WtJmen in Public Life
STEADILY the women are gaining recognition in affairs
of state. President Roosevelt has appointed one woman
to be a member of his cabinet, another to be minister to
Denmark and a third to be director of the mint, breaking
precedents in each case. Little doubt is expressed over the
ability of each of these women to handle the work of the
jrspective offices quite successfully. Miss Perkins already
had shown her capacity as commissioner of labor in New
York state, and the promotion to the post of secretary of la
bor was earned. Mrs. Ruth Bryan Owen is a daughter of the
late William Jennings Bryan, so she was born in the atmos
Dhere of politics. But she is talented in her own right, and
one or two summers ago went on an auto camping tour of
Europe which gave her plenty of first-hand information
about conditions on that continent. The third appointee,
Mrs.; Nellie Tayloe Ross, is frankly rewarded for her party
loyalty. As former governor of Wyoming she camt into na
tional fame, and her consistent support of democratic can
didates gave her a claim on party honors. She probably will
not have to do much down at the mint; you see paper money
is printed at the bureau of engraving.
. There is no reason why women should not be named to
positions of responsibility. They are daily demonstrating
ability to manage affairs of a household; Ttnd many are
equipped to enlarge their field of service. The world is not
going to be transformed by women jn politics; but they may
succeed in getting politics up a notch or two, and thatwould
be worth while in itself .

THE disparity between hop prices and wages is typical of
what happens when inflation gets under way. First the
prices zoom way up, and the wages follow tardily. Later on
the prices. zip way down, and the wages hang on the upper
levels for quite a spell. Of course there is no. harmony be- The story of Mr. Litchfield bring

workers will force a readjustment of wage scales. The work
ers are now complaining over their low wages.
Workers have to remember these things, however, that
most of the growers sold their hops at 30c or below; and
that many urowers have contracted their 1933 crops at
around 20c a pound. That makes quite a difference in the pic- td the store at the Grand Ronde
ture. The workers are also at this disadvantage, mere is
a surplus of labor even at 20c an hour.
There is always a tug and a pull between wages and
price levels: that is what makes these periods of sharp read
justment so painful. Sometimes it is the producer who gets merchant in Salem.

Mr. Litchfield, In passing away
some years ago, left a racaney In
many respects. One, his services
were always ln demand ln
straightening op titles, where the
records were not clear, on account
of bis memory lasting oyer two
generations of residents who had
gone to their long homes, or had
moved to some other section or
country. He left Jos. A. Baker to
carry on in that respect; alike
with wide acquaintance and re
tentive memory, and a still older
resident. The mantles of the two

On both sides, his forbears were

Sewase Disposal Plants
TTlOR the Willamette valley as a whole, one of the best places
A' in which to nut R. F. C. money at work providing em

from Cottaee Grove to Portland. Few if any of the towns
can provide the cash now for such work, though it needs to
be done. The investment will have to.be made some time It

. : Salem for example has' already bought the ground for
a sewage disposal plant. What needs to be built is a large in
tercepting sewer to take the waste which is now emptied
into the river, and carry it to the disposal plant north of the
city. This would provide work, and would be a very practical
public improvement Portland and other cities bordering on
the river need the same plants. If the Willamette were clean
ed up there would be much less call for going to the moun
tains for a water supply for this city.

; CHAPTER XXXVIII f
Wilton Street was dark and silent
whtn Mary Faith left it that night,
but the. windows of the Maldoos
apartment were brightly lighted and
there was a long black guttering row
of parked automobiles at the curb.
The taxicab drew up beside them
and Mary Faith -felt three or four
drops of ky rain oa her face as she
stepped out and paid the driver.
Inside, th tall bunding was like
a modern Tower of BabeL filled with
the murmur of many voices and of
radio music that seeped into the halls
from behind the closed doors of the
two and three-room "housekeeping"
suites. Mary Faith never had seen
a child, or heard the voice of a child.
is the boil ding. .
The colored woman who helped
out whenever the Maldoos had par
tks was just emerging from their
suite when Mary Faith arrived. She
held the door open, and Mary Faith
stepped inside. No one saw her for
a -moment as she stood ia the tiny
foyer, taking ta the scene in tbe liv
lag room. Everything was just as
she 'had known it would be. Four
or five people were gathered around
the tea-wagoa at the far end oi the
room. Three or four others knelt on
the rug beside a blckgammon board.
One couple danced slowly and
dreamily in the middle of the floor.
Kim and Claire.
Claire's yellow head was tilted
back in the crook of Kim's arm, and
she was saying something to him
that made him smile. There was
something in his face a look of ten
der absorption that made Mary
Faith feel as if someone bad taken
tight hold of her heart and was
squeezing it. And tbe in an instant
that look was gone. Kim had caught
sight of her. He said something to
Claire, who turned and called out.
"Hello. Mary Faith T Thea the two
of them came forward.
"Hello, wife!" Kim said. "X had
so idea you'd be along pretty soon.
if I just waited for you."
"Yes, he's been fairly pacing the
floor, waiting for you," Claire put in,
and the grouja around the tea-wsgoe
burst into a roar of laughter.
Jack Maldoa had come up behind
Mary Faith. "Let me take your
coat." he said.
Trhanks, Jack," They confronted
each other gravely ia tbe midst of
the confiukQ and tbe crasy dia, ex
actly aa two people who spoke the
same language might have faced
each other Ia a crowd of foreigners.
"Do you want to come oat to the
Idtchen whDe I wash glasses f" he
s'ked.
That's a great idea," said
raucously. "You and Mary Faith go
out and do your "hewers of wood
and carriers of water" act, and while
you're doing that. Ill dance with
vour wife." .
"Oh, come oa and dance then and
don't talk so much, Handsomer
Claire interrupted. With troubled
eyes Mary Faith watched them
dance across the room. She fek lust
then that sbe would cheerfully sur
render a year of her fife to be able
to do what Claire was doing to
dance Kim away from everybody
else, and make him like It.
For there was no doubt that Kim
did like h. He followed Claire arouad
tbe flat like her shadow all the rest
of the night. Mary Faith watched
them thoughtfully. Jealously, and
with a kind of sick despair, when
ever she emerged from the hot
kitchen where she sad Jack were
cooking the breakfast that every
body demanded along toward four
o'clock.
"Gosh. Im tired f he said, open

He sounded tired. Tired and dis

Mary Faith had been listening to
Kim for the past five minutes. He
had been singing "Frankie and
Johnnie" for the crowd, and he was
oa the last verse now:
"This story has no moral
This story has no end.
This story only goes to show
That there ain't no good ia men'
"The whole place smells like a
brewery, too." Jack went oa. and
then suddenly he laughed.

Mary Faith turned from the stove
and faced him. "The trouble with
you and me. Jack, is that we aren't
'good sports.' The only difference is
that you try to be. one, and I don t
1 know there's a side of Kim that
likes this sort of s good time, and I
don't evea pretend to understand
that side of him."
It was a side of him that she had
never known until long alter sne
married him. she reflected a little
later, watching him and Claire feed
each other bits of toast and omelette.
He was almost like a stranger to her.
this loud-talking, laughing man, with
hie bloodshot eyes and rumpled
blond hair.
He scowled when she begged htm
to start home as soon as breakfast
had been eatea and the crowd was
beginning to dance and drink again.
And it came over her suddenly that
he had always treated her with some
thing between dislike and indmer
eace when he was with Claire Mal
doa and her crowd.
No, Tm not going home," he
told her. "I'm having a good time.
If you want to leave, it's more than
okay with me. . . . You sure do know
how to put the graveyard touch to a
party.'
Mary Faith wondered bow he
could find this one of Claire's so en
tertaining. It was so like all the
other gatherings in the Maid on flat
The same drinks and games and
dance-music The same peopl
Che red-haired woman who always
wore pink, the one named Sally who
always did a solo daace called "the
mess-srounr that she had learned,
so she invariably explained,' on a
plantation ia the South one year
wbea she had wintered there, the
Bttle black-mustacbed man who
could ait on a stone jug and fight a
snatch stuck in the toe of his shoes
without falling off the jug. To Mary
Faith it was all very duU and very
sUy.
Mary Faith finally telephoned for
a cab and went home. It was broad
daylight when she was awakened by
the sound of coughing. She opened
her eyes ta find Kim standing beside
the bed, trying to get out of his coat
and vest When she tried to help
him. she found that his clothes were
damp and that there were drops of
moisture on his hair.
What happened. Kim? You're
wet"
He had to think for a minute be
fore he answered her. "Raining, out
side," he said anally. "Raining and
snowing. My car stopped oa the way
home. Couldal get it started again.'
He refused to take the hot bath
that she got ready for him, and by
the time she had made him a cup of
hot coffee be was sound asleep,
breathing ia aa uneven, rapid way
that made her remember the way he
had breathed a few weeks before
whea he had bronchitis.
He slept all day Evea the cough
Faith called the doctor and by the
time be arrived, Kim was delirious.
Pneumonia," Dr. Thatcher said
gravely. "I've been afraid of this.
You see, he never properly recovered
from tbe first attack of bronchitis."
Day after day Mary Faith nursed
Kim, hovering over him with med
icine or the little clinical thermom
eter that told the story of tbe fever
that was torturing him. One night
whea his temperature ran very high,
he began to call for her. She was
sitting beside him and sbe laid her
hand on his arm and asked him what
he wanted.
I want Mary Faith," be muttered.
ia the thick voice of delirium.
"So, 'way down deep in his heart.
I'm the person he thinks of and
wants," she told herself as she sat
there through tbe long hours of the
night He might flirt with a pretty
gui. might go out to places fike the
Golden Pheasant Tavern for aa eve
ning's pleasure, or wander up to the
LI ai dons' flat for a Dutch sapper and
ahigJibaH. But all those things were
simply cheap excursions away from
her, she mused. She and the baby
and this little home of theirs were
the important things ia his life. She
was tranquilly certain of it
On the ninth day tbe fever broke
and Kim was "out of the woods."
A week later he was well enough to
sit up, and Mary Faith hung over
him. her face tender and radiant with
the happiness of being near him and '
taking care of him. 1 .
The baby, who adored Kim, spent
half bis time in the room, trotting
about on bis small unsteady legs, or
rolling his red crochet ball up apd
down the counterpane of Kim's bed.
Irs so wonderful you rt getting
weU and the three of as are here
together, safe and happy," Mary
Faith said oae bright soowy morn
ing as she put Kim's room m order.
She leaned over him and laid her
rosy cheek against his white oae for
a second. But ia that second she felt
him draw away from her. .
If you re through fussing arouad
in here, Fd fike to lie down sad be
quiet" he. said kveQy. "Take the
baby with you whea yoa go."
He could not have hurt her more
surprised her more if be bad
struck her. He had seemed so wholly
hers during the past week or two.
But she knew now that that was only
because he had beea weak and pas
sive in his runesa,
Mary Faith had beea sleeping oa
the couch ia the sitting room ever
since New Year's night, aad whea
Kim was well enough to go back to
work she made ao change ia that
arrangement February warmed in
to March, and at the end of March
things were just as they had been
ia the autumn before Kim's illness.
He stayed out late two or three
times a week, making no excuse for
his absences. In fart, be bad very
little to say to Mary Faith about
anything. When he did talk to her.
it was of ordinary things.
"Has my suit come back from tbe
cleaner, Mary Faith?"
"If s in your closet, Kim."
"If you'll sdd up your grocery b3L
m give you the money for it"
"Thanks, Kim."
No kiss now whea he left for the

before the sitting room fire. No gay

standing Salem's city ordinance
forbidding the sale of beer beer
is being sold. Same old bunch ot
outlaws that the saloon waa, ln
faet this beer saloon is but the
forerunner of the old saloon that
both parties Laid should not come
back. It is coming back. AH that
prevents these beer rooms from be
ing the old-time saloon Is that the
18th amendment won't let them.
hence their frantic efforts to re
peal the amendment. It Is to he
hoped that your city council will
carry this case into the supreme
court if they lose out In the lower
court. There is too much at stake
to atop short of the supreme
court. Other city councils in this
snd other states are wafting tor
the outcome ot this test . suit
While this case is In court your
city ordinance, la still In. force-
why encourage anarchy by letting
these wets defy your lew. Havent
yoa a sheriff with nerve enough
to load them up ln a truck and
cart them oft to Jail? Haa not
the governor of this state got
nervo enough to set his stste po
lice oa them?
Wo walked all over your beau
tiful city looking for a place that
DID NOT servo beer with meals.
At last wo found one near the tall
building over one of your banks.
We do not have much money, and
not a penny to spend with the
beer saloon. The hop growers of
Newberg rear up on their hind
legs and threaten to boycott New-
berg because her city council
won't license beer saloons. They
thought they were roaring like
lion, - whea in reality it was only
tha bray of a Jackass. Tamnui
prohibition laws. Come on States
man, come oa you drys. put Mar
ion in tho dry block. Tou can do
it if you get busy, show these wet
outlaws that Marlon county, is
loyal to the state and federal con
stitutions not a psrt but si! the
constitution, which includes the
18th amendment. Carry tho coun
ty and tho sevea delegates to vote
tor the 18th amendment. Are you
game? If so, come on and help us
to hold Oregon ln line for tho
18th amendment
