News Stands 5 centa France Defaults THE decision of France to default in payment of the in stalment due on its debt to this country will produce profound repercussions throughout the world. For the first time in history France has repudiated a solemn obligation. This "decision, considering the fact that France is abundant ly able to pay, is a sad blow to public credit, which is the basis of all commercial intercourse. It will have a freezing effect upon future international commitments. In contrast with this refusal of France to meet its debt is the attitude of Great Britain, which will meet its instalment tomorrow. Great Britain is short of gold, has been forced off the gold standard. Her currency is at a discount of about one-third. But Great Britain will pay. One cannot refrain from paying a high tribute to the honor and fidelity of Britain. Not without reason has Britain , become the world's financier. Strict rectitude has marked her meeting of obligations to others. What a contrast there is in the attitude of France to day and in 1917. Then the French were overjoyed because the Yankees were coming to their rescue. They were on the point of being pushed into the sea when Yankee soldiers were rushed into the gaps of the lines to save the day for France and "civilization". Then France was ready to pledge almost everything to their rescuers. Today they refuse to pay even instalments on post-war purchases acquired at a frac tion of the original cost. For our own part we have been fa vorable to a reopening of the war debt agreements; but French default in the face of her vast reserves of gold, is des picable. The. default of France and Belgium will create a frac ture in international accord. Better far to have paid and then sought an international conference for further scaling down of debts. Default now leaves the whole matter in abey ance ; and promises to promote paralysis of trade. The United States could easily exact payment by levying on French bal ances in New York, but that would produce further irrita tion and bad feeling. The situation becomes grave, not as fruitful of war; but as a fresh barrier to restoration of international commercial intercourse on a big scale. Domestic prosperity awaits such revival in trade. The debt impasse will serve to retard this revival and prolong the uncertainty and snarling which de feat efforts at trade renewal. Impeaching the President WHILE only eight votes were mustered for the McFadden resolution to impeach President Hoover, the very fact that such a measure was introduced indicates the bitterness of personal feeling held in some quarters against the pres ident. Some of the hunger marchers carried banners with the legend "We'll hang Herbert Hoover to a sour apple tree". As no president since Abraham Lincoln, Herbert Hoover has been personally reviled and condemned. Yet it is doubtful if there has been a president since Lincoln with the exceptions of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson who have been more completely consecrated; to national service than Herbert Hoover. None has worked harder, taken less time off, than Mr. Hoover. He has sacrificed his personal fortune in the public service. Mistakes he has made; but he has committed o high crimes and misdemeanors. There was no shadow of justification for the impeachment proceedings. When such irresponsibles as McFadden vent their per gonal spleen against the president our form of government suffers. Good men become reluctant to expose themselves to the shafts of venom which are aimed at public officials. In times like the present when nerves are taut and feelings are raw it is easy to vent spite and abuse on public servants. But true-hearted Americans should bow their heads in shame when, a representative in congress seeks to impeach a man who has for tne oest penoa uj. ui me ucwkh stintedly for his country's welfare. Henry Hansen, budget director, says he didn't Intend to shut up the experiment stations, but let the expense come out of the regular millage. If that Is done, after the lopping off the million extra tax money, consolidation will be forced because there will be only enough money left to run one university with. Rath Judd lost her appeal to the supreme court, and Is doomed to hang February 17th. Poor woman was crazy, so Bob Ruhl thinks, and he attended the trial; but the law declared her sane so she will hang by the neck until dead, unless the governor grants a re prieve. I The Eugene News has figured up that all the articles It ran on the late Zorn-Macpherson bill. If put together would make a news paper 25 pages big. It's all right with us If they do that with all the propaganda, and then touch a match to it. We note new amendments proposed to the game code. If the leg islature met every month a new game law would be proposed at each session. And what about the Rogue River bill? Trading will be slow If there is no Rogue closing bill to barter over. Portland police are to have a school to teach them how to get evidence. We thought what the Portland police needed was in struction to use the evidence which they now seem to walk around on their beats. A man in the gallery of the house of representatives drew-a tan and demanded the right to speak.

Newspapers and magazine are recording continuously the ad vances made In our knowledge of vltamlna Hack of value Is being taught. I believe too little attention has been placed upon "carotin", one of the "pro tective" food sub stances. Recent experiments ap pear to show that carotin possesses the same quali ties and advan tages found la vitamin A. It prevents I n f e c- Or. Copeland tlon and aids the body In resisting certain diseases. This valuable substance la found In carrots, butter and egg yolk. These are called "yellow foods" The color Is due to the carotin they contain. Carotin may be found, too. In foods that are not yellow. A certain amount la carried by the leafy vegetables and whole milk from which butter is ob tained. Essential to Growth Experiments recently conducted show that vitamin A Is found la the foods which contain carotin. But both substances are not always found together. As a matter of fact many foods contain vitamin A but no caro tin. The action of carotin on the body Is generally believed to be Identical with that of vltairln A. which Is es Bental to growth. But -some authori ties) believe carotin la even more ef fective as a cure and preventive of disease than the vitamin. Since carotin Is abundanUy found la carrots, egg yolk and butter, these foods should be Included In the diet of children as well as adults. Car rota may be given to the Infant as early as the ninth month. At this period give one to three tablespoons of the strained vegetable When the child Is elder, carrots can be given with milk, or In the soup, or served with baked potato. In addi tion to furnishing the necessary min erals, vitamins and carotin, this food aids La preventing constipation. Use Yellow Foods Egg yolk may be gtven the Infant from the seventh to the ninth month. It Is sometimes recommended aa early as the second month If the baby Is anemic or shows signs of rickets. It la best not to ive the white of the egg during the Orst year. Some authorities even advise against giving it during the second year. When giving egg yolk to an Infant begin with one teaapoonful, two or three times a week txtd increase until a whole yolk la taken once a day. Egg yolk adds Iron. lime and phos phorus to the diet These are essen tial to bono and Ussue growth. Many persons overlook the nutri tive value of butter. This yellow col ored food, rich in carotin, can be given to the Infant After the ninth month a little butter should be spread on the bread or toast Butter Is ex cellent food to supply heat and en ergy. It is made from milk, of course, which Is the most nearly per fect food. If you nave been negligent In the use of these yeUow colored foods, be gin now to add them to 'your dally diet.

S S Much might be written about Toy, the Chinaman who was sus pended by one hand by Mr. Lein inger, (a large man), while with the other he (Toy) put out incip ient blazes with the other hand, holding a wet broom. He was a local character of the old days. Aa the writer remembers, Toy was a small man, very agile, and active. He was employed as cook and general housekeeper by a number of well to do families, as was the custom of those times, when Salem had a real "China town," with 300 or more popula tion, beginning in the early eighties, about the time when the exclusion act against further Mon golian immigration took effect, s S This was in or around 1882, when literally ship loads of these people, mostly from the southern part of the empire, were brought over; principally Cantonese. Some 4000 of them were employed when the extension of the rail road south from Roseburg was commenced, in 1882, with their "Six companies" headquarters in that city. That organization acted in the capacity of a padrone con cern, contracting their labor, and bearing the expenses ot their im portation. In railroad construc tion, they performed the work that would now be done with excavating- machinery. The labor of these people was contracted out to many farmers for clearing the land, especially in the Willamette valley. Toy was a faithful and honest ser vant, and he came to be well known In the leading families of Salem, where he was popular on account of his genial manners and disposition, and his liberality. After Toy had moved to Port land, the beet people here were remembered by him with presents at holiday times, and no one was ashamed to recognize him on the streets of the metropolis. The ex ploit of the wet broom incident made him something of a hero and a character In the sagas ot the capital city. The files of The Statesman for 1895 tell many stories that, com monplace then, sound strange to the young- people ot the present day. Tola is a new item In the "HayesrUle Notes:" "The debate at the school house on last Satur day evening (March ) was quite interesting and well attended. The question was, 'resolved that there Is more pleasure In married life than In single.' The Judges gave the decision la favor of the affirmative. The question for next Saturday will be. 'resolved that women should have suffrage.' " The decision at the meeting first named favoring the ladies. It does not follow that the next one did, though the writer failed to find record of that one; tor the vote at the state election ot the previous June showed equal suffrage shamefally defeated. One wonders If the debate following was on, "resolved that tire is more destructive than water." Any way, that was a favorite subject In sucb. debates ot the period.

This, he per ceived, wonld not do at alL Trouble and difficulty enough arose out of the events. He must certainly not allow them te jeopardise those dearest hopes of hs, which had been blossoming with promise of so rich a fruition. He must remember that women were anions creatures. addicted to eccentricities of vision. allowing emotional influences to de flect the light ef reason. There was no prevailing with them by hard common-sense alone. It provoked their hostility. He saw signs of this in Priscilla, and unless he changed his coarse to humour her, unless he addressed himself to her emotions, rather than to her Intelligence, which he perceived to lie dormant. the argosy of his hopes might foun der under him In these very difficult waters. He assumed aa air of gentle. patient melancholy. "Dear Priscilla, do yon realize, I wonder, the wrong you do me 7" He sighed. "You find me wanting in generosity. You are right And yet 30c a pound; potatoes, 20 to 25c a bushel; beef on foot, 2e a pound. And no one remembers a depression in that year. S S A great stallion show would look strange on Salem's streets now. Such an exhibition was an annual and popular event then. The Statesman of Sunday, March 20, 1885, contained a full column article, with a prominent head ing, the words of introduction these: "The fifth annual stallion show, which took place in this city yesterday, was a success in every particular, being well at tended by horsemen and farmers from all parts of Marion and ad joining counties. The parade and exhibition were conducted in a manner that reflects credit oa the managing committee. Buyers were enabled to make their desired se lections, and an breeds from a Percheron to a thoroughbred trot ter were present." (The reporter was not up on breeds. A thoroughbred, as ap plied to horses, is a runner. A trotting horse is a standard bred animal.) The "parade and exhibi tion," as old timers will recall, was a great eight always draw ing a regular circus parade crowd. The news article gave the names. ages, breeding, owners, etc, of the horses, and that year's. show ing comprised upwards of 10 an imals, probably, properly deploy ed, making a procession some thing like a mile long, being led or driven, with grooms and own ers, through the principal streets.

All for you, stab mel If I am impatient, un gracious, it is because of my con cern for you; for the distress, the anxieties, the fears that are afflict ing you. How can I be patient in the face of this? Blimey, Priscilla! How can I?" Her indignation melted before this display of noble concern which held no thought of self. The funda mental sweetness of her nature welled up to make her ashamed. "I am sorry, Bart I am very s t a p i d sometimes. Forgive me, dear." She held out a hand to him in appeal He came nearer, gently smiling, and took it between both his own. He was suddenly inspired by the note of tenderness which penitence had brought into her voice. Dimly he recalled a line heard in a play, a line written by some poet or other, one of those absurd ranters who expressed themselves in stilted, pompons phrases, in which some times, Major Sands confessed to himself, one found a grain of sense amid a deal of nonsense. He mar velled at the queer opportuneness with which the line came now to the surface of his memory, not perceiv ing that it was his own common place thought which borrowed for itself the majestie robe of that ex pression: There is a tide in the affairs pf man which taken at the flood leads on to fortune." Here now was the tide running Btrongly in his favour. Let him take it at the flood. "My dear! What man in my place, loving you as I do, could have any other thought?" "Dear Bart, I understand. I shoald have understood before." She looked up with soft entreaty in her candid eyes. He stroked the hand he held.

Her breath quickened, the colour ebbed from her face, and the candid eyes, that a moment ago had been so tender, held only alarm. "What are you saying, Bart?" Her right hand was withdrawn from between his fondling palms; her left pushed him gently away. "Are you . ." she choked a little. "Are you making love to me?" In profound dismay he spread his hands. "My dear!" he cried, pro testing vaguely. "Ohi How could you? How could you at such a time?" What he understood from this came mercifully to temper his dis may. It was the time that was ill chosen. He had been deceived, then. The tide, after alL was not yet at the flood. Her mind, distraught by peril, could hold the thought of nothing else. He had blundered by precipitancy. He had startled her.
