If-: ' -I -' Oregon for Hoover '
L rpHa presidential campaign draws to close. What had threatened
to be a republican, rout now gives some strong indication of re
Publican victory. That la true of Oregon. A few weeks ago It
' was correctly listed in the Roosevelt column. So abrupt and sweep
? lq has been-the change of sentiment, that Hooter electors appear
K aiiured ot success in this state.
45 If i It has been a strenuous campaign. Unea of strength have run
directly opposltei. The Roosovelt strength was at its peak In the early
:faj; but as Roosevelt talked he lost votes. He was forced to retreat
, frim one position after another, until now his stand on everything
i b4 beer la badly muddled. Hoover on tne other hand has ; progressed
r frifm strength to strength. Seldom or never hare we seen such trans
formation In a man. Long rather aloof, seemingly timid of the crowd
wjfch Its jostle, Hoover has emerged as a fighter. His speeches hare
; had force and rigor. If the battle Is won It will be purely a personal
, victory for Herbert Hoover. It It Is lost he goes down a fighting
"hero. .
Roosevelt's retreat haaAean conspicuous.- Starting out by con
inlng the Hawley-Smoot4ariff as a "ghastly jest", as a monstros-
itj:ho has already assured agriculture that he would not reduce ag
ricultural schedules and asuured labor that he stands for full protec
tion against products of cheap foreign labor. Thus he virtually gives
way his own case.
: If On the question of relief he takes virtually the same stand as
Pines. Hoover: that localities and states should take care of their
eaes,, calling on the federal government only when their local re-i
sources are not adequate. That Is exactly Hoovers stand.
If On the matter of the bonus Roosevelt kept silence for months,
filially admitting "it couldn't be paid"; but, his tardy declaration
wiis an index of weakness and not of courage.)
41 On the matter of economy Roosevelt wildly proclaimed he would

democratic house of representatives had not only emasculated the
economy bill in the last session, but his own, record for economy' in

CHAPTEa XXXV
That night, before Ptdge dropped
in for a smoke, Ted sat in .his
room, looked oat a the disturbed
lake, listened to the moaning winds.
He had been like that; his life had
been.
But now he was calm; Phyllis
had scattered oil oa his troubled
soul: she was perfection. He had
known that somewhere in the world
there was a girl like that was glad
he had waited,
Rosalie was a good egg bat she
argued; gave the impression she
was checking op oa some of bis
judgments and opinions. Barb was
sweet and all that but too much
.rouble, too much worry.
He had found a girl who melted
into his Ideal beautiful, talented,
senous; nice family.
Pidge would be his brother-in-
law. That would be funny.
"Weil, what yon laughing at?"
Pidge cried, flopping on a carefully
pressed doodad in a window seat
"Just thought of something
funny.
"The Thinker, I suppose. I no
ticed she was putting on the act for
you.
-Yes?"
"Sure, she always docs; leaves
most ot them groggy, out you
handled her just right fed her the
old daffydilio right back."
"You noticed it, eh?"
"Sure. I was betting she would-
n t put the works over on you.
"You mean you had a bet with
herr
"Oh ao; but she always does
and 111 give her the old berry be
cause she didn't put it over. That's
why I can't figure why I'm such a
setup.
"What do you mean?"
"Here I've been watching the kid
put over her stuff all the time look
behind the scenes, see and yet
go right out and eat up the same
Une.-
"Do they aQ put on acts?"
Sure a woman is as full of
tricks as a bridge game."
A ea blew smoke rings consecu
tively until they made a tunnel.
He looked through it
"Why the tricks, Pidge?"
"I don't know; the men are sup
posed to do the choosing you ask
who you want to go to this dance
or to marry you or something like
that you think you do just take
your pick from the gals la the show
windows.
"Being hi the windows they dress
p so much right?"
"Right Then while you're look
ing them over, the hand is quicker
than the eye, bingo, you're choosed
by the one you think you're choos
ing.
"They spot as a couple of touch'
lowne and then knock us off."
"Sure," Pidge continued. "They're
geared to it That's why women
grow op quicker, maybe. Lookit
Phyllis; just a Irid yet; but she's
been slaying them so long with her
tricks that she piles into yon with
HI the confidence in the world."
"Just to keep in practice," Ted
sodded.
"Sure and probably thinks she
poshed 'jroo over. Bat yo see
where she's going. She's Just a kid
in prep school, bat one of these
days shell really point for a guy
and he won't hare a chance."
"You're sure ifs an act, Pidge?"
"Sure you heard her work.
Probably told you how wonderful
you were toft-voiced, big eyes
that was the Janet Gaynor act
She heard me talk a lot about you
and looked you over and figured
you would go for that Now if I
should bring Stone home and if
I should somebody should drop me
in the lake she would put on the
Clara Bow. Hell, she's good."
Ted laughed. She was good all
right Pidge's theory was startling
and illuminating. It care Ted
what he had long needed, a key to
the manifestations of, the feminine
gender.
"But there's one more question.
Elinor Glyn," he asked. "Barney
says it's bad football to rely on
tricks for a basic game."
nThe game ends when the whistle
blows end this lore game ends
when the organ blows and that's
an these babies are interested
to win their big game."
All right quote you Barney
right back it isn't the play but the
execution. I know I'll probably go
right along, tit back of the wings
and help her put up the scenery
and then go out front and watch
the show."
"I'm afraid I'd walk out on the
show."
I guess maybe you would.
Well, you take a tip from an old
timer and do a lot of scouting be
fore you sign up for the big game.'
iea toon tne not Up and did a
lot of scooting. As winter slid into
spring he applied his cynical
searchlight to new girls, to mem
ones of old ones.
He observed women at dances, on
trains, in hotel lobbies, in stores,
on the streets; watched them be

they talked to their men, watched
them after their men had gone.

Tricks. It was part of their de
fensive mechanism. Why blame
them? lien had all the best of it
One night watching a movie
siren, he thought of Barb with bit
terness. It shocked him.
Always before he had excused
her deficiencies, glossed over them
as those of an indulgent child;
even found some comfort in the
bittersweet
Now Barb stood in her own col
oring, without the pastel draperies
with which his idealism had clothed
her. Rosalie had been right; Ro
salie seemed always to have been
right
Nor did he blame Barb. She was
what she was; not what he had
thought she was. If Barb didn't
love him. if she hadn't wanted to
be serious, if she wanted to think
it funa for Stone to manhandle
hei in pajamas it was her affair.
But Ted couldn't quite rid him
self of the Barb of his Imagination
the girl she might be the girl he
had loved.
The Barb business had to be
settled and cleared one way or an
other. -She was or she wasn't Ted

At New Dominion, contrary to
usual custom, the Prom was not
the major dance of the college year.
this spot being reserved for the
Senior Ball a four-day revel in the
final spring when college was sup
ping into the past and life was just
ahead. But the Prom was an im
portant two-day affair and the
Juniors brought on girls from home
for this as the Seniors did for the
ball
Pidge was fixing no the room.
He removed the Rouge Gallery and ,
Murderer's Row; tipped the janitor '
to sweep and dust it thoroughly;
polished everything that would
stand polishing and finished op by
going around the edges of the rug
witn a razor blade, cutting away
vagrant threads.
"I'm really nuts about this little
granite," rhe said enthusiastically.
"We've got to make a good im
pression with the room."
The little granite was from Chi
cago, the latest of an honorable line
of damozels over whom James
Pidgin had raved.
Ted was not so enthusiastic. He
had just received a wire which an
nounced that Barb would arrive at
five in the morning.-
"She might have picked a better
hour," he complained, "that means
I"ve got to get up about three and
hare a cab out here to take me in
and probably they'll forget and
III have to walk."
That's the women for you,"
Pidge laughed.
"It's this one, anyhow."
Barb stepped off the train in the
early gloom with maid and bags.
In the thrill of this first intimacy
of their relations Ted forgot his
discomfort forgot everything of
the past except that it had finally
brought her to him. They had
breakfast at the Bolivar.
The girls wanted me to back out
at the last minute," she informed
him casually, "but now I'm glad I
came." .
Should he thank her for not
running out on him? She was on
his home grounds now and he must
be a gentleman at all costs.
Pidge and Ted had hired a U-Drire-It
for the duration of the
Prom; that afternoon they called
at the hotel, picked op the girls
and drove about town and out to
the campus; Barb was vivacious
now, and friendly, and Ted took
on something of the feeling of a
homesteader showing his bride
about the ranch for the first time.
"Now," Pidge announced, "well
show you the room."
