occur as the result of a blow or other injury to the eye. This is called "traumatic cataract." In this type the hasiness Is due to a rupture of the capsule of the eye. This break permits the watery fluid within the eyeball to enter the crystalline lens, producing cloudi- ness. ' Immediate medical attention is necessary in an accident of this sort. TX7 vv 1 '. v.

Scott, in the Oregon Historical Quarterly for March, had a thorough review of the "beaver money," $5 and $10 gold pieces, coined in 1849, at Oregon City. This article will appear in full in this column, beginning: "m "Beaver money, $5 and flO gold pieces, coined in 1849 by a company of pioneers, was in cir culation several years, until coins of the United States mint at San Francisco came into use in 1854. V "Called 'beaver because the coins bore the stamp of that fur bearing animal, in imitation, by the way, of an emblem on the fur trade tokens of the North West company and the seal of the ter ritorial government of 1849-59, this money was the product of pio neer necessity and ingenuity, at a time when the new settlement was using, as media of exchange, beav er skins, wheat, bills, drafts and orders, gold dust and silver coins of Mexico and Peru, all of chang- take vigorous action to the end of securing support for the county nurse employment by the county court, which says it will do so if the people vote for it. The acceptance of Charles Hall as an independent candidate for governor against Ben W. 'Olcott, republican, and Walter M. Pierce, democrat, was received by the sec retary of state yesterday. Unfortunately, many a victim ot cataract goes on for years, not knowing he can be helped. He may not go to his physician for relief until both eyes are involved. By a simple operation he may be kept from years of partial blindness. The symptoms of this condition appear so gradually that the true cause may be overlooked. Aa a rule, there is a gradual decrease of vision without pain or inflamma tion of the eyes. Contrary to a common belief, ca taract cannot be cured by medi cines, salves, drops or other form of treatment. Surgery is the only means of cure. While there are oa the market many alleged cures f oi cataract, none has been scientifical ly proved of real value. If a mem ber of the family has a cataract, consult with your physician. Ht will advise you and recommend aa eve surgeon. The operation is ad vised while vision of the other eyt continues to be good. Sometimes certain reasons exist for the delay of the operation. This can only be determined by the physi cian after a thorough, examination of both eyes. Diabetic patients should receive careful general medi cal attention before undergoing the cataract operation. If necessary in sulin should be given. The operation itself b a simple one and need cause no fear. If sur gery has been advised, do not delay. By proper care of the eyes, many of its ailments may be escaped. If yon need glasses get them. Never permit foolish pride to cause yon to spurn glasses. Not only will yon see better by having them, but they will help to prevent blindness, even cataract perhaps. Q. What causes numbness in the legs? A. This may be due to poor cir culation.

S "The beaver stamp certified the coins were pure gold, 130 or 260 grains each. Although the United States government has sole right under the constitution to coin money, yet at that time when the government was not exercising the right on the Pacific coast, the pi oneers were not molested. Califor nia men were also stamping gold coins at the same time. (The first California gold takens were rec tangular gold bars worth S20 and $50; then gold pieces of f 2.50, $5, ?10, $20, $25 and $50, resem bling national coins . . . bearing the names of the coiners . . . The Philadelphia mint reports in 1851 upon the coinage of 15 pri vate California mints; Bancroft, History of California, VII. 165.) Gold dust (nuggets and fine par ticles) came to Oregon from Cali fornia in exchange for farm prod ucts. (In less than two years, gold of the value of at least $2,000,000 had reached Oregon; Carey, His-' tory of Oregon, 407.) The dust was of varying values, due to in trinsic differences, sand and tricky admixtures. Maay persons suffered loss in trade. Few had scales to weigh the dust, and few could de termine the value. After the beav er coins appeared, dust rose from $11 to $16 an ounce, because of the honest market for gold sup plied by the pioner coiners. "- "- "The 'mint' was operated Iby the Oregon Exchange companya vol untary association, not incorporat ed. The company made little or no profit. The members were W. K. Kilborne, Tbeophilus Magruder, James Taylor, George Abernethy, W. H. Willson, William H. Rec tor, John G. Campbell and Noyes Smith. The initial ef each man's last name was stamped, on the coins; on the $5 tokens, thus: K.M.T.A.V.R.G.(C)S.; also: Ore gon Exchange Company 130 G (grains) Native Gold 5 D (dol lars) T O (Territory of Oregon). The letter O should have been C (for Campbell). The $10 coins, made later, omitted the letters A (Abernethy) and W. (Will son), and changed O to C (Camp bell) and T O to O T (Oregon Ter ritory). "J. O. Campbell wrote a letter in 1865 to Samuel E. May, secre tary of the state of Oregon, say ing the design of the dies was drawn by myself.' and adding that the dies were made by W. H. Rector and Hamilton Campbell. Bat other evidence indicates that Hamilton Campbell made the $5 die, and Victor M. Wallace the $10 die; that Thomas Powell, a Salem blacksmith, forged the roll ers and Rector and Wallace did the lathe work for the press. Rec tor's narrative is as follows: 'The Yesterday Statesman reporters asked: "Who is your favorite can didate for president? Why?" R. Larsea, farmeri "Roosevelt I'm through with Hoover." John Peterson, laborer i "I hate to Tote for either, but I think it will be Hoover." Sire. William F. Garnjobst, housewife : "President Hoover. I eouldnt tell yon Jast why." B. T. Hamer, farmeri "I don't take much interest in politics. If I were voting. I think I'd vote for Hoover. He has tried to do what he could to help conditions, not that he has done everything, of coarse. I think he's able and hon est, has done all that anybody could." New Views HEART CHAPTER TII1RTT.TWO Laureate stood still, making no effort te search for Patricia.

He bad left the hotel by the back way, circling around them, so Warren could make no charge. After a. moment she came oat. "Oh," she half sobbed, he lied. Then went away and left me. He meant for me to sneak around to the other side and get away, then lot yon find me." "No, he didn't. He decided it would be better for yon to walk back with me. That's why ho told mo yon were here, and left yon.' "Why 'did he push me into that bosh anyway, aa if we were doing something sneaky; then lie about it? If you'd been with me and he'd come out, yon wouldn't have pushed me out of sight as if yon were ashamed of me; then lied, and left me to sneak off like a criminal. "No, I wouldn't have had to.

Unmindful of who might bo passing and see her, she came out on the walk. A slim figure darted out of the shadows. "You see, Mrs. Warren,1 hissed Arthur. "Now will you do something to stop them?" "Yon contemptible little sneak," Pamela cried, her suppressed hurt and rage flaring up to vent itself on him. "Bragging around the hotel about the gun you were carrying, then crawling out here to spy. I did feel sorry for you. Now I'd like to step on you, yon little worm. He began to blubber. Y ou didn't want me to kill him, did you? thought you loved him. It was for your sake I wanted to " "Liar! You came out to do some thing and lost your nerve." "Well, Jack Laurence followed them, too. He was on the veranda when they came out. I saw him go through the lobby toward the back as I followed them out the front way. He must have meant to do omething too. But he didn't." "He did enough. All he came out to do. Take her back. And he didn't follow them under everybody's eyes either, as you did. He came out the back way. And he didn't spy. He let then know he was coming." "He sneaked around and came up from the other way." "To keep from making a scene. Oh, I hope he saw yon following them openly, advertising them, and that he gives you the trouncing I'd like to give you." She turned away to the hotel, en tering the rear. Stark, for the first provisional legislature of 1849 had passed a law authorizing the coining of money in the name of the provisional government, as the gold dust was not a convenient currency, and, besides that, there was but little else. There had been several attempts made to coin the gold, but all proved a failure. As soon as I was landed at Oregon City, I was employed to get up something that would put the gold in a convenient shape for use as money. With the aid of a good blacksmith and a gauge rest for turning Iron, I got up an original contrivance for coining money. One of the mission ministers did. the engraving. The money was not elegant up to the times, but equally as good as the English coin ot George Ill's reign. I was well paid for this work and con tinued to work at it until about September 1, 1849, when I deter mined to go to the mines again. They did not coin any more gold after I left.' (Lockley, History of the Columbia River Valley, 1080 81.) "The pure gold quality of the coins made them 8 or 10 per cent more valuable than gold coins of governmental mintage, which con tain some 10 per cent alloy. In consequence the beaver coins soon disappeared from circulation; were melted Into bullion; were taken to the mint at San Francisco and re colned. The premium on the $5 beaver coin was 50 cents, and on the $10 coin, $1. The reason for the pure gold quality is thus stat ed by George IL Himes in a letter to James Steel, state bank exam iner (1907): 'The exchange com pany made the beaver coins of pure gold so that there could be no question about their redemp tion, as soon as the regular coin age ot United States money was put into circulation.' s "James Henry Brown, in Politi cal History of Oregon, page 456, says of the minting-tools: Thomas Powell was employed to do the forging at $1 per pound for iron used. They had considerable dif ficulty in obtaining the iron, but by using old wagon tires and such -scraps as could bo found, they Daily Thought "I wish that I could say I knew Wood row Wilson.

She tore herself out of her gown; Jerking, ripping the fragile thing apart in the fury that possessed her. With fingers that shook aho got into ber nightgown and taking down her hair, tried to braid it, ber maid being down stairs. Her fingers shook so that they tangled them selves in her hair, tore it. She gave up and lay down, but sst up im mediately. Oh. the cruelty of youth! Having heard the gossip that Arthur Savage was carrying a gun (for whom, being deleted for ber ears) and watching his face from time to time during the evening aho had trembled inwardly when she saw him follow Jimmie and Pat onto the veranda. That a scandal imminent, whether Arthur tried to use the gun or not, she was convinced. She had run out into the yard in aheer panic to watch from the darkness what took place on that veranda. It had not occurred to her that Jimmie would leave it in the face of the rocking chair brigade. Patricia a malicious little speech to hurt Jimmie, in which she had repeated Jack Laurence's summary of the situation, had revealed to Pamela not only how it all had come about; but also Patricia's blameleasness. Her face burned with shame for Jimmie. A baby like Patt A little inexperienced girl who had never wanted to be kissed till that day, . . . Oh, it was inconceivable! It undermined all her confidence in Jimmie not as her husband but as a man. And he had aaid he would not go on the cruise if Pat were going to New York. . . . Then, what? Divorce. . . . She, Pamela, would be asked to step out. To take a trip to Paris and buy a nice respectable divorce, What a poor thing marriage was if any little school girl with fresh lips and surprised eyes could step into it and "Excuse me, will you step over to Paris and get yourself a divorce? I'd like to try your hus band for awhile. ... If I don't like him. . . . Oh, welL those things can be arranged Pacing the floor, mulling over every word of their conversation, analyzing, sifting, Pamela decided that whatever Jimmie might think of his feeling for Pat, the girl did not love him. It was so amazingly clear that but for his psychological appearance, holding out both sym pathy, and escape from Blaine as his bait, Pat would never have thonght of him in the light of a lover. Her response to Jack had been of a different order, spontan eous and natural. No confusion of emotions there. Clean young de sire for a man who was a suitable mate for her. Without doubt she would have loved him had she not been blinded fcy the passion Jimmie had aroused in her. "Well, it cant be arranged, Jim mie Warren," Pamela stormed. "If she were a woman, and I knew von no longer loved me I'd get out of your way. But not for a child who would tire of you and throw you oat as you'd deserve. Fm not going to give up my position to make ducks and drakes of all our Uvea. I may leave you later. But not now, Not until she has come to her senses, at any rate.' She heard the key turn in War ren's door. She stood still, thinking. Presently she crossed to the mirror. eventually, by welding the pieces together, made a very good ma chine, for which he (Powell) re ceived $60. Mr. Rector did the lathe work himself (probably on the Wallace lathe), but Mr. Tow ell assisted during the whole pro cess and received $40 extra pay. Hamilton Campbell did the en graving on the die ($5).' S "The beaver coinage was a sub stitute, on private account, for provisional government coinage which latter was provided for in an act of the legislature.

As aho entered and saw him stand ing by a window from which be bad turned at ber knock, quite suddenly all ber woman fury was swallowed in the motherhood of a childless wife to whom he had become more and more her child as ardor waned between them. Absurd though it was for a man of bis experience, there could bo no doubt that ho was infatuated with Pat. And because of it bo was suffering, even as Pamela was suf fering. She stood hesitantly is the door way, almost startling in her beauty, a negligee of silver tissue over rose drawn dose about her slender form. black hair streaming, all the re pressed motherhood of her sterile years shining in her dark eyes. His glance shifted as if be found there something he could not face. And now that she had come, she did not know what to say. He broke the silence. "I noticed you had left. I won red " Still he did not look at her. "I had a headache," she said. "I came up and went to bed. I heard you come in, and " She saw a look of concern in his eyes. He started toward her. Her eyes drifted from his face. Her own hurt and anger returned. How dare he pretend concern because her head ached, when he had given her this terrible agony of the heart? "It's better. I wasn't sleepy and I thought I'd come in and have a chat with you." "Good," he said eheerfully. He made her comfortable in a big chair. Looking down at her white face upturned to the light, her long lids lowered, it occurred to him, as it had a thousand times before, that surely God could produce nothing more beautiful. He bent to kiss her. She turned her cheek. Giving her the merest touch of his lips he drew away, chilled, and sitting down clipped the end of a cigar. "Jimmie," she began in her soft drawling voice. "I'd like to ask a favor of you." His fact lighted. "You don't often." Adding in the boyish way she had so loved. "There's nothing I like better than playing fairy god father to a lovely woman, especially when she happens to be my wife. I hope it's a big favor. Something hard to do." Oh, how could he speak like that. . . . "It is. And it may be." She was trying to make smoke rings. "Shoot!" "I'd like to ask you to make a business trip to Miami that will cover about four days." His face grew serious. "For you?" "WelL I'm interested. But mostly for Pat. And yourself. Cousin John will be here in about that time, and I think it would be more decent.
